curious, last time I tried both I came down on the side of UAPP being more open clean and clear with Neutron being a bit warm and romantic, albeit with v20 internal. Yet just heard my buddies LG 7 q thin?? with Neut and it sounded great. May have to revisit the neut.

You can control the bit-perfectness and host OS resampling of either one, Neutron is just a lot easier to get confused because it has so many settings.

@bixby compared to UAPP Neutron is definitely on the "warm and romantic" side, but I think it's rather that UAPP is bright. Neutron sounds more like my PC does to me. Even then it's still a bit brighter than JRiver MC19 with the GO2A Inf.

@GoodEnoughGear that *might* be it, but I'm pretty sure I had all that switched off (and Follow Source Frequency, which the author in a forum post says should leave tracks entirely unmolested, switched on), yet 32 bits were apparently still being presented to the Dragonfly. I'll test more today.

@bixby @Serious it seemed the opposite to me, I think because the effect on dymamics and transients made it seem like UAPP's FR was tilted warmer. Maybe my particular chain...

From Neutron, UE900s (quad BA with an upper mid to lower treble hole) seems brighter, modded HFW A1 (single DD, more neutral) seems slightly warmer. I think increased dynamics & speed are responsible. Settings are such that both players should be passing data unaltered to the USB DAC. Hmm...
