Herb Reichert ,Stereophile的评测员用泉对比了Aqua,并总结说:
I began with the HoloAudio Spring, which I doubt made Farrell's notes float as freely as Jason is accustomed to. Nevertheless, with Farrell singing "Ma dall' arido stelo divulsa," from Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera, the Spring did what it specializes in: it put a genuine female body behind that famous voice. No floating Farrell notes—just full-spectrum harmonics emitted through an enormous stereoscopic space. The Spring delivered nothing but clean air between Farrell, her microphone, and me.
The Aqua Formula xHD's reproduction of this track seemed smooth and well sorted, but also thicker and more ponderous than the Spring's, whose light-filled clarity put Farrell and her tenor, Verdi specialist Richard Tucker, into a semi-believable, three-dimensional space I could peer into. The relative opacity of the Formula xHD limited these effects.
Aqua Acoustic Quality's Formula xHD D/A processor sounded as smooth and warm and enjoyable as Jason and Mr. O suggested, but I don't regard it as a pleasure machine, nor do I see it as a cure for systems that sound too bright. In my system, the Formula xHD was simply too opaque for a perfectionist DAC of any price. My head is shaking in disbelief.—Herb Reichert
