I wonder what will happen when Schiit eventually comes out with an upgraded version of Yggdrasil. It may prove to be an even better bargain!
OK, thanks for clarifying that about the TT. It sure sounds like the takeaway here is that the Yggdrasil and the PWD Junior are super-audiophile bargains (and I guess the Mojo too). Best to you again.
Thanks. The only thing I would add, if only for completeness down the road as far as new developments go, is the brand new Metrum Adagio, given the Pavane's high marks. Though I wonder if they borrowed that name from Acoustic Zen ...
I do think Mojo is as staggeringly good deal.
I might be guilty of praising it to the point of it seeming like hype, but I really think it's that good ... and especially at the price they ask!
Now that the Modi MB is out, I'm very very curious how it stacks against Mojo, in your opinion. Initial reviews seem to be quite positive, some feeling it isn't much of slouch compared even to Yggdrasil, and at 250$ it might become the budget go-to deal...
USB audio gives you too much flexibility, like having a cheap but decent source such as a NUC computer.
In addition it gives you DSD.
Its hard to beat these especially when Coax is RF noise prone and Optical is jittery.
I wrote this and posted it in another thread.
So it's my 2¢ worth on USB and a comparison to it's near polar opposite.

There are some Dacs in your list that you didnt check yet, when you are going to check the rest and give your thoughts, of which Dac you will be choosing in the end.
Have you considered the Cary Audio DAC 200ts?
