Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
Ok, so my Bidat showed up today the very latest mod from John Wright. With only about 30 minutes on the clock I will say that I find it a bit more musical than the MSB. It was wierd it was like it clicked when the components inside started heating... 
AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs
Enzo618 and Essentialaudio: I agree that reviews are but one tool in the tool-box. I typically will find reviews by a reviewer of a product which I have heard and know to be poor sounding (to my ears) in order to get a baseline of their tastes. Al... 
Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
Vhiner, thanks for the update. I will let you know what I hear, as I stated I sold one of my Bidat with the older mods, and I will comment on the new unit soon. 
Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
Vhiner, I am waiting to hear you results. I sold one of my Bidat unit and the other is on the way to me as I type with the very latest mods from John. This is the one that I will be comparing to my MSB from my other thread. 
Wadia-9 Recap
Not a bad idea at all after over a decade of use. I strongly suggest you send it to Steve at GNSC.

Hey Vance, stand by on the Bidat full on comparison. It took me so long to get the MSB singing I want to do justice to that head to head comparison. 
Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?
The MSB stuffis fantastic, BUT it took me a long time to extract the best out of it. It is very picky about vibration contro and the source. I have the MSB Power Dac which is a Platinum Dac minus the upgrade path ability or user controls. The soun...

Thanks guys, the fact that anyone is interested in my findings makes it all worth while. I have never heard the Berkley so I cant comment on its sound. I would also like to know more about the Berkey converter, sounds very interesting. I have had ... 
USB DAC better than optical?
Number one thing (IMHO) make sure you never use a plastic TOS. Use a real-glass TOS if you are not already doing so. It's a MASSIVE change for the better. 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
Final word on the MSB, this has been the MOST difficult digital product I have ever judged.., whew!!!OK, on the right vibration control equipment (you must experiment) under and on top AND with the right interface feeding it...I now love it. I am ... 
Help: My newly upgraded AA Capitole gives no sound
I am with you guys on the warranty issue. I almost purchased a pre-owned XBrand CD Player some years ago that had just been sent to the factory for a checkup and was still under warranty. I called XBrand to confirm this and they did...but no warra...

Ok, just got and installed the latest HiFace driver for OSX 10.5.X and I am happy to report that it is 100% bit perfect (pops and ticks are gone!!!) and sounds FANTASTIC!!! It has edged out the built in Tos output (using real-glass Tos). I am very...

I did buy the HiFace with the BNC connector. I use bnc/rca adapters. I will await your modified hiface review before opting for this option. As a user of the batter powered Power Dac I can attest to little if any difference when operated on batter... 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
This from the Tweek Geek site. I started thinking about the fact that the HiFace has 2 precision clocks on board (2.5ppm) and the slight delay in the interface of iTunes when using the HiFace led me to believe it is in fact Async. This is what I f...

Vetnik: My bad I see you were directing you intensity at Earflapp.
