I was wondering if anyone has heard both of these dacs (Audial Aya II and Isabellina) and could give me some info on similiarities and differences?  Thanks.

[joschmo]

anybody?

Hi joschmo,

Sorry there haven't been responses to your question.  I must admit that I never heard of the Audial Aya II dac 

Hopefully someone out there has heard them both and will be of help.

FWIW, the Isabellina has just been reviewed by Dave Clark of Positive Feedback Online:

Thanks Vinnie, it is a Pedja Rogic dac 1541 (have no affilation) and looks pretty good saw a review on tnt and another place but they are pretty rare.  Still really looking forward to hearing yours and seriously contemplating a sig.  That upgrade deal you have is awesome.

Hi joschmo,

Ok - As always, feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. 

All the best,

I have an AYA II. All I need now is an Isabellina to compare it too!

The Isabellina (Isabella) is the only DAC that I have any experience with.  I have no idea how it compares to other DACs out there, but I am little curious to find out even though a lot of this comes down to a persons preference.  Meaning people like different presentations.

Here is a link posted by one of our Isabellina customers (who now has an Isabella with built-in Isabellina) who has compared it to a few other dacs:
