So, he is going to try to arrange a one day comparison between the XRAY/VDAC, Benchmark DAC, and Music Hall DAC. Roger (my audio dealer/friend) called up a couple of his other audio buddies and is making arrangements for one day loaners so we can compare the DAC's against each other.

One thing I was surprised not to find on the XRAY was a SPDIF output. I thought it had SPIDIF but the XRAY only has analog out, Digital Coax, and Optical. When I looked at the VDAC it has a SPIDF input so I presumed the XRAY had the equivalent output. Well, that's what I get for not checking.

Like Frenchmon said...I can always return the VDAC within 30 days. What I am trying to extract from the XRAY is "texture' or "body" that I think it is lacking. I really do enjoy the XRAY and I won't part with it even if I can't wring anything else out of it.

What do you mean by texture or body?
