"The MA3i handled the intricate, polyrhythmic drumming with equal mastery, capturing the thump and weight of the kick drums, the dry snap of hand percussion, and the rolling thunder of congas with exceptional clarity. The DAC’s low-end control is outstanding. There’s heft and drive, but never any bloat, allowing the rhythm section to remain tight and punchy even in the densest passages. The soundstage is expansive and immersive, placing each instrument with precision, while the midrange flows effortlessly, connecting the harmonic richness of horns, piano, and voice. It’s not just about technical detail; it’s about emotional truth."
