Accustic Arts Tube Dac II or Berkley Alpha DAC


Two different approaches. Would be interested in opinions. I currently have a Tube DAC II but it doesn't support hi rez like the Alpha Dac. Considering a change.

Glory: I just compared my very old Museatex DCC-1 to the Weiss Minerva and I can personally tell you not only did it fair well, it sounded better to these ears. More musical and more of the overall gestalt of the emotional content was present. I did play 2 hi-res files an HRX 176.4khz piece and a 96/24 file of lush life. Still the Museatex sounded better playing the redbook version of the 96/24 song. Did not have a low res version of the 176/24 file but it too lacked emotion.

It is worth mentioning that the DCC-1 can't touch the Bidat in terms of sound.

I think people are going to learn that high resolution is no Panacea for digital. I have another link on hear detailing the comparison.
