just so you know

"6) I tried 3 different USB DACs (Proton plus HRT Music Streamer 2+ and Hegel HD2). The Hegel HD2 was transparent but slightly fatiguing and austere. The HRT 2+, while somewhat veiled, was very natural, warm and musical. As expected, the Proton is definitely superior to the other two overall, especially in timing (the asynchronous aspect, I'm sure). I haven't had a chance to try the Proton's headphone output yet."


Actually, the HRT Music Streamer II+ also uses async for its USB connection. Perhaps a better analog output stage is a more likely the reason for your observation.
