Berkeley Audio RS DAC2 joined McIntosh family in my setup
 
I was trying to upgrade digital part of my setup with external DAC. I wanted more then internal C52 DAC could offer. I made an order 3 months before McIntosh D1100 DAC preamp was announced. It was difficult to make a choice, but at the end I ordered Berkeley Audio Reference Series DAC2 with help of local dealer. And I must say it sounds fabulous. I can't say internal C52 DAC was bad, no. But Berkeley Audio RS DAC2 is absolutely another level of music reproduction. Just few photos of latest changes in my setup...

P.S. McIntosh MP1100 phono preamp on the way :banana:

Congrats for an outstanding system, it looks fantastic and I guess it sounds as well.
Is it SPECTRAL the rack's brand?

Congrats on your outstanding DAC. The Berkeley is the bee's knees. I am sure it sounds incredible.
