The draw for me is that La Scala employs four Burr Brown PCM 1704-K chips that are said to be fine sounding R2R ladder DACs. Other well-liked products that use these chips are way out of my price range, so prolly will get La Scala although it's not inexpensive for me.
I haven't read much good about the other two DACs and I'm skeptical about their sound.
Follow Ups:
I'm trying to make time to take my AR CD3 into a dealer that stocks the new Yggdrasil DAC for a bit of a comparative listen. Sadly no auditions at home.
The Yggdrasil I believe is also a R2R ladder DAC (correct me if I'm wrong) whereas the CD3 is a Crystal Semiconductors 24 Bit Delta-Sigma, albeit one that has had a superb implementation.
I will report back with my findings.
:)
