Bryston BDA-1 se dac

This must be the signature modded dac, not the stock dac with the "se" designation. So a logical question is the modded dac worth the extra 500 dollars or so? Anyone heard the dac pre- and post-mods.

Based on what I have read and the feedback from end users, the Berkely dac does not appear to merit its several thousand dollars in extra cost though it seems to be a fine dac for many.....

Thanks so much for the additional responses. I will not be using the USB port (which I hear is not so hot). I am going to hook it to a music server. Probably the Music Vault Diamond although the QSonic server seems enticing given the big screen, ease of use, and ability to do 24-192.

I am big into modding my equipment, however, I think I will stick with the stock Bryston unit unless my ears tell me otherwise.....
