At yesterday's Houston Audio Society meeting we compared the Scott Nixon tube dac, the dAck! dac, and the Audio Mirror dac. In the ensuing discussion it was clear that the Audio Mirror was preferred, followed by the dAck!, and then the Scott Nixon. We also heard a highly modded Benchmark ovesampling dac (cost with mods about $2,200) which was clearly superior to the less expensive non-os dacs.
An Examplar-modded Denon and a Sony XA9000ES were used as transports and as a SACD benchmark for comparison to the non-os dacs. Both were preferred.
