Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla

I am currently using an Ayon Cd2s, with its digital input as a DAC to play FLAC & Hi-rez files from my Laptop. Am contemplating an upgrade and options available to me are the Playback design MPD3 or the Skylla. Having owned Ayon players (Cd1s and Cd2s) for the past 3 years as my digital sources I am quite comfortable with upgrading blindly to the skylla, but with all the buzz around Playback designs, I am curious. Any thought?
Cheers,
Sid

I have heard both the MPD3 and MPD5 against an Ayon. I own the MPD3 and my friend owns the MPD5 and Ayon.

Via DSD both the PD's are supreme - nothing touches them to my ears. However via PCM its another matter. Through the PD PCM is OK but to my and others ears three DAC's I have have heard - the Ayon, PDX, and Killer are clearly better.

Thanks
