Hi all,
A Tangara finally arrived (to a very windy UK) and I'm honestly blown away (ha) by how much I like it.
The sound output is awesome. Music I've listened to many times before using the same headphones (a cheap pair of Superlux HD681 which are a Samson SR850 ish clone) has never sounded so good. I'm hearing things within music I never noticed before.
Unlike other players I've tried, trust me it has to be at least about 30+ by now, Tra is the first to not make me wince & pull my headphones off quickly due to a harsh sound, an unexpected volume fluctuation, or playback issue (think loud pops & glitches). Yes I have very sensitive ears and hearing; IEMs are a no go for me . The DAC in the Tra is fantastic, voices are clear and not muffed, bass is actually enjoyable for me again too.
It's hard to describe, most other players sounded and felt like they sliced the music up & whatever DAC used often overcompensated, overproccessed or mangled parts of the output, sections were badly decoded or harsh/sharp sounding & voices separate from the music. Tangara doesn't have any of these issues to my ears.
---
My only request is; would it be possible to have a font size option please? It's currently just a little too small for my eyes in parts.
Oh and I have some OPUS music that won't play. I'm not sure I'm allowed to attach it here or not.
Thanks,
