I've already read the Halcro and Wavac reviews in TAS and SP.

Did they have suitable speed, detail and pace ?

"(T)ranscendently neutral" and "astonishing measured performance" for
the Halcro; the Wavac made the flute solo in "Monday, Monday" a
"compelling musical performance...."

I was pulling your leg slightly.

No problem. There's an overused anonymous quote for this kind of thing:
"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture."

I'm curious how a reviewer can talk of a
'measured performance' by ear alone !

I don't know, but the quote was from the "Measurements" section.

How diiferent are these 2 DACs btw ? I'm not up to date wuth them.

The thread took a little detour to 'expensive amps'. The most expensive
DAC I remember from Stereophile would be dCS.
