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 😉 My 3 options are: Pink Faun Ultra Aurender N50 MSB Renderer (v2 but ideally v3) ---

This looks right for the current line up.
