This really needs some warming up before any serious listening can be done. Sounds like shit when cold.
@Erroneous Unfortunately yes. Altough I wouldn't describe it as bright, treble is certainly glarey and slightly piercing. Not well delineated at all.
Technicalities are okay, compared against Soekris dac2541: ARC DAC8 has better macrodynamics, worse microdynamics and slightly greyer background. I'd say detail retrival and imaging are better, but dac2541 wins easily on timbre and involvement.
