Beautiful, solid design, Exceptional isolation from USB noise, Can tune headphone output impedance,
Inconsistent RCA noise levels, No fixed line output level setting,

Superb sound: open, clear, neutral, Dual-mono, pure Class A, fully balanced amplification, Top-notch build quality, Can serve as a standalone DAC with balanced and unbalanced outputs

Ideaal huwelijk met Focal-koptelefoons, Vermogen op overschot, Sober design, hoofdtelefoonbeugel is slim, Muzikaal DAC-luik, Hybrid & Voltage-modi
Geen crossfeed-functie, Hogere prijsklasse, Wordt lekker warm
Voor liefhebbers van Focal-hoofdtelefoons is de minimalistisch opgevatte Arche een evidente keuze. De DAC/versterker is echt op de maat van de Elear en co ontworpen, en de match is uitstekend. Dat is een belangrijke plus, want de premium Focal-hoofdtelefo...
