I have a Massdrop Cavalli Tube Hybrid (CTH) w/ integrated Grace SDAC (AK 4452) and was switching between this combo and an external Khadas Tone Board (9038Q2m) and found that I prefer the Khadas. The Khadas seems to offer a tad more detail or brighter (not sure best term) which is a nice combination with a tube hybrid amp. Do you think this could be a difference in the DAC chips, implementation or just the difference in using a built-in DAC vs external RCA connections? Anyone with some experience with either of these units / chips? Just curious as I try to learn more is all....

I own Khadas Tone Board and I can confirm it's high quality sound for cheap. Can't compare to the other one, though.
