The Eversolo Z8 looks very lovely, and those measurements suggest it performs beautifully. And I'm utterly converted to trusting the measurements (so go have a look at the poor ones that the Chord gives for the money).
I think the best way to describe what the S9 does for me is to fall back on that old term "High Fidelity", meaning the most faithful reproduction of the recording possible. The S9 gets out of the way, masking nothing, and certainly not adding anything. It is the comparison between that and the way that the Google USB dongle, and even my "big system" DAC and Amp manage to hide some of the recording or worse still add "colouring" to the sound that has been the revelation. Plus it cost next to nothing. What a delight to live in these times.
