| Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC Series II and Alpha USB Thanks for the replies. If I understand correctly Pawel8 you still have the DAC but sold the Alpha USB and Sabai you have sold your DAC? This doesnt instill me with confidence on my choice. The Alpha USB I can understand especially in comparison ... | |
| Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC Series II and Alpha USB Thanks. I was hoping to hear from owners of BADAs. I have a number (too many) options with the choice of DAC and no way to hear them, so I decided just to take the plunge with BADA based on price, various posts etc.I'm just trying to see if people... | |
