Lucky for me the dealer took the Bryston DAC back.
I struggled for a few weeks thinking I spent $30,000* for NOTHING (if the new "A" rated both Stereophile and TAS.. Was only as good as muy old DAc then WTF did I waste all that money on?
Well when the Bryston Phono box BP 1.5 arrived (it had to be made) I cried. It was so beautiful.
So I learned the whole DAC business is pretty iffy anyway.
And there is not a chance in Hell I would spend any money on another DAC again. (I learned my lesson)
My CD sounds great with my little used $250 Adcom DA700 modded with stuffing of antistatic foam per Stereophile guy from EU, Wayyyyy long ago... And using a VAC Standard as a fancy tube buffer. Glorious.*I bought Magnepan 3.6 Bryston 4B-SST², Bryston BP 26 BP 1.5 Rega P5 plus some tother stuff..
