Could you make a wish for Gustard to produce a current drive amp, something like the Bakoon HPA-21, and maybe an R-2R dac, to 'out Yggy' the Yggy

Yep.. both excellent suggestions.  I'd love to see the a R2R DAC from Gustard.. I'd absolutely take that over an X20, personally.  Take my money now!

Have you read my mind brother? :grinning:

Though I still enjoy my NFB-1, my DAC-19 now gets most of my listening time. I have actually found a renewed love with my Lyr 2 because of my DAC-19. Mind boggling what an R2R DAC had done to my gear...

That's a movie that's long overdue a revisit; Bill Murray portraying some proper western style cynicism and sarcasm.
I'm living somewhere where chaps ask me if I'm a Westlife (Taylor Swift or that Canadian lad (Or Vampire Diaries!!!)) fan. Genuinely!

 (Ok, so I can handle a Taylor Swift video. If I have to.)

What is it that you like about the R2R sound?
 
Come on SS Gustard. Let's steer a course, away from streams, towards the deepest oceans of many bits and ladders!

+1111 .
Gustard could being making something multibit at a decent price. Also interested in any portable DAC/Amp they bring out but they could brand themselves differently for the international market and keep the custard for China....anyway,waiting patiently for the balanced amp in the works.... :wink:

If they can bring a **great** multi-bit DAC to market at a reasonable price, I'd lose my mind.. the Yggy will never be something I can afford, so Schiit's trickle down is something myself (and virtually everyone else) is looking forward to.. but being one of/the pioneering H10 swabbie, Gustard gets a shot at my wallet first!

LOL. No worries mate.
 
Since using Audio-gd DAC-19, I barely use my NFB-1 since I like the strengths of DAC-19 more than NFB-1 but the balanced R2R DAC of Audio-gd is quite expensive and hence hoping Gustard would jump into the R2R ship. Since you've asked what I like about the R2R, I will highlight what I find good with DAC-19 and what I found good with NFB-1
 
DAC-19: fuller and more natural tone, less sibilant, seems very quiet/clearer, bigger (though mussier) bass
NFB-1: better dynamics, more airy, seems more extended on the highs, seems to have bigger soundstage
