Nice to see he's still making stuff! His site disappeared though, any ideas what's going on?

Having a blast with Qobuz streaming via SPDIF into the Soul. (A bit angry on Qobuz because I get pauses in some tracks, although I have the latest beta version from them for the FiiO M11)
Anyhow, Fostex massdrop TH-X00 ebony still my favorites. Had a fling with Nuraloops and Nuraphones, and while I have learnt something on the way, the Soul is just a true-full master. If you have the chance try it out.

I've been using the Soul daily for over a year now. It's proven reliable and sounds fantastic. Its transparency does full justice to the best modern high res recordings (especially classical music), and its crossfeed and tone controls have made some of my older and imperfectly recorded albums more enjoyable and musically engaging.

I occasionally listen to modern and electronic music which, sadly, are often poorly recorded with extreme dynamic compression. The Soul resolves these recordings quite well. I suspect it has something to do with the FF unloading the digital & analog stages, reducing the impact and distortion caused by recording flaws like intersample overs and clipping.

First off, I'm glad that the medication you're now taking is helping you. Thanks so much
for taking the time to write your review. It's a thorough and enjoyable read! May you continue
to feel better.
