Conclusion
At the end of the day, audiophiles always ask the ultimate question. "Which is better?" For those demanding maximum spatial resolution in a continuous rather than fragmented soundstage (with discrete harmonic events of individual instruments), the Orpheus Labs Heritage DAC remains confidently at the pinnacle of these champions.


In comparison, localization of musical objects within the sound space over the VEKIAN is less exacting. Its timbres are richer and tonally warmer than the Heritage but the latter has the ability to delineate each string on a violin or cello to serve the excessively micro detail-oriented listener.


After serving me for four years, Yamada's Zanden 2000p/5000s combination still ranks as the top digital statement for live recordings. Perhaps it is due to the vast experience of Yamada-San participating in concert hall activities throughout his audio career but his live atmosphere is one of a kind and neither achieved by the Heritage nor the Vekian. The bass register of the Zanden 2000p/5000s combo (both in weight and dynamics) is on the timid side relative to the Heritage while the Vekian goes yet farther to be the bass champion of this grouping.

Naturally, any good system involves nearly too many intersecting parameters to readily predetermine the final outcome. The judgment of any reviewer is always clouded by a certain degree of subjectivity. I had not listened to CD for almost a year due to my growing interest in vinyl yet the VEKIAN DAC rekindled my interest in the digital format. Its polychromatic resolution power is what separates it from the competition to sound surprisingly close to vinyl especially on high-quality recordings (I dare not call myself a vinyl expert but I certainly do know what records sound like). The VEKIAN does everything right across the frequency domain and I remain floored by its superior abilities with all manner of playback material. In my humble opinion, the VEKIAN DAC by Stahl-Tec is a true breakthrough product in digital high-end converters.
