Servers with direct ISL connection

General

I am looking at servers with direct ISL connection. These are what I’ve discovered:

Pink Faun

Taiko Olympus

Aurender N50

Innuous Nazare

Am I missing any? who has compared these? I have currently have a Taiko Olympus IO on loan but not with the ISL connection. The built in DAC bests my older Reference (non digital director) DAC but I suspect an ISL connection will elevate the sound over the stock DAC in the IO. Specifically , is the Pink Faun (even double) with ISL better than the IO? Anyone…please

I live in the Chicagoland area,

I have compared spec sheets and eliminated several based on my requirements but I have not had the pleasure of comparing the 2 left on my list with the one I feel you are missing on the list :wink:

My 3 options are:

Pink Faun Ultra

Aurender N50

MSB Renderer (v2 but ideally v3)

This looks right for the current line up.
