MSB select II vs all dacs ?

@rhapsody From everyone I have talked to the rockna is far superior to yggy2 but I have not heard either so can't personally comment.

Any other dacs come to mind ?

Any other dacs that can compete at rockna level in this price segment?

Just revisiting this thread. It seems pretty much everyone loves the rockna wavedream, esp sig balanced. So for under $20k has anyone heard a dac they enjoyed more?

@ricred1 have you heard MSB?

Also Denafrips ?

@mikelavigne  Have you heard the rockna wavedream?

@mikelavigne  What DACs that were much cheaper than the Select 2 have ever grabbed your attention? Say something under $20k.

@ricred1  Would be interesting to compare it to the signature. Are you going to get mscaler? Im guessing comparing the signature to select 2 is a little silly probably.

@mikelavigne  What does the rest of your system look like if I may ?

@shkong78 how good is the dave + mscaler vs msb? I would have loved if you heard them in the same system for a direct comparison.

@worldwidewholesales did you hear MSB Select 2? How did Rockna compare?

@worldwidewholesales  Wow, Rockna better than MSB Select 2 ?? For it to be even in the same converstaion as Select 2 is a huge accomplishment. Amazing. 

Did you hear Mscaler + Chord DAVE and compare to Rockna? What other dacs have you compared to Rockna? 

(sorry to all for semi-derailing my own thread).

Good points by all. I agree price is necessarily indicative of quality or performance. But MSB Select 2 is regarded by many as the best thats why for something 1/10 of the price to compete in anyones eyes is quite an accomplishment.

I mean I don't think you'll find anyone who prefers the schiit modi over the schiit yggy2. But the price difference is similarly massive.
