Chord DAVE, any lesser Chord DAC come close?

I had the opportunity to audition a Chord DAVE in my system for a couple of days and I was very impressed.
Anybody who truly thinks dacs are all the same needs to listen to a true high end model.
However not so impressed with the 10k price tag.
So looking for comment from experienced Chord users if any of their lesser DAC models come close to the magic of the DAVE.

Dave,  I haven’t heard the Hegel HD30 DAC so I cant really comment on that.   However I do have the Aurender N10 with a Chord Dave which I love.

I’ve heard quite a few DACs over the years though and to my ears the Chord Dave has been the most 3D sounding.   My vote would be for the Dave.
