altman attraction dac vs empiracle dac1 12s

Hi all,
I am considering jumping onto the usb dac bandwagon, I've recently upgraded my sytem apart from the digital source. I want to know if anyone has heard or auditioned the empiracle audio 12s benchmark dac 1 against the altman attraction dac. I will be using some sort of usb converter, probably empiracle audios offramp, but want the best quality sound.
My system: ASR emitter 1, jmlabs micro utopias be, arcam alpha
9 cdp.
Any info or suggestions will be very appreciated
thanks

Thanks Steve,

My assesment has now changed. Since my last post I got a new set of Duos (check my system) with the Omega upgrade, brass stands and multiple 225 woofers. All the edge is gone. A really incredible transformation. The increase in resolution from the Jisco circuit now doesn't cause any adverse side effects. The Altmann, or should I say the whole system, now sounds incredible.

Herman - good for you. I occasionally get this result with customers that purchase more clear and extended sources than they have used in the past. These improved sources sometimes exacerbate other system problems from preamps to speakers and even cables. It can be difficult to locate the offending component.
