I was really loving the sound of this DAC
The Delta is, in my opinion, what a Roon server should be.
The exaSound s88 streaming DAC performs its tasks superbly; in fact, it exceeds the performance of any DAC that I have used. I would describe its sound as transparent rather than detailed, dynamically responsive rather than lively, and honest in how it presents voices.
I must add that I have greatly enjoyed listening to music through the Delta. The sound quality seems to depend only on the quality of the music files you feed it. ...The value proposition is high. It sounds great. I like it a lot. It's a keeper..
