Chord 64 dac or Tube Tech 64 vs. kora hermes

Anyone heard either of the 64 bit dacs against the valve kora hermes dac? Im giving a last go to see if I can stay away from vinyl, and some people seem to be getting good results with these.
thanks.

It's a really sweet piece. I still have my Bel Canto DAC 1.1 to compare it to, but I prefer the Kora in soundstaging, warmth, and overall realism. The Hermes is a very smooth and alluring DAC. However, I think a better comparison would be with the new Bel Canto DAC2 which comes out any week now.

I thought I saw someone selling a new version with all the goodies for a little under $2000 on the 'Gon. You might want to take a look.
