“The soundstage is fairly compact, but it’s precisely layered and stable. The DAC in our Naim NDS/555PS streamer certainly goes wider, having more of a sense of space, but the Zodiac still satisfies.”

Simaudio MOON Nēo 260D CD Transport/DAC Review

” The Nēo 260D once again reaffirms why MOON gear is so popular among the TONEAudio staff. Most audio companies do one type of equipment well—not so with Simaudio; each of its products is first-rate for its price point.”

Wadia Digimaster 2000 Mk.2 digital processors Review

” The newest Wadia 2000, driven by the glass fiber-optic interface, is superbly musical and in many ways represents the state of the art of digital playback. It is clearly and dramatically improved over the earlier version auditioned, and when driven by a Wadia transport with glass-fiber output, takes another leap up in musicality over earlier production.”

Musical Fidelity M3si integrated amplifier & DAC Review

“Partly because the M3si needed proper a run-in and partly because the distributor was in no hurry to collect the amplifier I continued to use it for longer than normal. It turned out to be a fine partner to my system, offering a wide open and beautiful sound. In truth I have not been able to discover any real shortcomings, save to mention that the USB input lags when compared with the line inputs. Maybe Musical Fidelity is still more convinced about the quality of CD players compared to streaming”

“The gains in transparency and resolution are significant, with little of the loss of body, dynamics and drive that usually results when we use a suitably specified DAC in such a role.”

Parasound zdac v.2 Stereo D/A Converter Review

” When comparing the zdac v.2 to the ESS Sabre chip units Benchmark DAC2-D, Mytek Stereo 192-DSD and Resonessence ConceroHP, the zdac’s tight, tightly focused signature was more apparent in headphone amp A/B comparisons. The Benchmark and Mytek had more warmth to the mid and bass frequencies, and a bit more space around the instruments but again, I liked the analytical persona of the Parasound.”

“I always find digital sound difficult to describe compared to tubes, where the varying topologies have their usually distinctive sound. Not with Black. The system’s sound was easy to describe. Every time.”

“At the time I concluded that there was no DAC that sounded “ideal” to me and that no matter what, I would need to design the overall system to address each DACs shortcomings. However, I found that so long as I could improve PRAT, it bothered me more when bass sounded too thin and the presentation lacked body”

LEEMA ELEMENTS PRECISION DAC REVIEW

“Listening started with the AudioQuest Diamond USB cable. This would turn out to be the best match, but before I reached that conclusion I tried various other cables. The Wireworld Platinum Starlight 7 offered a more forward sound with a bolder character, but although I did like the Wireworld’s fuller bass, I found that it took away too much subtlety and refinement. ”
