"Instrument focus and precision within this expansive sound stage is spot-on. And, importantly, the overall cohesion – the thing that ties together the instrumental strands and makes the whole make musical sense – isn’t lost.
In terms of outright authority and low-frequency power, the DAC 8 need fear no rival: it sounds as solid and muscular as they come.
There is always a danger that products which excel at smoothness and refinement will end up sounding pedestrian when asked to replay something that’s packed with energy. That’s not the case here.
Playing a rough and highly charged recording like Police’s Roxanne, this converter responds with vigour. It delivers a sound with all the attack and drive the song deserves." - What Hifi
