Last evening I listened at a old friend's home system
His entire system a compilation of preferred gear and custom speakers.
It is the best SQ I have ever heard.
His DAC?
A Berkeley. Probably not the latest model either.
Comments on the Berkeley Alpha DAC 2
I have been playing my newly acquired Berkeley DAC 2 and it sounds amazing in many aspects.
Great staging and layering and super dynamics as well.
One aspect I am not a fan of (yet) is the potent upper mids and highs. Now, this could be my room, or it could be the fact that the DAC has not been in use for months on end, and it has not "warmed" up properly. Not sure yet...maybe the filter selection is incorrect.
Any users out there that can provide me with their insight?
Cheers,
Paul
