D200/BW805d with Athom ZEF MAX cables.
The system is slowly breaking in, 5 weeks, close to 100 hours I think, and I feel high frequencies sometimes too present, harsh on some records but it's improving. I feel a high SAM % has a negative impact on hf, emphasing harshness.
On some records it's already magic ! (fw 8.1.2)
I'm surprised with the good bass presence (compared to the size of the 805d) and the voices witchery.... Sorry, English is not my mother tongue
What a difference between IPad/qobuz/AirPlay/airport express/optical and Daphile/qobuz/wireworld starlight 7 (usb pin 1, +, isolated on the PC slot)/USB, incredibly well balanced and no tiring listening with Daphile (Alsa buffer 120, period 36).
