How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC

@ghdprentice 

”a real audiophile DAC”. 
Please describe what that sounds like, Sir.  It’s all subjective.  
 

Level-matched blind listening test. C'mon fellows try it! 

Happy to bring the 2 DAC I mentioned for a comparison with 'audiophile' price level (say 10-30 times the cost of mine) DAC on a qualified system (mine likely is not). Driving distance from 48116 MI

simao I have the Oppo 103 player. Wondering how the built in DAC compares to say a Modi 3+ (or the M1). I.e. use the Oppo as transport with one of those external DAC, or use the DAC in the Oppo. 

George, what competes with a Yggdrasil that isn’t double or triple the cost? I am trying to decide whether I want to buy another Yggdrasil GS.
