Battle of the Older DAC


Would this be a simple choice for you?

Looking at upgrading my DAC and at similar price points have options of an Auralic Vega (2013) and a Schiit Yggdrasil OG A2 (2018?) 

I have heard the Auralic and it is impressive, but the reputation of the Yggy looks solid.

Would be keen to hear from anyone who has experience of both or if the choice is clearer that it appears to me.

As ever, would love to hear your thoughts.

Go to Audio Science Review and read the test reports on all the DAC's. Measurements don't lie! Subjective opinions are just that - opinions - and worth little!

@tannoy56 : So you belong to the "golden ears" crowd. Opinions are the only things that matter to you in choosing gear. That doesn't sound smart! Opinions are fallible, measurements are not!

Buying a DAC based upon someone's opinion is stupid. You might as well ask a Ouija board for advice.

@dancub ​​​​​​+1: Today's three-figure sub-$1K DAC's are competitive with the high-price stuff. No need to spend more.
