bebop86,

Tough choices there.
Sig IV will present more detail, will render soundstage better, specially if it has the Galaxy Clock. And it'll most likely come with one of the beefier power supplies, so dynamics will likely be better than a plain Analog DAC with the stock linear supply.
But Analog DAC is the newer platform, you can add beefier power supplies to it, as well as use the Audio Renderer, to do audio over Ethernet from your server.
Hope this helps :D
