In my opinion, putting more money on bright and veiled sounding DCS DAC or CDP is a bad investment. They all sound bright, veiled and glare with more money or not. The difference is small behind the veil/glare anyway?
Listen to DCSs
I like my Wavetouch modded Oppo BDP-95's sound better at the fraction of DCS prices.
Original music for reference.
