After throwing every kind of music and connection I could muster including USB, S/PDIF, and AES/EBU, I was unable to make the Zesto Audio Athena DAC with ESP Power Supply do anything but perform to state of the art levels. I have never heard a DAC this alive, lively, and realistic with such extraordinary definition. The level of quiet between instruments is perfection. Switching between bit rates is without flaw. The lights on the front panel clearly show you what is playing. I love the analogue knob dialing in the clearly marked digital sources. I have not heard a DAC on the planet that exceeds the Athena’s performance, tube or solid-state. I go to the symphony to hear the real thing and that is what you will hear with the Athena DAC. I heartily recommend you call your Zesto Audio Dealer and audition the Zesto Audio Athena DAC with ESP Power Supply ASAP.
