lol... I always hoped to be so big a woman might even notice...  :(
So far the Dac is excellent. Better than my Concero on its own or what I later used was the Concero feeding my old Theta Chroma. The Concero on its own feeding speakers was light in the bass. The combo was better but you cant play hires files.

Letting it burn in now... the onboard headphone amp is really excellent too. Pairing with my Senn 598s.
More after burn... ;)
Its cool ndude.

  So whatever was the outcome. Still have it ? Did the Sabre chip kill it for you ?
  Others have compared to Aurilic Vega saying very close.
