Not to be too presumptuous, but unless you're on a tight budget I think you should consider the Yggy too. Your McIntosh gear will appreciate it right away, and the other stuff can be upgraded over time.
When I bought my Yggy, it cost as much as my amp and speakers combined (I knew I'd be upgrading the other stuff later, and I didn't want to buy a DAC that would end up on the shelf after 2-3 years). It elevated that system WAY beyond its price tag.

The Yggdrasil is on par with your McIntosh gear, and there is a strong case to be made for keeping gear "on par." Either way you go, Schiit multibit delivers the goods.

But don't take my word for it--ask your dealer how much you might budget for a DAC worthy of your amps. Then buy the Yggy and treat yourself to some cables with part of the savings

Get the Gumby multibit and I'll buy it from you next year when you upgrade to the Yggy.

You guys are not making this easy..I was originally debating the gumby and gumby multibit and now I'm looking at the yggy.. It does look like a nice piece of kit.
In the meantime, I'm also looking at wireworld digital cables (silver star 7) and audio interconnects (eclipse or equinox). |
