Please remember that the analog output stage has a profound impact on the sound...not just the chip...although that clearly matters too. The output stage of the Skylla and all Ayon DACs is very very good...such that it serves as a true high end preamp (there are analog inputs)... one of my friends with an Ayon Stratos uses his that way for his analog rig.
