CAL Audio Alpha DAC

Thanks for the input, Dan. You are right, though, that the question is about the "sonics". CAL claims the upgrade enhances standard CD playback and surely they wouldn't fudge the truth. My curiousity is about others' experience with this upgrade and if it made a positive change in their system. More importantly, given its cost, does it make sense to get the upgrade or would waiting for the format wars to pan out make more sense?

Thanks for the lead, Lihifiguy. Hadn't thought to look there. Most interesting thing was the complete lack of any negative comments about this upgrade. People are generally more apt to post complaints than compliments, so that says a lot about the improvement it brings. Looks like another item is going to be added to the wish list.
