Great review and description of the sound. If I ever win a big price in the lottery I will consider this as the DAC in my system.

Great first impression review Koji! I have the Poseidon and I can't find the words to describe how good it sounds, it is breathtaking, I paired it with OG Valkyria and MK 465. I don't think I'm ever upgrading but if I do Horizon is the way.

I love how using a tube source can add some magic to a solid state amp. It's great when you have planars which typically work best with solid-state amps, but want some tube glow.

nah, its so boring to have no background sound...some channels benefit from it, adding a little ambiance to the presentation. Lots of time, having a host talking with no background noise makes the presentation dry and boring. I am not at a lecture at school, I am watching an hifi review which is ABOUT DACS/AMPS/DAP THAT PLAY MUSIC.

It seems to me unless you are willing to plop down 15k for a Lina or something you should just be happy with the dac you got. I had topping denafrips smsl rose they all sounded good. To move to something like this you had to have had the greatest day ever at the office. Gear in price range of great cars is a place I could not go unless my wealth was truly unlimited even then if purchase it would be for a gift for someone as that would bring me more joy than the gear.

Why KT88's to drive a low power output? Why tubes in a DAC? unless you're actually using them in the decoding like the valveDAC from Linear Audio.

@@ConvinceMeAudio You admit to knowing that you shouldn't respond, and then you precede to belittle a viewer anyway. Conceited people generally lack self-awareness. My comments still stand: Why use a power tube to drive a low level output. Why not use a transmitter tube then. Tell me what is the belief? you have access to the manufacturer. As far as I'm aware, linear audio has the only design for a valve-based delta-sigma decoder. And it's DIY a for the hardcore hobbyist.
