It is of at least academic interest that the DAC's used in the Anthem AVM-20 and AVM-30 (AK4382) have the following specs: THD + N, 94 dB; Dynamic Range, 112 dB while the DAC's in the 990 (AD1852) have superior specs: THD + N, 104 dB; Dynamic Range, 114 dB.

Makes it hard to imagine how the Anthem could be audibly superior to the 990.
