Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat


I've emailed John Wright asking exactly how big a jump in performance there was between the Bitstream and Bidat. He mentioned that when both fully modded they sound different from each other and neither was better then the other. The bitstream being more musical overall, while the Bidat picked up more inner detail. Anybody compared for themselves?

Upgraded A/D/S Idat/M by John Wright, powered by battery, beats both Bidat and Bitstream! When I bought this DAC from John Wright few years ago, John told me this DAC will sweep all the DAC off the planet, and will make me wonder what the fuss about SACD.
Vhiner,

Yes, those are very rare! Few years ago, I saw one was for sale on ebay, I did not know what the a/d/s idat was, so I emailed John, John told me that was the dac I should get, and send her to him for upgrade. John said that the design of the circuit board is better than better than other models, and can be modified to run on battery. But I did not win the auction, I emailed John, told him that I did not win the auction, John told me that he has one, if I am interested in that, he can sell that to me, I said: Suer. That's how I get mine, and I'm so happy with this baby ever since, and have no desire to buy another newer one to replace her, end of the story. John just told me he can instal a NBC connector on this dac, I will send it in for that update.
