As long as you keep in mind that the BM is analogue neutral sounding rather than warm ( the Rega is a good example of a warm DAC). So if you are more into the neutral camp then the BM would be a significant improvement over many DACs costing a lot more. I have a long list of feedback comparisons from existing owners of the BM MK1 to draw from. The MK2 is an audible step upwards from the Mk1, and my money back guarantee if not totally satisfied is an important consideration that buyers take into account.
