Hello,
I just compared the trivista21 with a.a. prima dac (latest version)...
both are very good. both are very smooth & neither has
the nasty digital sound that many cd players have. neither are sharp. the aa is costlier and maybe worth the difference in price. the aa has more depth and is a bit more involving. unfortuantely, cable makes a difference
the $1200 aes/bu cable was significantly better than the $30 & $75 coax cable. however, sound on the cheaper cables
was enjoyable and had no unpleasantness. i used an accustic art tranport (excellent i think)...it is possible that you may have to
play around with transports/dac combinations (along with cable) to get rid of the nastiness you are experincing
