listen to it. Interesting review, thanks, but being “picky” I take issue with some of the contextual points made: “Now, my normal “reference” DAC is a Schiit Yggdrasil v.2 and it sounds generally better than most DACs in it’s price range, but the Hugo 2 is more expensive and with its almost 50,000 filter coefficients (taps), it should have vastly better performance than the Yggy. Thank you both for your help and you Chris and others of reviews of the equipment I settled on-am truly impressed and happy. Listen to all sorts of music, prefer a massive resolution with great detail, stage, and rhythm. For a similarly priced product, they would have a much higher budget to go overboard.
Why on earth should great gear, DACs or otherwise, at budget pricing be expected to knock off the far less compromised, pricey gear? Nor would a shill need to engage in thousand word long PM exchanges with me in private. This subreddit is dedicated to a community of enthusiast and newcomers. It's your choice but he is the outlier.

Your thoughts below would be greatly appreciated. vs the Aune x7s (MSRP 300 USD) didn't have nearly the same amount of change as any headphone I'd tested for the day compared to another headphone. But people who love the sound and are on a budget do it. However, I have heard many on multiple forums who also listen to classical music and they feel that R2R DACs present musical instruments more naturally. Sign up for a new account in our community.
Sorry for the choice of words, English is not my first language. I wonder the same about all the ESS Sabres (really any "good" Sabre) with custom filters that "soften" the glare. My only caveat is that the two R2R DACs I've listened to in my life are the MSB Diamond DAC IV and the MSB Analog DAC. I am beginning to think that my 2A3 amp makes soundstage at least 10% bigger than it should be. Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo Sign in to follow this . Ideally, you really want to hear both but I understand that's not always practical. The Mojo has good reviews, but I don't listen to headphones, so I would prefer to go with a DAC that doesn't have a headphone amplifier and isn't portable. Well, not really. Often there is a region around midscale where the performance can be significantly degraded because of cycling patterns forming either in the delta-sigma modulator or in the DEM system. I don't see why I would need to. @jcn3 WOW just what I wanted to hear thank you so much, @The Computer Audiophile @jcn3 Have had the Yggy GS and Rggy 2 since Tuesday with the Legacy monitors. The various FPGA based DACs like Chord and PS Audio are also very interesting.
Thanks for the response, don’t know if we can compare sound based purely on the measurements... Yggy doesn’t measure particularly well if I remember correctly. So like I said before, it's a preference. Digital: DACs, USB converters, decrapifiers.
I wanted to get a general weight on this subject as I have lived with the DAVE for months and the Analog and Yggdrasil for a couple of years. You might also consider the Schiit Ragnarok. He has also been "removed" from a few audio forums for his lack of ethics. got the DAC and the amp in black--glad you are pleased as am. Press J to jump to the feed. Happy with the purchase and paired with microRendu & NAS many have raved about the sound quality, and more than one has ordered a Gumby. Both are excellent but I prefer the extra clarity of the Benchmark DAC3. This is just personal opinion of course but I felt it was cold and analytic, definitely not as musical as the Yggdrasil.
I understand quite a bit, though I wouldn't say that my knowledge runs the full gamut. I think the most important thing is good sound, but I also think there should be a certain humility in designing a $2500 DAC - at the very least it should measure well. I love the Yggy.

Emotiva DC-1 is another good option, nice remote, great sound quality and a nice amount of inputs. Empire Outlets is just steps from the Staten Island Ferry on Staten Island. Especially as FPGA gets more powerful and goes down in cost. Benchmark used to have a bit of that clean but detailed sound. with the yggy gs, you'll get the a1 boards, the usb gen 5, and upgraded firmware (a1 yggys could not get this unless they sent their unit in for an upgrade). Didn’t care for the Hugo. you'll also have the option to upgrade to the a2 boards for $650 (see the website) plus roundtrip shipping. I want chills.

You mean like your opinions on non-Chord approaches to digital audio (R2R and D/S, and nevermind that Chord's FPGA is a variation on the Delta-Sigma theme), or your opinions on non-Chord folks' intentions (or lack thereof) to reproduce the recorded waveforms with utmost fidelity? the a1 boards were very good, the a2 supposedly sound a bit better. Thinking about a DAC upgrade. Is it a Gen5USB? Basically, a DAC isn't going to help you hear God's whisper.
Gungnir MB is a very good dac . Being a firm believer in burn-in myself, I gave the … I think R2R DACs generally sound quite different than Chord DACs so for most people, it comes down to personal preferences. According to your apparent view of higher pricing being a strong indicator of higher quality, a Chord Dave DAC at $15,000 should be significantly better (but surely not three times better) than a $5,000 PS Audio DirectStream DAC. I'm so biased towards Chord DACs that I actually prefer Chord Mojo to most DACs, even MSB Diamond DAC IV. Yeah, I’ve posted on Head Fi as well.... just hoping two or three people will be able to help me out!

If you liked the Yggdrasil, you'll love the Analog 2. The only way to know is to (gasp!) The DS version not so much . I received my Yggy GS Monday after not finding a lot written about it. I believe you can upgrade the modules later if you wish. I know, but It helps to know how inaccurate the item is.
I have a Yggdrasil with analog 2 and had a Chord Hugo before that.
Sadly auditioning the Yggy is near impossible for me as I don't think anyone in NZ stocks either units, and certainly not in Christchurch. My Yggdrasil based audio system is able to portrait what I would call accurate/realistic(3D like) sound-stage with all the depth, width and even height auditory cues that must be inherent from the source recording(i.e. Great dac at a great price. Source is Tidal via USB for the most part. Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo.
