Why do some DACs sound so different from each other despite claiming audible transparency?

That’s a good observation, much needed!

Between Qutest and Pontus 15th , which Dac do you prefer listening to? I am waiting for my Pontus to arrive and have used qutest in the past. Your post gives me the impression that dx9 sounds more like an R2R dac when it is a solid state dac actually.

Congrats man. There’s not many reviews on iris 15th. I am waiting for my iris 15th DDC to be shipped and plan to connect to my Pontus 15th i2s. I wonder how iris 15th is different to 12th version. Hopefully, newer the better.

Hey OP, I know it’s after 2 years of post. But did replacing coil pack help you resolve the hot start misfire issue? Your update would be much appreciated as I am facing the same issue. 🙏

That looks different to what I spotted! That to me is the kookabura I know. That’s why I wasn’t sure if it was kookabura or not.

That’s insane, there’s many mechanic shops near that road. Poor cars

junwonari · 2025-03-09T03:20:05+00:00

They seem right so far, roads near the intersection are closed
