DCS: Known for extreme transparency but lacks natural and musical qualities, resulting in a flat and boring sound.
Playback Dacs Offers exceptional value for both money and performance, stepping above the DCS's signature sound. Preferred over MSB for its impressive performance as a solid state DAC.
Lampizator: Provides a nice, colored sound appreciated by some but not favored by all.
Aries Cerat achieves a favorable balance between PD and Lampizator, presenting a well-rounded sound that is both pleasant and user-friendly. It stands out as my personal favorite, effortlessly handling complex music with finesse and agility.
For Tube Based DAC, For me Aries Cerat,
Solid State DAC, Playback Design
Overall after comparing both I prefered the Aries Cerat Kassandra over the Playback Design.
