I have the Nixon USB tube DAC and an Apollo. I got the Nixon back in spring, and the apollo around thanksgiving. I love the Nixon. I think it's an incredible little unit and it's my new 'reference' piece. I recommend it to so many people i am starting to think i'm a shill for the man. It's the center of my system.But I must say that the Apollo kicks the Nixon's butt, hands down. The Nixon sounds flat and lifeless by comparison. I want to upgrade the power supply and try some tube rolling, but I don't think it will get the nixon close.
On the other hand, if i had to choose one or the other, i think i would take the Nixon. Because computer based audio is the future, there's more flexibility, and it makes internet radio sound damn good.
