Keces 131.2 versus PS Audio Digital Link III

I had a PS Audio DLIII in my system for a trial period of about a week. It came across as overly warm and bass heavy, with that coloration overlaying everything. Might work in an overly bright system. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience w/Keces products. I hope this is a little helpful.

keces, really good for the money and can roll opamps to change sound. Very neutral, well built, no real deficiencies, does not have the bass impact of some of it's competition. Sounded about as good as the Sony 999es transport with a wider soundstage. DLIII is a bit colored, warmish, smooth, relaxed but treble can be a tad dry. Huge soundstage as well. It inverts polarity, correcting it does make it sound a bit different. I prefer it to most of the competition in the <1K category.

Check out current 6moons.com. I think they compare these two DAC's.

@ Rotarius - Your the first person I've heard from that has sampled both the Keces and the PS Audio. I am thinking about selling my Keces in favor of a new PS Audio... is the DLIII a worthy upgrade to the Keces? Did you find it to be an upgrade over the Keces at all?

Thanks for the responses all... any alternate recommendations in the $500 range that you think would top the stock Digital Link III?
