“From a build quality standpoint, this is built as well as anything I’ve ever seen. It is really well engineered and very precise. It is well executed.”
“I does use that AKM AK4493 SEQ Velvetsound chip, which I truly love. It has its own character. It’s warm and very detailed. The circuitry inside the Diamond doesn’t get in the way of the sound of that chip.”
Sound:
“Clean, pure, unadulterated – absolutely wonderful!”
“Because of the VOLTAiR technology, this thing delivers bass like – oh my goodness. It is beautiful, it is deep, nuanced ans has great texture.”
“Super deep bass, a great signal going out to all the accompanying equipment, great pace – it just feels so dynamic. This will just give you whatever is in the recording is what you’re going to get out.”
“Mid-range was wonderful. Female vocals sound absolutely gorgeous.”
“It just reproduced the piano beautifully. Transients were so dynamic and the decays were beautifully executed. Crisp and clean.”
Conclusion:
“This thing just digs deep and it gives an absolute marvelous signal to the next piece of equipment in the chain.”
“Rock solid center image, great width of image. Great layering, great depth, great detail. I just felt like I could see into the sound stage.”
