[QUOTE="Jason Willemse, post: 942257, member: 18958"] Listening at levels considered ?loud? certainly has it?s place for me, but would be a very small part of my typical listening behavior. My room is treated, very quiet, and allows me to enjoy my music at low levels. It is at these low volumes that I expect the system to perform with a ?full-bodied? sound. This is where I found the node?s DAC to be in the lean side, lacking in mid-bass and tonal richness therein. The practice of changing DAC?s is an expensive one - but one that makes sense if one wishes to tune a system to one?s liking without unnecessary processing. I dislike EQ, upscaling and filters for the most part, so avoid them. The changing/tuning via DAC options is much like having the right stylus/cartridge on the turntable.
