Ypsilon Phaeton + Marten Coltrane Tenor = which DAC?

@msamardzic  You are welcome. Glad the post was helpful. You may want to add TotalDac to your list, also. Not as many come up used and you'd be at their mid levels new (which are very good).

Synergy between what you will be bringing in as source and your preamp will play a role, as will overall sound objectives for your system.

Good luck with your search and choice.

Ypsilon is releasing a brand new DAC1000 1Q 2019. Looks pretty great. https://www.monoandstereo.com/2018/05/new-ypsilon-dac-1000.html

That Ypsilon dac looks to be a great one. 

The Ypsilon DAC1000 just started shipping. Received mine a couple days ago and in the process breaking it in

Which one is it the STD version or SE and what is your opinion on it have you compared it to other DACs
