I'm planning to sell my beloved Pacific (if I get the price I need for it). Otherwise, I'll be very happy to keep it. I'm kind of tired of dealing with tube issues and I'm very interested in the dac Bakoon will eventually come out with that may optimize with my Bakoon 13r amp and its Satri current circuit. This would also likely save me a lot of money.
Another path-- which would not be saving money -- is the msb Premier with pro usb, power base and clock upgrade.
So, I'm interested if anyone has compared the Pac and Premier directly in their systems?
And specifically, the volume controls of the two dacs. The msb info on their vc is particularly sparse. The Bakoon is integrated, but with the Pacific I like using the VC in combination with the Bakoon's gain.
