I have to agree with Scar972 the iRoc DAC-41 is both incredibly detailed and at the same time astonishingly musical. I own a Tranquility SE, and it is very, very good. The DAC-41 takes things to a whole new and very pleasing level. It's a little more than $1K right now, but that premium is very much worth it. Please do not read me as disrespecting the remarkable qualities of the Tranquility or the Tranquility SE; it's just that the DAC-41 is something else, particularly in its ability to layer the inward qualities of the music. I've discovered things, such as harmonies and patterns in the relationships of instruments and performers in compositions I have lived with for decades and have just discovered them through the DAC-41.
Just my experience,
