Considering Nagra Tube Dac with Power Supply or MSB Reference ?

Does anyone have any experience with the Nagra Classic Tube Dac and the Power Supply or MSB Reference Dac?

I demoed the MSB Reference Dac in home and loved it and have also heard good things about the Nagra. Looking for feedback if anyone has experience with both. 

Key Components in system are Audio Research Ref6SE preamp and Ref160S amplifier.  All cabling is Transparent Reference.  Speakers are Wilson Alexia with 2 S812 REL subs.

He will be advised about the 20 other brands that are "better" per people

who own them.

Get them both in your house with your system and then decide.

If this can be arranged, then unquestionably it’s the best evaluation method. With regard to WBF , he’s more likely to get replies from those familiar with the components of interest. They are pretty good at staying on point in my experience on that site.

Certainly there will be respect for his decision as an adult to spend his money as he sees fit. Rather than the tired and stale references to the cost of a given audio product and questioning one’s judgment for expenditure.
