Got the DA set up now too.
I found clocking the x8 off the Burl ADC improved the output from x8, but outputting to Burl DAC via SPDIF is a more significant improvement on DA for sure.
The midrange seems more vivid and focused on the Burl DAC than the Apollo, which is not a slag on Apollo, it's plenty good, and one should expect a dedicated DAC to outperform an all-purpose interface, and it did.
I set up both outputs to my Drawmer 2.1 so I could toggle back and forth, but the output on the Burl was so much hotter it was hard to AB directly.
I'm working on one specific track, and I'm not noticing any unwanted saturation, but my tracks are pretty warm/organic to begin with, and it may just take me a little more time to understand what is being imparted.
I'm also one click down on the output level, which may factor in.
I'm sure I'd love a Quantum Hedd even more but it's a couple grand more than what I paid to have the Burls, and at least for now, I'm thrilled.
FWIW, I do mostly folk, alt rock, alt country, and sometimes trip-hop type stuff... think Shawn Everett or Nigel Godrich type sonics (aspirationally).

Did you get the two DM boxes: AD and DA ?

Interesting,I find the aurora interesting but essentially it’s a multi channel hilo ? Pretty much. Maybe it measures a little worse due to more components on the board but Lynx are still the most transparent converters I’ve used. There’s no sheen like Prism, Dangerous, and Apogee. Just don’t clip it like a retard.
