Miab, thank you for the recommendation; I will endeavor to check it out. Romy, you have a salient point, although as I'm going to Montreal next week, I am going to audition the unit in question, since I might as well whilst I'm there, particularly as I have the Emmlabs pair in my system this weekend, and thus have something modern to compare it to. Of course, the Emmlabs is the much-vaunted unit of the two, but a polarizing one at that, so we will see; I shall report on it after the weekend, and the Antelope next week. That said, the Antelope will be a shop audition, most likely with better components than my own but less well set up/positioned, whilst the Emmlabs is today going into my own system; it will be an interesting comparison.
I wonder.... With all your additions and in context of different systems that you do not know.... What methodology will you be using to evaluate the cons and pros of the DACs? I mean you would go for better sound, which is fine, but how would you know that better or worst sound within the systems that you will be listening will come from DAC  and not from 64638 other reasons? I do not mean to be difficult  but I just feel that it might not be too sensible. Also, and sorry if it sound like a too personal question: what CD/s you will be using to play on those new DACs?
