I do and the device does work as indicated. I also have experience with the ASI line of resonators as well. 
Spectral DMA 260 Amp vs. BAT VK 600 SE
The Bat is a terrific amplifier, I would look at your cables, power conditioning, room tuning etc.You may want to check out a good preamplifier, most dac's driving an amplifier directly don't actually sound as good.

Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M
I wouldn't match Sonus with Mac, there are much better electronics other than Mac and if you go with the SF you want more neutral electronics. 
Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M
hifivn, what do you have against Paradigm?You quote a review from 2009 on a completely different model!The Signature uses a state of the art Beryllium tweeter, JM Labs, Usher, TAD, Magico and several other top speaker manufacturers use Beryllium b...

Sub wolfer advice

Hegel HD20 DAC-Has anyone heard it?
It is a very good dac and competitive with many good dacs, I heard it and it outperformed the Bryston Dac. I did not hear it as a preamp, just as a dac. The Hegel throws a big sound stage and is quite warm and involving. If you need the preamp fun...
