    CD2 Reviews

    Stereo Times, Russell Lichter, Feb 2012

    (Reviewed in tandem with the DAC3.5VB MKII) When adding the CD2 to his system: “…the treble was airier, more nuanced and detailed; the bass seemed to reach distinctly ower with more body and authority; there was greater overall clarity, finer ambient detail; orchestral horns had a more realistic bite; there was an unambiguous and engaging rhythmic drive; imaging and sound staging were improved as well. These changes did not require concentration to detect, they were not in the least subtle, they were abundant and obvious.”
