    I own and enjoy the DACport but recently bought phones with a dedicated amp (Stax), so am thinking about getting an LX, seing as it's purported to sound better. But when I spoke to David at Centrance, he mentioned that the LX is basically a Dacport with the potentiometer gone and the volume...

    Audio-gd Ref 7.1 or Bryston BDA-1

    How does these two DACs compare to each other.  The insides of each are very different.  Does less = more, or does more = better?
