Berkeley Alpha DAC vs Theta Gen VIII and stuff...

any other suggestions on how to improve? i will be forced to flip a coin.

one more option would be the modwright transporter, also straight to the amp. anyone compare the mwt with the alpha dac or gen viii? do any of you guys use your mwtransporters straight to your amplifiers?

I'm not sure why this thread got posted twice.I am also considering a Krell KCT. 
Krell primer?
for cables i use older mit comparable to the oracle line today. speaker cables are mit mh850 and interconnects are mit 350 proline reference. both can be had for pennies on the used market compared to their original value (and performance). i find...
