I owned a Dodson Dac with my original Audiomeca Mephisto transport and I felt that the Dodson had a great sound stage and good bottom/midrange, but occasionally the highs were "in my face"... I now have a newer Audiomeca transport and Dac and feel that it is a very slightly better combination. I think I lost a little in the soundstage and in transcient response (very slight change), but the high end is smooth and easy to listen to for hours.
