If these specs aren't convincing, I don't know what is: Quad ESS Sabre DACs, up to PCM 24/192 and DS 256, different digital filters, MQA, Tidal, Qobuz, dedicated headphone jack, up to 2TB microSD for music storage, and even a built-in equalizer for ageing, hearing-impaired, Etymotic ER4 users like me. The great speaker is icing on the cake. By the way, I haven't listened to any of them.
