EVS millennium 1 will kill a MSB Link III in most areas (especially bass slam, bass weight, bass texture, bass speed). The Millennium is very comparable to the Audio Note 1.x DACs.
I should be able to find a Millennium DAC 1 for $325-400, depending on if it is a DAC 1, 1A, or 1B. I would not pass up a good deal on a 1 or 1A just because it isn't the 1B model.
