Well, I'm about a month into listening with the Komputer (feeding a GG HeadDAC). It took me a couple of weeks to get used to Daphile and to copy all my 6Tb of music files over and sort out some metadata tagging issues. But I'm there now.
Bottom line is...I love it! I think it is noticeably better than my Aurender W20, which I felt (and still think) is brilliant.
My only issue is that when I set PCM>DSD128 automatic conversion, DSD256 playback stutters. When I set PCM>DSD64 conversion, it doesn't. I know this seems impossible to explain. The PCM>DSD conversion obviously shouldn't affect DSD256 playback. I can't explain it, it seems impossible, but I can only tell you what I hear.
The good news is that it doesn't bother me. I set PCM>DSD to DSD64 and DSD256 is fine. Furthermore, my PCM files sound FANTASTIC played this way. In principle I believe in playing files natively, but I'm a lazy fellow, and also I think my GG excels at playing DSD. So I listen to my PCM files playing on PCM>DSD64 without having to switch my GG DAC to PCM and they sound wonderful!!
I am also very happy with the Daphile SW.
Go go Lampi!!
