And who told you the Venus is colored? You can keep your very neutral flat line DAC and listen to your "pre-colored" music all day long man. So if i want some "coloration" on a DAC, so be it. You have never heard anything "neutral" in your life. By the time it got on a cd or a record or your tape, it was pre-colored exactly how the mastering engineer wanted it. #1) Name one single piece of music you ever heard in your life on a stereo system that wasn't colored to begin with.

Hence, i thought i'd post here in hopes of a solution.Ĭlick to expand.I want coloration in a DAC? and you like neutral dacs? The minidsp forum appears to mostly have minidsp fanbois who froth at the mouth if anyone has a legitimate issue with their beloved minidsp. Is there anyone who's more experienced with the minidsp SHD who can chime in? Is there something basic i'm missing about this minidsp ecosystem? How do i rectify this? I have not yet figured out a way around this. However, i'm using the digital out into the Denafrips Venus for my 2 main speakers since the minidsp SHD's built in DAC sounds like a mthrtrckin ballsac, as i mentioned above.īut, the usage of this external DAC introduces a significant delay (speakers vs subs). For the subs, it is good enough and DIRAC is helping to a slight extent. I am using 2 of its analog outs to bass manage my 2 subs. I notice that the DAC in it sounds like a awful mthrtrckin ballsac (I am a bit spoilt by a Denafrips Venus DAC). I bought this unit and have been tinkering with it for 4 days on a 2.2 system for music. How many of ya have experience with a minidsp SHD? This is the unit i am referring to.
