At this point I'm thinking why not just buy Dave blind, what are the odds I'm not going to love it. Possible but not very likely. It might also enable me to sell my WA5 LE if I conclude straight out of Dave is superior. I might not need the amp anymore with my HD800, LCD-3 and PS1000. Also thinking of getting a Utopia, straight out of Dave is supposed to be most excellent.
If possible, try audition first.
I bought my DAVE blind because there was no local Chord dealer at vicinity that will carry DAVE. I learnt, from the impressions of other users, that DAVE excels at live concerts which is my genre and made the leap. It's been with me for a few months now and every time I switch it on I smile. However, for albums that each of the parts was recorded in a studio and then mixed, I guess a lesser DAC can do the job equally well.
