I'm afraid I heard the M51 and came to the same conclusion. However, I heard it cold and had assumed it was just not broken in or warmed up. The Parasound ZDac V2 easily outclassed it, when just as cold.The M51 had a hard treble and lacked low level detail and compressed dynamics.
BTW, I _LIKE_ the ZDac, especially for the price.
If you are looking for expensive, try the following instead:
Berkeley
Mytek
Schiit
Ayre Codex is also getting good buzz. Not heard it.Best,
Erik
