Indeed. At the other end of the scale, 25 is also the latest for the Kiko.

When Davaar 25 came out, I found it was an improvement on 23 and nearly as good as 19. But with space activated it was much better than 19.

I also prefer listening to radio via MinimStreamer with transcoding.

I have always been intrigued by the discussion of the SQ of different Davaar versions; I haven't noticed much if any change with my setup. But both transcoding and SPACE optimisation gave me noticeable improvements.
