Fkuti, In comparison to my modified Zhaolu 2.0, its far more resolving. No, its not the equal of PhilNY's Dodson, but then again <$400 delivered vs.$8k is a big difference. The Citypulse is, IMO, a better DAC than anything until you start talking big bucks, $2K+ Then again, I've not heard everything out there. The Paradisea is a lovely dac, the tube allows some 'rolling', but frankly, the OPA2604 in it constrains the resolution substantially. Its not nearly as resolving as my Zhaolu 2.0 which allows easily changing the opamps due to their being socketed in the Zhaolu, unlike the Paredisea. I'm awaiting some feedback from some freinds who've I've given a OPA2107 and LM4562 to try in their Paredisea as a replacement.
