RE: You will find that it may be very little

Consider your self lucky then :)

Well the MyTek runs hotter than ANY other digital component I have ever seen.

Direct comparison were made to the following DACs:

SIM 380D (PCM) $4000
Bryston BDA-2 (PCM) $3000
Naim DAC $4000
Musical Fidelity M6 (PCM) $3000

Auralic Vega (DSD/PCM) $3500
Luxman DA-06 (DSD/PCM) $5000
Marantz NA-11S1 (DSD/PCM) $3500

To say the MyTek was a distant second would be the understatement of the year. In comparison, a very flat soundstage, dry treble, and less ambiance, by a country mile, actually.

I have said many times, considering the feature set, it is worth $1600, but no more than that. It does not belong in a reference system, and you are leaving a good amount of the recording ambiance on the table by using it.
