"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 thats packed with energy. Thats not the case here. Playing a rough and highly charged recording like Polices Roxanne, this converter responds with vigour. It delivers a sound with all the attack and drive the song deserves." - What Hifi?
