"The Octave mkII has a mid-range which is very spacious and natural with realism being especially strong due to image depth and impressive tonality. Treatment of overly sibilant recordings is amongst the best I've heard. You must ensure the Octave mkII sits on a suitable rack if you are to hear the DAC close to its best. With this optimized there's a lot of bass drive, I find I'm drawn more strongly to the bass line and rhythm than is normally the case, pacing is dictated by the music; depending on the music it can be very infectious, it makes me move to the music. The bass does not dominate but the Octave does ever so slightly highlight the bass. Is this 100% neutral? Possibly not but I don't know many people who would complain about this, most will welcome it" -Clive Meakins, Enjoy the Music
