Ianb52 Have you listened to the Bartok in a system or any of the DCS components ? ...I think your wishing your PS Audio , King or MZ3 or even some other combination would equal or beat the DCS , the Bartok is in totally different level of performance over the PS Audio dac including many other middle of the road components like this. It has little to do with the price differences over other one box much more affordable components and or combinations of like your thoughts.
As you must be well aware $20,000.00 for the Bartok is a pretty big step from your current components , the Bartok being a single box solution you should have not purchased the Innuos streamer /server
Something else to consider with a purchase of a component like the Bartok are other components plugged into it should be of equal sonic merit and most importantly a choice library of much as you can well recorded uncompressed music .
Finally you may also consider a Innuos Phoenix to pair with your sone to arrive Innuos Zenith, that single component add on will definitely give a boost in performance with your current components.
