Keith you misunderstand,
There's no "can't" here, it's "don't" - whole world of difference!
AD side, bespoke system implemented on FGPA, totally unique and brilliant.
That is what their reputation is built on and what their customer base probably expects the money to be spent on.
You want similar tech (though not necessarily any similarity of approach or design) in a DAC then look no further than a Chord Dave!
What they will do is couple that AD side up with a competent DAC for recording monitoring.
Said DAC will be of good quality though not necessarily anywhere near so state of the art.
There's a bloody good reason why I monitor my recordings using a BM DAC2 run from my HDSP9624's SP/diff out rather than its onboard DAC. There really is no comparison.
I use same HDSP9624 SP/diff as my normal source for normal replay.
Don't believe anybody is suggesting the DAC side involves an ESS9038 or a state of the art FGPA DAC implementation are they?
Obviously people would take a lot of interest if you could get a DAC such as that in a retail package from a world renowned pro audio manufacturer at the price point which also happened to include an equally state of the art ADC for free. It's just that it seems a bit too good to be true!
In terms of your comparisons - stuff the Young DAC, how does it compare to a BM DAC3?
I'm guessing it doesn't right?
PS and FYI my name actually is Colas!
