Polish magazine Hi-Fi i Muzyka gives Cary Audio DMS-700 a Distinction award for 2023. That’s what the magazine editors have to say:
Combining a streaming network player with a DAC Cary Audio DMS-700 offers quite a few hi-tech features alongside solid audio engineering. The main distinctive feature is its DAC chip which is used in ‘multibit’ R2-R mode. A switched resistor network with current output is responsible for D-to-A conversion. Technical performance and engineering is top notch here. Colour display and phone app provides easy functionality or one can use Roon for control and music info.
Musically the unit is ready for diverse repertoire and its sonic neutrality allows a wide choice of amplifiers. We though would like to hint that Cary Audio’s own tube amp, SLI-80HS, Hi-Fi i Muzyka‘s Product Of The Year, is a good match and the resulting system would be champion-like.
