I would find any info on these high end DAC's useful. I have yet to find one that I think sounds better than the Boulder 2020. I'm sure that one may exist that would suit my tastes even more. I've had the EMM CDSA and the Meridian 808.1 in my system and they both sounded less detailed with less control over the bass. They seemed to try to create musicality by "blurring" the details to a degree. In my system, the only thing I think I lack is some "rosin on the bow" with strings. I imagine there may be a player out there that still provides all of the detail with 2% more "lushness". If someone is aware of what that would be, please share. Of note, I have heard the playback designs in a SET based system that I thought sounded fantastic, but a bit dark (but that would be splitting hairs).
