Schiit Yggdrasil DAC piques my attention

MQA hasn't gained my enthusiasm to any extent, either. And up-conversion of all files to DSD without the ability to defeat the up-conversion process if desired doesn't appeal to me. Even though the Vggdrasil DAC is not a direct apples to apples comparison with the Directstream DAC, the Yggy's appeal to me is far more interesting for the R2R ladder DAC conversion process and its closed-form digital filter than PS Audio's offering.

That's great - I have no horse in this race, I just wanted to note the DirectStream DAC isn't more expensive just to be more expensive, it has wider capabilities for those who are interested in them (plus the regular software updates that change the actual sound of the unit.)
