Yes, it was Tim's system, and it really did sound terrific. Realize, though, that it was through a Pacific Microsonics Model 2. I'm anxious to hear how it sounds with my Berkeley Alpha when Tim gets back from CES.
If you see how the Model Two is build compared to the Alpha DAC, it seems rather unlikly that the Alpha DAC can keep up with the Model Two. It would surprise me if it does.
