With the latest excitement in music server I m considering buying the above DAC. Since I have a orpheus lab transport, I m wondering how good is it connected by aes/ebu to the above DAC. Any feedback is welcome.thks

I haven't done a head to head comparison, but I'm fairly confident the Bryston is in the same ballpark for 40% the price. The BADA has, in my two auditions, a fairly strong sonic "character," which the Bryston does not (or has less of, at any rate).
