I had both - running with the Nuvista CD and B & W 803d's. The Nuvista was better as the Trivista was a little harsh. I always had MF for years...until I heard Chord and then I sold them. The Chord Blu/Dac and Chord 3000 pre / 1200C power together with B & W 802d are truly awesome. Im selling my Chord CPA 2200 pre...
