RE: comparing I2S vs. AES3 with Gustard U12+X12

Hi Beppe,It is not often that you find someone who uses Apogee products refer to their system as low end.So,either you have golden ears,are modest,are very demanding,or-all of the above.
I am a classical musician.Never had much money or even spare cash.But,for many reasons,I did channel relatively much of what I " did not have" into getting good sound.At some time,I decided to check out if digital sound could be livable,and bought an Apogee DAC and A to D.At around the same time a Deltec/DPA PDM1.3 came my way.I also had an MSB DAC-probably their entry level converter.I was fully expecting the Apogee to be head and shoulders above the others.As it turned out,after listening to the Deltec,there was no comparison,the Apogee sounded disappointing.Also the A to D was less good than the internal converter in my HHB-800.Sometimes surprises work in our favor,sometimes less so.Best,Raanan
