That might be pretty amazing, 'cause my Gumby already sounds damn good. Your Yggy must sound amazing....
Stephen.......It does! I listen to it every day. It's working its magic right now.

I just got mine less than a week ago. The sound quality is truly amazing. I can’t wait until the Yyggy is fully broken in.

I absolutely love mine. Using it with balanced cables to a Mcintosh C47. I had the Gumby DS for a few years and splurged on the upgrade one day. I thought the Gumby sounded great, but this ended up being next level once it broke in. I've never hooked up the USB to my pre.. I'm not even curious how it compares.

Yggy brings out the ambience in certain types of recordings like nothing else.

PS- Nice avatar.

It's spooky how great it sounds.

Thank you! It's a picture of a painting that I bought from Mickey Hart.

Yggy 2 is exceptional.

I recognized Mickey's artwork, good stuff.

You are correct! Amazing DAC that punches well above its weight class.

Now that you folks are thoroughly enjoying the Yggdrasil Analog 2 DAC it may be enjoyable to read my Schitt Audio Yggdrasil Review again. .
