Blue Circle Thingee: A review in stages with photos
First Impressions:
As a stand alone DAC.... it works as one, that's all.
For it's intended purpose, as USB interface, I love it ! There is no difference in sound between its coax and optical outputs and it sounds great. But what I really mean is that the Constantine-Thingee combination sounds great. The more I listen to it, the more I realize how much improvement it has made to the Constantine. Very smooth treble and mids, no sibilance, good sound-stage, very crisp bass.... lol, looks bad, sounds good! Very good.
Whether this sounds any better than a $79 Transit would, I don't know, but I'd like to think so. Maybe I'll see someone at a meet with a transit and I'll find out.
I wouldn't mind comparing it to the Trends UD10 with battery pack either.
