So what do you actually listen for in a DAC?

[QUOTE="GoodEnoughGear, post: 829425, member: 18304"] I have issues with sibilance, so it's that hot region around 5-8k, graininess and sibilance first since that is a disqualifier for me. Then timbre and tonal accuracy (especially through headphones since I know my room needs correction). I also listen through monitors and try to relax and let the DAC make an impression on me rather than A/B ing or getting too clinical. Blackness and detail come after that. [/QUOTE]
