I forgot to add that I had read or better yet viewed more than a few YouTube reviews talking about the everSOLO A6 being bright as well, yet it was for me a revelation as compared to the retailed cost of $5800 when new for both the Aurender X100L music server and Denafrip Pontus ll which it replaced, in my case the former was all nice and cuddly sounding, as what I'm inclined to think those seeking a more analogue based presentation would love, yet within the very first track played on the A6, I knew right off the bat this was the best reproduction of low end weight and impact I've heard in-house to date, and being as it has been well over 9 DACs later, several costing around the $1400 mark, so if some think the of its top end high as being bright!, I'm way pass that point of over listening to what the masses have to say, because in truth, how many of us have the exact same taste?, system?, set biases in how we listen?, let's just say I hear it as detailed | had a better means of displaying top end detail, which the other tandem glossed over and made everything sound more organic, but at the cost of how it handled more complex passages within the notes.This was of course when it was used primarily with a Jena Labs Crimson Red RX silver plated copper power cord, which had a set of the IeGO 9085 pure silver rhodium plated connectors attached to it, but upon having installed the copper based Accuphase 40th cloned cord onto it, even with its stock gold plated brass connectors, everything seemed to have fallen into place..., so much so said other units were listed for sale within two days, and sold within two days after being listed, so apparently both have their attraction by others.
While I've owned two of the cheaper Denafrips Ares ( MK ll, and currently the 12th-1 models ) the Pontus ll showed itsejf to be extremely sensitive to power surges and the likes, as I've to assume having a butterfly fart in the distance would cause it to go into standby mode within seconds, so let's just say as my wife and I are apartment dwellers, the power lines are as stable as they could be, but for any device that requires to be rebooted or powered up about every 2 minutes into tracks, just didn't cut it, said Ares MK ll or 12th-1 DACs have never even flicked during said fluctuations on the power lines in either room, so I'm very very very content in what I hear from the A6, and if the funds were available, I seriously doubt I'd be looking to buy anything other than said A8 model. It's seems Andrew Jones on YouTube, might be one of the few that understands what's going on sonically with this brand, color me biased, and I'd immediately raise both hands, but for the life of me, I of all people should know " Mi-Sound ", and this suits my personality preference in sound | as well as how I love hearing my music played back, which costs in my book.., so dull, rolled off, softened approach to sending the notes through one's electronics, and speakers don't fly in my book, I tend to seek and crave that very very rare balance between refinement | detail, and am in my mind close enough to know what to listen for, as well as too, and have found it at a faction of what some brands are asking for their entry level or only unit on the market, the only other device I'd have purchased was a Innuos PulseMini, yet I've long grown tired of devices that don't allow placement for an SSD within them ( hell even my used Auralic Ares Mini in the bedroom has onboard provisions for an added 2TB HHD ) | as well as wishing to avoid anything that requires adding another LPS to the mix, give me something with an internal SSD slot, and IEC inlet, and offers good quality software | sound, and I'm good to go.
Party on Garth, we aren't worthy, as look at us, we relying upon cheap ass Chinese cords on our slightly above average systems, we couldn't possibly know what we're talking about, now could we?. I hear what I hear, and that's all that I hear, shades of the old Popeye saying I'm what I'm, and that's all that I'am.
O_o ( insert smiley face | you'll get the joke is on the nonbelievers ) so be it. All one has to do is look at the photos of various audio gear I've placed within my post for years, and know that while I can't afford a million dollar system, I'm well aware of what nice shit is, hint | hint.
