| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Yes, a big part of the BoM is the chassis and power supply. No need to throw those away for software and minor hardware changes. Many are going modular now and the hand built guys always could rip out and replace the innards as things advanced. | |

| Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator The Atlantic is the most linear sounding Lampi, but the GG can be tailored to whatever you need by changing the recti and output tubes in combination. You can even use a SS 5v recti with pinouts in a Lampi!! | |
| Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator The big 6 is a fundamentally different technology to the Atlantic and 7 series.The Big 6 was a NOS multibit chip using small dual triode output tubes.The 7 series and the Atlantic both use discrete R2R ladders for PCM and discrete "chipless" archi... | |
