Peachtree Decco vs. MF V-DAC

Although I appreciate the recent comments, my system has totally transformed. I moved the B&W 685s and the HSU sub into my HT setup. You can see my current 2-channel setup in my system link. I still don't have a DAC, and that is probably the very next purchase. Unless I come into some kind of windfall and can afford a speaker upgrade. Either way, its going to be a while until my next purchase! The MF V-DAC MkII, and the PS Audio Digital Link 3 are probably my top contenders right now, Music Hall and Cambridge Audio aren't far behind. Schiit also has a new DAC out, and Peachtree's DacIt looks good. I sometimes see Benchmark DAC1s in the under-$700 range. Plenty of decent options!

I keep forgetting about the Schiit. I think that's probably one to keep an eye on. I haven't heard it, but they're fully upgradeably. For $450 you could get the USB version and have a DAC that won't be obsolete any time soon. It's one I'd definitely like to check out at a show if I get the chance.

How does the schiit compares to the music hall 25.3? i aiways wanted a comparison between them.

I haven't heard either unit; the music halls have vacuum tubes in them, but only on one set of outputs, either the balanced or the unbalanced outputs, I can't remember which. The Bifrost is solid state, so it would be interesting to compare it to both the solid state and tubed output from the MH 25.3...
I have heard the ESS Sabre DAC that is in the Peachtree DACiT and was quite impressed.
