Please understand I'm not trolling and respect opinions about shrillness because I've heard that myself with older DACs. But, thankfully it is in the past here.
I sampled the following Deccas -
* The 1984 Prokofiev Alexander Nevsky (Riccardo Chailly) - superb sound
* 1988 Puccini Weekend - Soprano Opera Arias - comes through cleanly without distortion (gave me goosebumps)
* Falla Nights in the Gardens of Spain - Ansermet - initially analog (i used to own the LP) - sounds great and far better than I ever managed with expensive arms, cartridges with vinyl
* Salute to Percy Grainger - 1989 Eloquence Decca release - Clear AQ
* 1985 Te Kanawa/Solti selections from the Messiah - first class sound
For some time now I advocate testing out the capability of a DAC with harpsichord music. In my experience most DACs hash up the complex harmonics to make it sound a jangled mess. And the forte piano is disliked for the same reason.
What can be more subjective than music? It reflects our personal tastes and preferences.
