June 20, 201313 yr comment_583825 As DAC with such an easy analogue output may sound better than heavy class A? Most audiophiles equate "build quality" with physical heft/weight (and pretty circuit boards with nice symmetrically-laid out components). Many discrete I/V and/or output stages are nothing more than discrete op-amps anyway. Just because it is discrete doesn't mean it will perform and sound better. Looks and feels impressive though...

June 20, 201313 yr comment_583868 Bought try Berkeley Alpha Series 2 Do not understand. In my Spectral SDR-2000 analog output in the class A on transistors, and in Berkeley on the OPA. What is the world coming audio? Spectral weight 52 lbs Berkeley Alpha weight 9 lbs. What's the catch? As DAC with such an easy analogue output may sound better than heavy class A? Soon get Berkeley and compare personally Listening to the Spectral SDR-2000 and Berkeley Alpha Series 2 In direct comparison to be clear. Waiting Berkeley What could be more clear? Nothing. The answer is nothing. Report

June 20, 201313 yr comment_583896 I don't know what's wrong with you people, I understand him perfectly. He is awaiting arrival of the Berkeley Audio Design DAC, and he's going to do a direct comparison. KnyazHM, please post both the original Russian and your translations from now on, so if there's any confusion, we can go back to the original text. Report
June 21, 201313 yr comment_583942 Yes, thank you for your understanding. Berkeley already sent soon to compare. Report

June 21, 201313 yr comment_584004 Спасибо за понимание и советы! Как получу Berkeley, сразу сравню со Spectral Report
June 21, 201313 yr comment_584027 Lol I actually wouldn't mind reading the comparison too much. Well... depends how long it is. Report
June 22, 201313 yr comment_584252 Думаю какой ЦАП еще попробовать. Что будет лучше? I think what DAC still try. That would be better? Report
June 23, 201313 yr comment_584383 DIY Сделать его сами Only then will you know that it's the best that it can be. Только тогда вы будете знать, что это сильный как медведь. Report

Thank you for making my day and leaving me with syrupy fizz bubbles all up in my nostrils... I'm still wiping my screen. Report
