Should I build a ProtoDAC?
#6
Usually I don't find YT sound comparisons helpful. In this case, I think the difference is pretty obvious. The OS DAC has the typical OS sound character that just grates on me. The saxophone sounds edgy. The digital horn effect. A live saxophone sounds smooth. The poster prefers the OS DAC, and he is actually sitting in front of the speakers. Is the OS nastiness "detail"?

The holiday season is a great time to hear live acoustic music. OS clearly ruins the sound of brass instruments, which sound very smooth live.
