Jeff Rowland Aeris and Playback Designs MPD-3

Just curious if anyone has heard both of these and their impressions of the difference. I am interested in picking up a standalone DAC and seriously considering between these two.

Heard the Aeris DAC recently and was impressed. Very warm and holographic sound, and would not have initially guessed it was a USB feed from from a Macbook.

I have never heard the MPD-3, but I have previously borrowed the flagship MPS-5 and quite enjoyed that as well.

Anyone heard both able to offer any thoughts?

Ghasley,

Thank you for sharing info on the Playback Designs MPD 3
When did it start shipping and what is the current price?

Currently I am using the ExaDevice's ExaU2I and their lo-Tech DSDDIFF player mated with Korg Audiogate for 1 bit/5.6448mhz DSD playback; a stable DIY solution.

It's great to see other product options emerging for DSD playback.
