  1. I have several SACD waiting to be heard on my New DAC, Berkeley Reference, but without ripping them...it's impossible! So Welcome to your project! I am the 191 subscriber ....
  2. I'd like to thank you, Chris, for your exhaustive and thrilling review of Berkeley RS Reference DAC.Why not to use superlatives when you meet something which is exceptional? When I watch to a movie starring Grace Kelly, why shouldn't I say that, in my opinion, she has been, and still now is, the most beautiful actress on the screen? "In my opinion" is the magical formula which underlines the subjectivity of every aesthetical judgment (and not only aestethical, but also ethical very often..). Chris I trust you and your review for two major matters: 1) Your review of Berkeley Alpha USB had changed my life of Audiophile transforming me in a "Computer Audiophile" . 2) I subscribe every superlative you have used in your last review and I can do that properly...because since one week I am a lucky owner of the Berkeley Reference DAC! Considering that I am more a music lover, in particular Classical Music, than an Audiophile, I usually evaluate the music reproduction comparing the reproduced sound to the "natural sound" I hear every week at live concerts, in my town (I'm lucky enough to live in Florence -Italy, where is an important orchestra, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, lead by one of the most important conductors all over the world, Zubin Mehta), as well around all over Europe (last week for instance I was in Paris at La Salle Pleyel and at Theatre des Champs Elyseè, for two different recitals of two most famous living iRussian violinists, Vangerov and Repin). I'm happy to say that, for the very first time, I'm completely satisfied of the naturality and the "sound like living event" of a digital recording: Berkeley Reference DAC does really this "kind of magic", and it does it with the red book format files! I'd like to write more about my listening experience, in particular with classical music, but I'm not sure that is the right place to do it.
