RE: Other than jitter and bitperfect?

I'm not looking for the best, just an evaluation of how close it gets you with some mods! I don't believe in spending 1,000s on my music system (never mind regulators or XOs) - but I believe that it's possible to get a good way there with a limited budget, especially now that some decent sounding & decently priced alternatives are appearing like the Musiland, M2Tech & Squeezebox touch. Of course it does require some time input & some DIY skills but that in itself is part of the enjoyment, for me anyway.

Just trying to evaluate what bang for the buck there is available & if it's within 10% of the audiophile reference, as you see it! So how far off the dCS are these units 10%, 20%?

Look forward to your opinion on the M2tech HiFace

PS. can you not register on the site - if you speak chinese I would have thought that it should be easy - I couldn't do it as I believe it was asking for chinese characters to be input to verify that I was a carbon-based life form. I got coolfungadget a seller on Headfi to register me.
