@easternlethal<br /> <br /> Completely agree. My question was specific to a bypass of the Weiss FW interface, replaced by the BA USB. Chris has had my Weiss DAC2/Minerva and most recently the DAC202 in his system so his opinion on this change is informative even though our systems are completely different. From what people are writing I'd give the Empirical 5 a try first. At the end of the day it's what sounds great to "you"... The Weiss for me sounds great in my system, if I can improve a bit then it's worth it if not then I am still happy.

Agree with Andy here. My question specifically was directed to Chris's vast experience and knowledge - so... does he think that bypassing the Weiss DAC2's FW interface and using the Berkeley would be an improvement in HIS system? It's not a money question or issue and I have no interest in comparing it to 10 different interfaces.

Another great review, thanks Chris. <br /> <br /> Question - would you use the Berkeley running into a Weiss DAC2 (my DAC currently using FW from a MacPro) rather than using Firewire? <br />
