smoothes the sound at the expense of detail and micro dynamic changes - indeed regarding the detail and microdynamics, for which my Quads live and breathe.These changes are easily revealed with the Bobcat's Daniel Hertz companion DAC - and ironically, I find the Hertz DAC so eminently listenable that no smoothing is needed, the ratio of unlistenable CD's has dropped to nearly zero - and the detail, microdynamics, soundstaging, prat, tonality all the best I've ever heard from any player that seems not to deviate from neutrality, much less any player that has it all in one package.
It's not often you hear someone say they have the last DAC they'll ever own, or the last system they'll ever own - esp around here - but I have both, largely thanks to the Hertz DAC which I find more than resonably priced given it's performance, and easily capable of revleaing the subtleties of the Burwen software.
