RE: Benchmark DAC2

Posted by Jian on March 14, 2023 at 16:37:19:
I spent a whole day comparing WiiM pro, Zen Streamer, and Mac Mini.

You are right. Mac mini has very good sound. It is my most favorable-sounding device among these three. Its sound is very natural and not fragile. However, its sound stage is compressed.

Wiim pro has the most fragile sound. But it has the most fragile sound and high resolution. I can hear a lot of details in the sound. It has the best sound stage among all three. For the right DAC, it can sound wonderful.

Zen streamer has a soft and less fragile sound. Its sound stage is the worst among the three. Its sound doesn't have a lot of details.

I think I will stick with the Mac mini for now.
