I've been told that EVS (tweekaudio.com) makes a good dac, the Millenium, for a reasonable price. They also do an upgrade on the MSB Link that is supposed to be comparable to the Nelson upgrade, but for less money. I have no experience with any of these products yet. I'm still shopping, too.
MSB III vs. Soundstream DAC-1 by Krell
Got a Soundstream DAC-1 (the one Krell helped to design). Thinking about getting a MSB Link III. Thoughts? If this is a improvement how much of one? Vs. a upgraded MSB III (half nelson, etc)? Other Good DACs vs the price of a fully loaded MSB III (Half nelson, and unsampler) $850-+ Assembalge DACs?
