Getting both at the same time requires different hardware (starting from the power module), therefore – by the way – higher budgets. Cutting it with an hatchet, but not going far from reality, experience tells us that you “either” get good imaging with limited resolution, “or” a shaper accent on details but a fuzzier imaging, and fatigue on the midterm. On such regards it must honestly be kept in mind that miracles not being allowed, limited resources imply compromises.

On the flip side V6 is not the most resolving or microdynamical source you can get for the money – although quite likely the best one in form of a standalone DAP. As a consequence V6 pairs best with bright / analythical drives. It transmits a sense of silkyness – notes are well defined yet rounded. The general device timbre, furthermore, is pleasant. Extension is more than acceptable, and there is no significant sign of shoutyness or other “overdoings” from the 3KHz up. Imaging (microdynamics) in particular is very nice. SoundFirst a foremost, when judged vs its reference price V6 sounds good. I’ll of course fill the pros&cons table, and I will add personal notes and considerations that might – hopefully – add something new to the reader’s benefit. I thank them for that.Īs per our standard in such cases I’ll keep my piece a bit less descriptive as most of the general product information is already well covered by the original article.

Following Jürgen’s recent review of Tempotec V6, the Dongguan-based manufacturer sent me a sample unit of their TOTL DAP to obtain a second opinion / review.
