Default New Yggy or Primaluna DAC?

It will be interesting to see a few more reviews of the PL. It’s a little bit idiosyncratic. Their marketing materials highlight tube rectification and point to point wiring.

“You spend a lot of money on interconnects. So why have the signal go right from the RCA jacks or speaker terminals into circuit boards with copper traces so thin you can hardly see them? What’s high-end about that?”

I’m calling BS on that because the signal path starts at the D/A converter and it is on a printed wiring board with copper traces so thin you can hardly see them.

The proof is of course in the listening. It’s a delta sigma D/A. I’ve got three of them and prefer the sound of my R2R D/A to the delta sigma DAC’s I own.

It’s a beautiful looking unit and their other gear is well regarded by people that own it. I’d like to listen to one sometime.
