I have already tested a lot of DACs and I must say that I like the best of the Arcam pricing power. Among the tested among other things belonged Cambridge Audio, Rega, Musical Fidelity. The appreciation of the music that I play on my iMac is more than clear. Until recently, I've preached that even 320 MP3s on a good hi-fi chain are not usable, so I have to revise the Arcam but that after some time. Although Flac files and CDs are still better but the differences are now more audible only within comparison. In everyday life, to be nice to listen to music that give out signal suffices perfectly. The sound is wonderfully quiet and tidy and experiences a significant gain in size ... both from the room and the sound volume.
Moreover, the Arcam for weeks running completely carefree with me via USB. I could well imagine that in the so often complained failures simply exists an operator error in the calculation positions.
