Article: Review | Auralic Altair G1 Digital Audio Streamer

[DuckToller]

Chris, thank you very much for this excellent & interesting review.
It sounds like this G1 is pretty much all you need with a set of active speaker if you you're up to a digital-only system.

Given the recent discussion I followed about the difference of AKM and ESS-Chip design for direct DSD mode

I was wondering if you could describe any perceptible difference in sonic imaging using HQP/DSD compared to the AURENDER A30 (+15k$) that uses the AKM AK4497 DAC chips in double mono configuration for up to DSD512?

Curious, Tom
