Which would you pick between the two DAC.

Just ran across the review below of the Exogal Comet. The reviewer compares it extensively to the Wadia 121 and 521. His description of the sound of the Comet is dead on based on my experience of ownership, only he chose not to opt for the optional Linear power supply for the review. A HUGE mistake and I can confidently say that is part of his valid criticism of lack of bass weight and power compared to the Wadia 521. Notice I said 'part of" because the Comet retains a "light" (but audibly improved) overall sonic character even with the optional power supply. All of the other outstanding sound qualities of this DAC simply make you ignore this and marvel at the music.

Real point here is that, if this reviewer nailed the sound of the Comet so well, his comments on the strengths and  weaknesses of the Wadia 121/521 and the house sound of Wadia's recent products should be equally valid for Eddy.

Correction that is $1.2K

Any high resolution or DSD DAC should have HDMI. Otherwise there is no way to use it with SACD/DVDA or Blu-Ray audio. The only real high resolution DAC with HDMI is from Bryston unless you want a processor.

Easy the 2nd one  hands down.   Plus there still in

Thank you.
