I upgraded from a HA160D to a Conductor. I liked my HA160D but the Conductor is even better. I can say without a doubt that when I listen to my system with your DAC I find myself listening to the music, not the equipment. I find other ESS Sabre DAC’S have a little edge that the Conductor smooth’s out. No fatigue at all.

Thanks for a great product.

Sincerely
Jim G
