The Eximus is ridiculously good. Vs Nad the musicians are there in the room with you.  Great bass grip and detail.  Nad is lighter in bass, paler in presentation but still good.  Eximus. From SB touch edo to USB clarity! Clearer than any DAC I've heard so far.  Amazing.

Bass has bloom but tight enough and fast so it doesn't overload the room. 

I haven't tried it as a preamp yet. it's supposed to be very good so. 

Also listened over Neil's to several headphones.  Beyer T1 makes a nice combo. A little warmth.  Also mr speakers are very good at under 300

Some other thoughts...
Bass grip runs deep. Its like I bought a new subwoofer. Much more low low detail than with the Bryston.

Id say the Eximus is a tad less forgiving than the Bryston, though changing the up sampling helps. 192 is tight and twinkly. And  as you go down, 96 to not oversampled the music seems to relax a bit.

Id say the balance is very similar to the Bryston, nothing calls attention to itself per say. Vs the Minimax Plus.. The plus was very tall, extending the top for miles so it seemed, while retaining bass and dynamics.

The Nad had less bass energy or less bloom and was, to me, about watching the music and marveling at the complexity and viewing what was going on in a song. Very fast, also with an extended top, but not so much as the Dexa MM plus.

The Eximus imaging while not as large as either the NAD or MM Plus, exacts its player placement on the audio stage and there is a clarity not heard before in my system...

Overall very happy, and I got to hear some other great dacs on the way.
Now Im going to look for some headphones..  :D
Its cool ndude.

Hi Mike,   glad you are so enjoying the Eximus DP-1 after just a few days run time in early break in.  We are really enjoying it here too!    Wish it was set up and broken in for that last Rave we had here  : }
It has a purity of presence that is quite captivating. 
Have fun...            Thanks,  --Neil

First Id like to say Neil is a great guy. I bet he'd cut a great deal for anyone on AN!

I think its just starting to break in now... a little more seductive and ease in the voicing.
Its cool ndude.
