Sabai,It was a pleasure for me too. Your speaker tweak sounds interesting. Just let me know when you will be in Singapore again. Cheers! J.

Sabai,Cool! I had a hunch but I wanted to draw you in with my post to see if I get a confirmation from you. Cheers! J.

Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I would agree with Sabai that the Berkeley Ref Dac is indeed the one to beat at its price point (the Trinity being at a much loftier price) and is in a different league altogether compared to the M1. But at about half the price of the Berkeley, th...

Very happy for you, FSmithjack.And if I am ever stricken with acute foot-in-mouth disease to say something silly like "The Bricasti separates the boys from the men", I know I will get some serious s@#* from all the diehard DS fans out there. And s...
