may be no big difference with the 590 ! pity that it does not have XLR outputs in preamp...
This is good news!...and a good bit closer to neutral than the V281, which I like a lot.
Felt the same way about the DAC at the beginning, give it some time, it settles/smooths out.Auditioned the V226.
Very mixed feelings about it.
The footprint is ideal for my use case but the dac is quite disappointing. Treble a little rough.
The amp section is amazing (similar to my V220) but not sure about spending it’s asking price cos I can use it at best as an amp.
Defeat purpose of a combo.
In some cases, one part of a combo unit is so worthwhile sonically & functionally, that maybe it's best to just avoid thinking about the part that's less worthwhile. Examples:Auditioned the V226.

And do yourselves a favor and get a good USB cable.Felt the same way about the DAC at the beginning, give it some time, it settles/smooths out.
Personally I would not discard the DAC, it is definitely good enough for me as my PC/travel rig (as I am using it right now).
But my dream pairing with it would definitely be the Bifrost 2 or a Soekris.

My 60cm Wireworld Chroma 8 just arrived, ordered USB-C into USB-C by mistake, so I had to order another PCIE card with a C connector (get one to separate the USB from Board power).Could you please name some USB cables you recommend.
Thanks.
P.s.: If Supra Cables had an USB-C cable I would recommend that too. High quality with a reasonable pricetag.Could you please name some USB cables you recommend.
Thanks.
I have 2 Lush Phasure cables--the first edition, not the ones w/external P.S. wire. Not the cheapest cables around, but great sound.Could you please name some USB cables you recommend.
Thanks.
