Check the reviews online, but this is my personal take on this Dac ...

I had the Forsell D/A Converter and the Dcs Elgar/Purcell/Verona prior to using the Spectral.  I downsized from the Dcs stack to the Forsell and loved the organic/rich sound I was getting despite losing the detail, soundstage and slam. When I bought the Spectral D/A Converter to replace the Forsell, I got somewhat the best of both worlds (detail and soundstage). I cannot really reliably compare the Spectral to the Dcs stack as the systems were different and memory is ... that being said I do not feel I lost much when I moved from the Dcs stack to the Spectral, despite the significant gap in $ (Dcs combo should be around $4,000-$4,500 used).
