dCS Bartok Review - Smooth, too smooth

CORRECTION: The Bartok cannot accept a 10Mhz clock input, it only accepts word clock inputs The dCS Bartok is a high end DAC with absolutely stunning build quality and features that make other DACs feel primitive by comparison. Unfortunately, the sound quality does not live upto the price.
