Would the NAD M51 be an upgrade to EE Dac plus

Ok any comments on the NAD at all

Thanks

Lots of info on this Aussie forum where they compared the Nad to several well regarded dacs:

Thanks Hew

I have owned both. The M51 is better than the EE DAC Plus in every way. The M51 is simultaneously more relaxed and resolved -- effortless in its presentation, smooth, dynamic, and transparent. Is also stellar direct to amplifier.

For $2K list, it's a steal.

Are you using a stock EE DAC plus? If so, you may want to spend about $300 on some discrete opamps (Dexa or Burson) and some NOS tubes (Mullard, Amperex, etc..). To my ears these "mods" dramatically improved the sound for a rather modest investment. If you've done this and still don't like what you hear by all means look elsewhere.
