Anyone with a more expensive Wolfson version will obviously tell you theirs is "night and day" different but... those with the cheaper ones will probably say they are 90% of the top tier DACs... really depends on your perspective.
You can't go wrong with audio GD for the price though.
Indeed... The Wolfson naming system makes very little sense. The WM8742 is a mid-range chip, somewhere between the WM8740 and WM8741. Their highest performing and most expensive chip is the WM8741.
There is also the Headphonia Cable Dac.. $69 for a WM8740 based unit.
Unless you are strictly interested in WM87XX units (not specified in the OP) then the AMB Gamma1 (WM8501) and the Grub (WM8524) should also be included..
