LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews
Time domain is definitely a thing but how much can one pick up is probably as subjective as anything else.

LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews
Well the truth is dac differences are really small and do not alter the sound(nor meant to) in a big way. The speakers matters more then any other equipment in the chain. But if your chain is already up, then maybe a upgrade to the DAC is worth it for the pursuit of the last mile.- tassardar
