To me without getting to the technical bits and just based on how things sound and fit in my equipment.
Based on trying their entry level dacs.
I really like the sound of resonessence dac, because of the tonal richness and detail it brings throughout the spectrum. Its like you hear everything, not just details but how an instrument should sound after you hit a note, and how it slowly decays. It does this very well in the bass department, it just makes insturments come alive. This presentation goes very well with tube amps where you can adjust how things sound by rolling tubes.
In the Schitt camp, you get to hear something to a big space, very dynamic between the highs and lows. A lot of people talk about how detail this dac is, but the detail they are referring to is a spacial. Unless you are a classical junky who really cares where every instrument is placed, in other music I doubt the need for this. The instruments sound natural but much more gentle. It probably pairs well without solid state amps.
I want to try the gumby mb because the price is so cheap at $1250, it is hard to not give it a chance, since the alternative is $2850. The people who are on the Schitt forums believe the gumby mb is close enough and some perfer the gumby mb over the yggy. But even when the yggy vs the veritas,there are a lot of happy customers with the yggy crowd much more then the resonessence.
