RE: Higher "Rez" Seems to Offer Lower Overall Quality

Interesting that you mention the Mytek Brooklyn. I last week listened to a system which employed the Mytek Manhattan DAC. Suffice it to say, I've never heard anything like the quality of sound produced, by that system, particularly the open, airy, shimmery highs such as cymbals. Also, the bass, oh my, the bass pressurization was so frigging deep and visceral. Now, granted that these were big speakers, but I've heard big speakers before.

And what was playing was "only" CD quality tracks on a pc connected to the DAC with a USB cable. I had just attended the symphony a few days earlier, and the cymbals produced by the system sounded the closest to what I heard at the symphony than any reproduced audio I've ever heard.
