I don't know about the "best DAC ever" but the Tranquility SE pretty much maximizes my needs and especially my wants. Before I tried the Tranquility, I had no idea what a well-engineered and manufactured DAC could accomplish. And I was very skeptical of the claims made for the Tranquility. Now I see why the early adopters were ravers!
I have it setup with a 2010 MacMini (8GB ram) and Pure Music with a 1TB Oyen MiniPro firewire HD to store the files and RSAD Alethias USB from the Mini to the Tranquility SE.
The Tranquility is a consistent pleasure (and often jaw-dropping) for ripped files (AIFF) for streaming audio.
The customer service is amazing. Always interested in making the most of the system you have.
