Popular Post further Posted March 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2020 I received my ER last Wednesday, and have been using it for upwards of 8 hours per day feeding a microRendu. I have used two different DACS, DirectStream via I2S from Matrix X-SPDIF 2 connected to microRendu and Vinnie Rossi L2 DAC on NOS setting. The initial impression first couple days playing seemed very sharp, detailed presentation. Sound appear smoother now while retaining very pleasing detail. The soundstage comes across as very wide, and at times has distracted me with a guitar or instrument seeming to occasionally out of the blue insert itself far to the side of a channel for a brief moment. That has happened with both DACs and infrequently. I have not noticed that before. I am actually hoping the soundstage narrows a bit with further use. I may change my toe in on my speakers later on if need be. I am pleased with the purchase. The option to use it down line if I pursue optical ethernet is also a great plus for me. Kudos to UpTone on the USPCB A>B Adapter as well, which I ordered with the ER. This appears very neutral in coloration and mates perfectly from the microRendu to the Matrix. I also have used it with my VR L2 Signature SE preamp. If your system connections allow, I would recommend giving it a go. The value appears to me to be a home run and it along with my Triode Wire Dongle are my current go to USB favorites. so-no-mah and Superdad 1 1 Link to comment
