Berkeley vs Antelope anyone compared ?

Yes, the build quality definitely looks very iffy. For me though, the things that kills it is the wallwart power supply. I can't believe how they manage to sell something from $2700 and have such a cheap power supply. To me a quality power supply is on of the most important factors in a good audio component.

Just a few thoughts for this discussion:
1. Maybe the Zodiac Gold might be worth a listen.
2. I looked up the Antelope dealer list and none seemed to be audio dealers plus there are very few. Could be wrong here but none sounded familiar to me.
3. There is an optional separate power supply available but I don't know the price.
4. If one opts for the Gold version + power supply you're in a much higher buck range.

I agree with 6moons.
It is very good at upper frequency range and imaging is fantastic.
But bass is weak.
I think it is because of power supply.
With optional must be much better !
And interesting to listen Gold!

Welcome to "high end" audo. I have a USB converter that sold for over 1k that has a cheap wallwart power supply made in China.
