Cal Audio Alpha 24/96 upgrade?


I have a Cal Audio Alpha Dac, and I am wondering if it is worth having the 24/96 upgrade done. Is it worth the cost, ($450)? Will it make that big of a difference? Or is it money that should be saved for something else? by the way, I am using a Cal Audio Delta CD Transport.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Cal Icon, and have a/b it extensively with the Alpha/Delta combo. Very slight increase in low level resolution in the 24/96 alpha. Why spend $450 for an upgrade that is small when you could get an EVS Millenium II for $1050 and make substantial improvements and get true upsampling to 24/96
