This review of the SW1X DAC III Balanced serves to confirm the message I have been trying to convey that SW1X products separately and in the aggregate represent the kind of game changer that only comes around very rarely. Matej Isak has done a superb job of not only laying out the rationale behind Slawa Roschkow's creation but the overall effect, an effect that will require some serious recalibration of listening and thinking about what is possible and what really matters in hi fi reproduction. Matej is speaking of the DAC only, but I can attest that whoever chooses to climb this mountain with one component will realize that the potential for further Himilayan vistas is possible with his phono stages and preamplifiers, and I daresy the amplifiers as well, though I have not yet had the privledge to hear those. If it is music you value, these are serious machines that deliver!
