I will revive a moribund thread to ask a question I have reading this thread.

What is the opinion of sound quality of the 808 vs the 818 for streaming? That is using the USB input rather than Roon/Sooloos and assumes the newer units with ID29.

I don’t spin disks anymore. Does the 808 remain competitive used only as a DAC? Does the 818 remain competitive used as a DAC without using it as a preamp?

Finally, is the Ultra DAC an improvement over an 808v6 with an ID29?

These questions assume using analog out, no confusion of path i.e. no 808 into an 818. Anyone heard direct comparisons?
