RE: FiiO

Both the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and the FiiO M15 sound excellent to me. I can't necessarily say one sounds better than the other. The Brooklyn Bridge will play DSD256 through its USB computer input. The FiiO M15 will play DSD256 from a plugin micro SD memory card. However, it will play DSD512 when connected to a computer via USB. Both the FiiO M15 and the Brooklyn Bridge will decode MQA. The FiiO can upsample everything to DSD if you select the PCM-to-DSD mode. The FiiO M15 costs $1300 and the Brooklyn Bridge costs $3000. They both sound excellent to me and I'm quite happy with both of them.

The Mytek Brooklyn Bridge is rated Class "A" in Stereophile's Recommended Components. The Mytek Manhattan DAC II is rated Class "A+" in Stereohpile's Recommended Components, but it costs $6000.

Good luck,
John Elison
