RE: Denafrips Ares II DAC vs Topping D90 DAC - My impressions....

I seriously doubt the X16 is better than the A18... and from watching all possible online reviews, that's not what I could draw as a conclusion. The X16 has native MQA, is cheaper, measures great and those are the reasons why it might be perceived as "better value"; the A18 being also, as far as I can tell, completely sold out and unobtainium due to the AKM fire.

But as I'm listening to my A18 I can hear the AK4499 magic in glorious fashion and I seriously doubt the X16 with ESS chips could better that! ;-)
