MSB Platinum DAC

If you're looking at spending that much you should really look at the Perpetual Technologies P1A/P3A combination which offers true interpolation to 24 bits in addition to upsampling. In the near future the P1A will also offer room correction which will make a huge difference in getting the best out of your system in your room.

Another option would be the new EVS Millennium DAC II(www.tweakaudio.com). In fact, my ultimate combo would be the P1A running into the DAC II which should lay waste to just about everything out there and would cost a total of $2k for both units. By the way, the DAC II will be upgradeable to the new SACD/DVD-A formats in 2-channel.

Best of luck.

p1s1 reminded me, there is a $300 ModWright upgrade offered to the P3A that is supposed to bring it to an even higher level of performance, and Ric Schultz at EVS is also said to be working on a mod for it, so there seems to be significant upside potential--just FYI.

Also, p1s1, I was curious about your Sigtech room correction system. I've been looking at TacT and have been very impressed, but I don't know anything about Sigtech but have heard good things. Any thoughts on Sigtech vs. TacT or where I can get more info on Sigtech products/technology? How does the Sigtech work in your system? Sorry for taking up space here but I didn't have access to your email. You can email me at [email protected] if you'd rather. Thanks.
