From Part Time Audiophile:

The natural presentation offered by the Exogal Comet was the perfect means of presenting the music on “Opening.” Detail retrieval was superb, and the DAC seemed to emphasize, in a very good way, the size and character of the recording venue, a studio set up as a small public hall for recording live events with limited audience. I could easily pick up the natural reverb of the studio, as well as the stunning shifts in dynamic of the drum kit, especially in a cut such as “Boy Cow.” And if you don’t get just a bit sentimental listening to Landaeus’ lilting rendering of “What A Wonderful World,” then you have no humanity in you whatsoever. In short, I remain somewhat in awe of the beauty and life-like sound of this recording as presented by the Comet.

All in all, there’s something of a correctness of tone to the Comet that just plain gets the notes right. I can’t exactly put my finger on this quality specifically, but I know it when I hear it, as it gets me that tiny bit closer to the actual musical event portrayed in the recording. Same goes for the low level resolving power of the DAC. It’s there, but it doesn’t exactly call a lot of attention to itself, as it does in many other DACs that ultimately emphasize the resolution and detail thing. In contrast, the Exogal DAC seems to do do resolution in a manner similar to well-played vinyl: it’s there, but it doesn’t scream out at you. It’s just a natural part of the musical texture that’s perfectly integrated into the listening experience as a whole. OK, I’m getting a tad holistic here, I know, but I just don’t know how to better describe what I’m hearing. In fact, maybe that’s the best way to concisely shed light on the Comet. It’s got a holistic way of portraying the musical event as a tightly woven tapestry of sound where you can’t make out the individual stitches (why would you want to anyway?) but rather take in a beautifully integrated, yet mightily detailed, sonic picture.

These qualities made listening to my classical/chamber/orchestral collection a real joy. I found myself digging out chestnuts I hadn’t heard or enjoyed in a very long time. One example is the lovely ECM recording of Arvo Part’s works, which includes such iconic pieces as “Fratres”, “Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten”, and “Tabula Rasa”. I’d digitally archived this fine record (LP, ECM 1275) a few years ago, but probably haven’t listened to it in two or three years. Thanks to the Exogal Comet, I’ve now found it again, in the form of a well-executed needle drop. I don’t even recall what turntable/cartridge combo I used when I made the recording, but it sure is nice.
