Mitski sounds lush and organic in her Be The Cowboy album, as long as we avoid the grunged-up effects on tracks like Why Didn’t You Stop Me? and Blue Light. Two Slow Dancers brought her into my living room and its correct tonality made things all more believable. It was the same with Run Your Finger Through My Hair by Blues Company. This invitation to the blues cannot be declined as I found myself listening to the Ares into wee hours.THE LAST WORDThe Ares is a worthy competitor to other DACs regardless of their architecture, and has been a staple for people who want to venture into R2R territory.If you’re looking to upgrade from your entry-level DAC, you should definitely give the Ares a try. Its effortless presentation and expansive soundstage, especially at this price point, makes choosing it a no-brainer.
