I understand exactly what you mean. Nothing I did, including upsampling, power cords, IC's, etc. etc. etc. could get rid of it. The only way to get rid of it was to actually kill the sonics of the Dac itself.

I evaluated the AKM chip as a candidate for my new DAC about 2 years ago. I modded the heck out of the demo board and even powered it from batteries. Still no good IMO. Lots of detail, but a digital hardness that would not go away.
I am not hearing the hardness - but horses for courses - it certainly isn't as warm as my record player setup, and My Rega DAC is close to it.
Which chip did you settle upon?

I think he purposely avoided including that information in the literature, perhaps to avoid scrutiny.
One thing I find disturbing is the inclusion of a "Fan" in the Dac mounted on the top.
