You wanna buy one and send it to me for evaluation? I've had quite a bit of Metrum DAC experience. ;)

Er, you'd have to ask someone that has an MSB Analog DAC. :P I'd happily lend my Model S, however, to anyone that might lend me a new Metrum DAC. That would be fun.

I think that new DIY discrete DAC board (soekris) suffers the same issues [>14-15bit precision]

Vs Yggdrasil I can second this, still the Soekris (approprietly moded) has some raw energy that's absent from any other dac I have heard.

Any thoughts on the Emotiva DC-1?

Anyone here have any experience with the DCS Debussy in comparison with the Yggy, MSB Analog and Gumby? =)

Sure. Compared to the latest MSB Analog w/Quad here: http://headmania.org/2015/08/18/schiit-yggdrasil-dac-review
Or look-up my review of the MSB Analog on Head-Fi. Not the same level, but that doesn't make Yggy a less nice DAC for the money.

On this topic: Has anyone compared the Yggdrasil properly and directly with the Auralic Vega? A friend owning the Vega (I recommended him to purchase Yggy), recently received the Yggdrasil and completed warm-up. Listening for the first few hours comparatively, saying he's not impressed with the Yggdrasil would be understating it. Yes, both using USB. Unless he is doing something wrong, I am very surprised if Yggy is not matching up to the Vega. I personally have not heard Vega properly at home, so I can't really comment.

I remember that review, not going to comment much till i hear the yggy for the first time this weekend. Im mainly looking for reviews concerning the Debussy in comparison to the yggy , analog etc as it is one that i have, courtesy of a great deal.

Let me know if he's looking to let the yggy go =)

Sorry, I realize I partially misread your comment. Still a bit shocked with the comments from the Vega owner giving me a blow-by-blow report.

Not against those specifically, but I have heard it against the Empirical Overdrive SE, and the OD is better. I would expect Yggy, Analog, and Gumby to all > Debussy.
