More Class-A than ever!
(Just to prefix, this isn't a digital bashing thread, I don't want to start arguments)
So I've noticed this with many configs, different amps, DAC's and speakers that most of my Digital audio from my PC, FLAC, WMA and MP3 sounds very harsh and bright and kinda lacking bass.
I've tried three different DACs so far, A Muse USB DAC based on the PCM2704 DAC chip, my computers onboard DAC and a Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS I always seem to get this strange harshness that leaves me with ringing ears.
I was wondering if anyone has any clue as to what could be causing it, I do keep my PC's output at 100% so could I be overloading my amplifiers input?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. (Pun totally intended.)
