Once you hear this Dac, name brand Dacs on all levels become a thing of the past.
I heard/owned and compared top line Lampy, Yggdrasil, Wadia, EMM, Audio Note 5, Auralic, Berkeley, Bricasti and highly modded Museatex Bidat in my friends systems and my own, none of these came close.
There is an audition option, so you can hear before you buy, that's what I did.
