So Stillhart, what's up with these potshots?

Purrin wasn't the most unbiased poster and he has a gaggle of sycophants who parrot whatever he thinks, but there was definitely some decent discussion in there if you could separate the wheat from the chaff.

If you believe Purrin (which is a big "if"), the Yggy walks all over the M7.

Only eight months ago, you were all gaga over the Hugo: "I heard the Chord Hugo this week at CES and was REALLY impressed by the sound quality." in my old DAC thread on HF (http://www.head-fi.org/t/693798/thoughts-on-a-bunch-of-dacs-and-why-delta-sigma-kinda-sucks-just-to-get-you-to-think-about-stuff/2100#post_11208719). I advised you to look elsewhere because IMO the Hugo was a poor value.

In short time, you ended up with a vintage DAC, a Theta, presumably based on my own positive experience with the Gen V. Eventually you went your own way and moved on to the AGD DAC19. As I understand it, you prefer the DAC19 over the Gumby which is cool and something I totally understand. Although I personally prefer the Yggy/Gumby, I have advised people who have asked me in PM that the AGD PCM1704 based DACs would be preferable if they wanted a more rolled, warmer, lusher, romantic sound.

Your words are very hurtful to my feelings considering that you've actually met me and some of my friends (not sycophants) in person. They are also puzzling considering that you yourself went from opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of DACs, i.e. from the Hugo to the Theta, and then on to the AGD DAC19. Maybe a tiny bit of thanks for helping to point you the right direction (R2R) instead of the passive-aggressive-kind-of-a-shitty-act?

Anyways, have fun on your megalomaniac journey. At your current rate, you'll have 10k posts on HF by the second quarter of next year, and will have obtained Messiah status with your own army of sycophants who will parrot what you have say. You'll have the respect and authority that you crave soon enough.
