Wyred for Sound DAC 2 or Peachtree Nova

I'm looking for a new dac to replace my Bel Canto Dac 3. I would use the Nova as a Dac preamp only. What do you think?

Its another Sabre32 DAC with exceptional SQ, great mod potential and a toggle-able tube/solid state output. Listening to mine right now. Its great.

I´ve been looking at it and seems very interesting! Probably broken in already? How does it sound? Comparisons, please?
