If you have any interest in hearing well regarded dacs on a top tier system don't miss this event! There is a $10 entry fee. RSVPs are appreciated due to limited seating; multiple sessions will be available. There will also be a speaker from Chord present to talk about their technology.

Dave and Troy from Audio Doctor NJ beat me to it.
I own the Current Yggy dac. Optical sounds the worst compared to all other connections. AES/EBU and BNC are the best sounding in my system. I prefer BNC. Sure I’d love to save over $1k and get a Black Ice Audio dac, and I bet it is an excellent dac. Would be nice to compare the finalist dacs with different connections though.But, I’m sticking with my Yggy + I support American products as best I can.  We make the best stuff here and don’t copycat. Oops... another topic for another time. Ha!
