This is my second purchase of the Peachtree Audio Dac-itx and the first one did not pair well with my previous speakers, but this time around it pairs extremely well with my Emotiva Stealth 8 Speakers.

A combination of both, being that it has this sweet, sweet midrange, very smooth, liquid and luscious sound like a British tube, as well as this clean, clear, powerful bass and very detailed like the American RCA. Before this DAC I had the HRT MS ll+ and the Peachtree Audio DAC Itx. Now there is no doubt in my mind that the MS HD is a huge, huge step up from the MS ll+ so I'll...
