Versus the Topping DX7s I was using just before, the D90 is very similar perhaps with a tiny bit more resolution.
I like the D90 but then I'm a transparency/resolution fanatic when I comes to not only DACs but equipment in general.
Does the D90 lack "air"? I can't compare it with the Denafrips, but I don't find it lacking in "air" if by that one means transparency and fine detail -- on the contrary. I owned an R2R DAC years ago but in fairness I wouldn't assume it was equal quality to modern DACs.
I have used the D90 ahead of my Freya + in Tube Mode. All I can say is that I rarely used Tube mode but instead mostly Passive Mode. Here let me be blunt: I regard the "air", "soundstage", and "holographic" effect of tubes to be "fake". I find it detracts significantly from the sound in case of Classical music, though when I listen to Jazz and other mainly solo voice and instrumental music, the effect is generally pleasing.
