Is it justifiable to pay ~$700 more over say, what I've been looking at right now - the Gamma 2 (under 400)? Exaggeration, hype and everything aside - is it worth it to pay substantially more and wait longer just for the superior DAC?
The Beta 22 is the triple channel, active ground version, if anyone is interested.
What about DIYing it? How much would it cost (assuming the cheapest possible enclosure that works?) What other parts do I need to source that isn't provided with the kit (assume that I also grab the power supply kit). Is it difficult? I can find some help through frirends and family, some of which are quite experienced in electronics.
I definitely don't want to spend that much, and I probably don't even have enough for a Buffalo 32 (unless I can DIY) after a Beta 22. It'd also be great if I could save it on headphones and A/Bing cables to see if I can really discern a difference.
Thanks in advance.
