I'm in the same boat as Orjazzm. I like the Nixon USB dac very much, but now that I have a taste of what is possible, I wonder how much better things get with the Brick and then the Cosecant (or alternatively, other USB options and higher end universal CD players). Please describe in as much detail as you can the differences between the Brick and the SN. If the systems you listened to aren't comparable, how are you sure the Brick is so much better than the SN?
