Linn majik ds + mark levinson 360 vs akurate ds


Greetngs...

I think I have seem several thread silimar to this one.. But I can't seem to find the one with the dac i own..

I have compelete Mark Levinson system with 23.5 + 26s + 360, and this is because I love the sonic quality and characteristics that mark levinson combination offer.

Like many of you most of my sources are now stored in files, and I am planning to get a Linn ds.

I have narrowed down my options to majik and akurate, (not ds1). It seems i cannot use my ml360 if i go with akurate, and as we know the price difference is quite big...

Majik and Akurate both have built in dac, and I am guessing the big price comes from the quality of this built in dac. Just by looking at the transport ability.. would there be a big difference?

I would be very confident with my choice of majik + 360, if I can have assurance that their digital processing mechanism is indifferent.

It would be great to hear some opinions from the linn experts.

Thank you..

Thank you all for your inputsm I am sorta in difficult position to do the audition for comparison. You said the sound is different... could you please elaborate a little more.. I know how ML sounds.. but never had experiences with Linn. Thx
Thank you Larry.. exact answer i was looking for.. i have tried different sort of transports for digital streaming from normal pc to alix, squeezebox, denon, marantz, cambridge.. and I came to a understanding that although dac is the important factor for sound quality, the digital processing section is equaly important for streamers as well.
