I stumbled upon this opinion thread and like to rectify my latest opinion of two in this thread. The listening I did with the updated power supply did not include a calibration of db level as I did in my first opinion. I just dropped in the BHD and adjusted the db level by ear. After measuring by smart phone db meter I found that I tended to run the BHD 2-3 db higher than my Aqua. After calibrating I again found the Aqua to be more dynamic. Also, the more I listened to the two DACs the more I tended to pick the Aqua over the BHD and now the Aqua is the only one I’m using in my main system where the BHD have it’s place in my secondary system. The impression in my first opinion describes quite well what I experience over time. I guess I’m just a single bit DAC guy even if the BHD is the best attempt of a delta sigma DAC I’ve listen to.
