SOUND QUALITY:

The La Scala DAC showcases its expertise by delivering an exceptional tonality that effortlessly captures the essence of the source materials. It effortlessly creates a clear distinction in the timbre, allowing the listener to fully immerse themselves in the music. With its impressive soundstage depth and width, it excels in extracting intricate details and effortlessly handling complex content. Although it may not emphasize bass presentation as much as other DACs in my review, it compensates for it with its remarkable high-frequency performance. The result is a captivating and immersive soundstage that is enriched with reverberation.
