Rcaltd, the closet I can come to being helpful to you is to share that another audiophile friend just compared the AA Tube Hybrid DAC to the MBL reference DAC and liked the Accustic Arts DAC much more.
Here on the GON I have posted reviews of the AA DAC1 MK4, along with reviews of the Tube Hybrid reference DAC and the AA transports. On a few occasions I have heard the MBL digital gear in other systems, but was never that impressed to do a home audition compared to the Accustic Arts digital gear.
