dCS Rossini vs. Berkeley Reference dac 2

I too made the decision to  go with Vivaldi v2.02 DAC, with Network Bridge, and full loom of Transparent Gen 5 ref digital and analog, and speaker cables, with Roon Nucleus + and dedicated NAS, thru a Veloce battery powered tube pre, since its used in combo 2 channel/HT rig, requires a pre...also use Shuynata Triton 3 for power conditioning with its Sigma power cord...best sounding digital I've heard, auditioned the Aurender and Berkeley, also at Shadi's place in Santa Monica, found it easier dealing with Brian at Audio Elements in Pasadena. Love listening now, off the chase of gear.
Not to throw a wrinkle, but I've also had a very positive improvement by adding the eMats under my Roon, Dac, pre, and amp..very reasonable tweak for quality improvement.

dCS settings can be very confusing and complex....especially when using dual AES to get hi res from NB and DSD. My dealer has been great for the few times I've managed to screw things up, often a simple phone call with instructions has me back listening again. I just started streaming Tidal, but I am also waiting to have the Vivaldi decode MQA, since the NB already is compatible....strange that the Rossini has this feature for almost one year now...
Brian and SP of Audio Element  worked hard at my room, re-configuring my snake pit of cables behind the rig, helped to reduce my ground loop, and overall helped with speaker set up, toe in, etc, even though I only bought a modest amount of gear from him...he has great ears, and is a great person to work with....
