depends on your prefernces
I prefer the ifi DACs(Burr Browns) sound over others like SMSL SU-8 with Sabre chipset
if you decide to get the Zen DAC, try to compare your D10 to it - maybe with some FLAC Files
so expensive… and i have a jds labs atom amp already, but the project looks so awesome
Wait really? It’s not around 130usd? Also personally I would take the zen dac over the project, as I was not really impressed by the s2
sorry, was referring to the project audio…
anyway i have been reading more and more into mqa and WOW this is a controversial topic. many suggest mqa is just a business tactic, scam, etc, while other swear by it. i really want to try it lol. the ZenD is only available as pre-order / back order in the US so that will have to wait.
yo man, relax lol. he’s super helpful, knowledgeable, and above all he’s just sharing his damn opinion which i am asking for. audio is all subjective and opinionated.
Hi Lothar,
@M0N never said anything else - his subjective opinion
can´t understand where this heat/spice comes from
It’s pretty common to me, a friend has one and most dealers in my area have project gear.
I did not claim I have heard the 660s, I mainly have just expressed my opinions on the matter and also gone off of the information available online. If there is a significant sonic difference, please let me know, as I will edit and correct previous posts I have made concerning the matter. Everything I have seen right now just does not make me believe there was an intended, significant sound change.
And also I make sure to let people know that this is my opinion and mine alone, I’m not stating any of this as fact. This entire hobby is subjective as shit, and everyone has different opinions, and everyone is entitled to share their own feel what they like. Everybody does not have to see eye to eye on everything.
And just because I say I don’t prefer something and then recommend something else does not make the thing I don’t like somehow worse, it just doesn’t meet my preference or match my standards, and does not make it less of product. I have nothing to gain by pushing products or my opinion here. I’m not a reviewer, I have no affiliation with any company or product, I’m just here to enjoy having conversations with people that like this hobby, and try to help people out on the way. This is my cure for bored at work syndrome

Meridian Explorer 2…I use mine all the time with my pc and my android phone along USB Audio Pro Player software… the explorer 2 is kind of hard to find now. I purchased mine when it was $299.
Huh, I didn’t know it was mqa compatible, also a nice dac
Kickstarter, ZTella, MQA version ~$57 +10 shipping
ETA: December 2019
The dragonfly red is pretty well received.
Thanx for the info. No I’ll need to figure out what to do with my SMSL IDEA DAC.
The great budget DAP Fiio M6 got support for MQA in the last update.

Nice little transport with now even mqa! -thx for the information!
can’t remeber if the M6 has USB DAC out
Could be nice as source for the xDSD
Does it support the Android app USB Audio Player Pro?
Yes, it could be used as an USB DAC.
As far as I know (I don´t own the M6… yet) it doesn´t have Google Play Store to install third party apps. I think it´s the main complain of M6 users…
