Having heard a fully modified Gustard and an stock and a modded Yggy (damped) on the same system, I have to respectfully disagree.
You could not have heard a fully modded Gustard Pro DAC (by me) as no on has one yet (first two shipping next week). Maybe you heard the first version with the older not as good DACs and one of my older (not as good) mods. Yesterdays toy is not todays toy. Also the usb input on the Gustards is not particularly good....best to use modded Singxer with it. The Pro is a completely different animal and I have spent 2 months retweaking the mods, as it is so dang revealing. There is also another more expensive DAC (still less than Yggy) that recently slayed (right out of the box stone cold) a modded Yggy. The owner of both is now putting the Yggy back to stock and you will see it on audiogon any day now. He will post when he sells his Yggy. The Yggy is so yesterday! Here is a link to the modded Yggy: http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/Schiit_mod.html
