Looking for end game level dac, the obvious choice for price point is the yggdrasil.
I owned it and then went with a "Holo Spring" dac after.
R2R is the dac topology of choice for maximum end game sound,
But I have to agree with the review of this thread.
The Terminator IS ABOVE the yggy .
It seems like an impossibility for those that have not heard better, simply because there are none better that I and most have heard.
The Chord and others are simply a different choice.
The Terminator is the only dac I have heard that was noticeably better.
If I were to give a simple idea, I would describe it as being probably about 15% better, so you must consider if that type of gain is worthy of the expense of upgrading ...
