R2R Dacs $3K or under

Hi all - I'm looking for impressions and preferences of the following or similar R2R Dacs around $3K or lower:

I've seen writeups comparing Yggy with Denafrips Terminator but nothing yet comparing Yggy with Venus.

Thanks

I've been reading many reviews on them and they all seem to compare it to the Total DAC at $10k more money that's a good reason to take a look and be patent. god not to free the cash up. this line in Michael's review makes you wonder and take a closer look. "I've spoken in the past about how the totaldac resides in the non-digital sounding arena and how not very many DACs play on that field. Two DACs that spring to mind are the dCS Rossini and the T+A DAC 8 DSD when fed nothing but DSD512 from HQPlayer. I am happy, very happy, to add the HoloAudio Spring DAC LEVEL 3 "Kitsune Tuned Edition" to this short list.
