Thanks for the input. I’ll stick with the Minimax.

By “glare”, I mean treble harshness. I’ve buffered it with an iFi iTube, and along with a Mullard NOS tube in the output stage it’s not too bad, but it’s still pretty bright.

After doing some research, I may sell the Minimax and go with a new Audio GD or a new/used MHDT Labs DAC. Which A-GD DAC are you rockin?

I use a battery to supply the Digione with power. I think it works pretty well…plus I don’t have to fiddle with the micro USB everytime I shut down the Digione…

I also connected an audio GD NFB-1 2015 with the Sabre ES9018 directly to i2s input from the kali reclocker, and that sounds perfect in my opinion, I also use the allo isolator.
I also use two pairs of good linear power supplies.
I do not experience any harshness in my system.

for this I had a denon da-300usb / rotel ra-12 apmpiler with dac / Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 and last but not least the normal cambridge dacMagic, and I think the audio gd NFB-1 2015 with the sabre es9018 sound better.
