Article: Berkeley Audio Design Alpha USB Review

[wdw]

Hello Chris, thanks for your review. <br />

Truly sounds like a wonderful component. I see from your equipment list that you are using Spectral Electronics and am wondering whether you are using the gain stage of the pre-amp with the Alpha DAC or the digital volume control of the DAC. <br />

I recall Berkeley claiming that direct connection to the amplifier was the clearest signal but also suspect the Spectral gear is so good that this might not be the case. Spectral is on my wish list for new electronics.<br />

Regards, Warren

We are a fussy bunch, that's for sure but his statement stands...the best digital I've heard! <br />

<br />

Surprising that any of us can get laid.<br />
