Doing awesome my friend. Yes, Johnny can be trusted. He down sells more than anyone I know. He always tries to get folks into things under their budget, which isn't always the best, but I fully get it.
I'm in the market for a DAC and am looking at the Brinkmann Nyquist mk 2, DCS Bartok, MSB Discrete with extra built in power supply and ProUSB dongle, Bricasti M1SE and the Meitner MA3. Some used, some new. Haven't heard the DCS or Brinkmann in years. Going to hear the Bricasti and Meitner next week locally. Never heard the MSB, but loved the MSB Select I believe it was a few years ago when it came out. Dont' want to make a mistake here, lol...
