I replaced my Muse model 2 with a ML 360S DAC. It provided a dramatic improvement in music quality/character. I don't have any experience with the dCS or Dodson. In addition to music quality, two things I really like about the 360S are all the inputs, and it's built in jitter rejection system, ie you can feed it a jittered signal, and the 360S DAC re-clocks it. Happy Hunting. Craig.
