(and I still have one in my rig, even if it's no longer my primary DAC).
@Torq May I know what's your primary DAC now?

In my headphone rig an M-Scaler fed Chord DAVE:
In my speaker rig, the latest Linn Klimax DSM.

Have you been able to test the M-Scaler with the other DACs?
Hi @Torq,
Thanks for all your input on DACs - I was wondering if you've spent much time with any of the TotalDACs and what you think of them vs. the Dave and Dave + M-Scaler
I've heard a couple of the TotalDAC products at enough length, in a familiar enough system, to say that I like them but they're still not for me. On their lower end, what was the d1-Dual (I don't know what/how that relates to the current nomenclature/model-range) was less convincing to me, especially at it's asking price, than the original Yggdrasil. The current A2/G5 revision would be even better ... and for 1/5th the price. DAVE, on its own, would also handily beat that - albeit then at a higher price.
On the high/TOTL/flagshp end of things ... the M-Scaler fed DAVE is currently the best digital audio reproduction I've heard. Bar none. This includes models I've looked at previously as well as recent stuff from MSB and dCS and various other exotica. I'll get around to writing up those comparisons at some point, but right now I'm too busy just enjoying the music.
Your mileage may vary.
Was the Totaldac on a headphones or on stereo system? Thanks.
I have a serious question. I see this is in the high end forum. I also see many people have high end components and also schiit items. I was wondering if schiit is actually considered high end?
I mean the stuff costs almost nothing. If cost is to be an indicator of high end. It does not have to be so I was wondering. I thought it was very entry level stuff? I see people here have asgard. I would be very interested in one if it is not just a very entry level amp? Again, I am being serious as I have no clue. Thank you
