For the longest time, I was using an AMC CD8b as a transport with a Theta Chroma 396 DAC. The combo had a nice warm, laid back and smooth sound. Not harsh at all, but lacked some detail. In my quest for increased detail, I picked up a famed Pioneer PD-65 to use as a transport. The soundstage with the pioneer was way bigger and a lot of detail was brought forward. I really thought I found a replacement for the AMC, but that only lasted about 2 weeks. I grew very tired of the sound, which was too forward and etched in the upper midrange. I've tried a few different interconnects to try to compensate, but with no success. From what I've read about the Onix, it should fit my taste (and budget). The planned op amp upgrade should bring the sound up a notch, or more.BTW, My speakers are Magnepan SMGA's with a Velodyne F1200 servo sub. My system is quite revealing and sensitive to the slightest change in the source.
