"I prefer more forward vocals and a wide soundstage."?

To my ears and most other peoples reviews, the XS have quite a large soundstage.

As far as driving it, my Asgard 3 on low gain with the knob at 9 o'clock is more then enough, depending on the recording.

Have you used the DAC version of this? The DAC in the BlueSound Node is OK, but I'm wondering if this one is better. This looks like a nice piece.

No, I ordered my amp minus the DAC. I heard mixed reviews on the internal DAC and wanted the flexibility of having a separate unit. I ended up with the Topping E30II, so far no complaints.
