If it was not clear from my oblique comments before, I agree with what all have said, DAC1 seems to be techinically more correct but at the expense of some information loss.  DAC2, which I prefer, has more distortions but also has more complete musical information.
Actually, drdna, your initial associative feedback I found was the most illustrative. I did not provide those files as a competition between the A/D processors but rather as have chosen from the music that I recorded with those processors the fragments that the most characterize the performance of both machines. This is my view how the real audio reviews should be written.

I do not really know if it is necessary to divulge what file belong each A/D processor, as no one cares anyhow to buy them. This is not really the competition between the processors but rather the competition between the views: superb, overlay-articulate, technical execution of American dry halls with their direct-sound in the Eroica vs. blurred, moisture and harmonic sound in the Pathetique. Still, pay attention that in Eroica (it was MMT and SF) the very high level of orchestral rendering creates a new awareness of confidence and coolness.  In Pathetique, the orchestra is "wobbling" and full of doubts (Robert Spano and BSO). It is not that one processor is better – they are different and I intend to use them both – how to use them – this is a different, much bigger, subject.

What I found very interesting is the Antonio’s comments:

I kind of did not think about it in this way but he might have a point. Although, I have my decision; I would spend more time to think about it….
