Exogal Comet DAC

hi I'm looking for a new dac to replace my Audiomeca Ambrosia.....and my sights are set on the Auralic Vega and Exogal Comet. Not particularly interested in DSD at the moment ( and i had a Chord Qute HD) so i did have a taste of DSD for awhile, but not impressed with the offering so far....but i like what i have read about the Auralic Vega (never heard it) and I like the fact that the new Exogal Comet is made by former Wadia engineers.

so anyone heard the new Exogal yet? impressions?

i like all classical, most jazz, alternative rock (i.e Old REM, ) , grunge (Sound Garden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam) and some world.

thanks in advance

my system:
YBA Signature preamp and amp, reference 3A integral speakers, interconnect and power cabling by Nordost (valhalla and odin), and speaker cables by Hidiamond, Audiomeca Roma Turntable and SB Touch for steaming to DAC...lots of power conditioning by Exactpower, with room treatments and ASI resonators
ie

I don't know how one can compare a dac in one day to another. I find the dac has to settle in and I don't evaluate until the dac has been on for 3 days and played at least 10 hours in the three days. To decide one dac is better than the other in a one day shootout is not fair to the manufacturer or the consumer. We need to remember that a bias statement has as much weight as some of the reviews we read. Listen with your own ears and your own tastes.
My tastes favor the Exogal Comet Plus and find it more musical than the Ayre, but of course this is IMO.
