Very nice and elaborate report @baconbrain!
I myself compared the Vodka and Diamond in my system (twice actually a few years apart) and ‘unfortunately’ I liked the Diamond better. I felt the Vodka showed some thinness and unnatural highs. But of course this is hugely subjective and system dependant.
I wrote my impressions here: https://devialetchat.com/Thread-Antoine-...42#pid3142 the first time. I went back to USB and later to ethernet again but in between sold the Diamond which I then had then to buy again after a new comparison to the Vodka.
