Work in progress at the Wilson Audio manufacturing facility. A pair of mighty bronze/gold Autobiography speakers are nearing completion, showcasing their complexity and attention to detail down to each part; there are over 1,800 of them per speaker.

But there’s certainly a high amount of dynamic headroom on the ZEN Air DAC 2 to sound satisfyingly husky for a budget model.The sonic signature does best with Rock, EDM, and music that rely on an impactful, fast attack and decay, and not so much with the delicacy needed for complex tracks.I personally like the way the ZEN Air DAC 2 attacks transients with decent kick drum impacts that don’t sound anemic.

Don’t try the Kubala-Sosna Ovation loom if you aren’t prepared to take the plunge, because once you hear them, you will never be able to unhear their unparalleled sonic grandeur and be willing or able to settle for the less polished performance you lived with prior to their insertion. You have been warned, and I have a new reference.
