The Holo May on the other hand covers all of the above better but has the high end treble and micro details. Soundstage is also fantastic. I ended up going with this DAC from the online reviews and it measures well too. The noise floor is black in tracks with silence in them. |

If you are going to go to Schiit, then the Gungnir Multibit is also an R2R that receives excellent reviews and under $1000. However, no tubes in either the Yggdrasil or Gungnir.

Best Dac under $2k?

The delta-sigma is $899, Multibit bumps it to $1299. |

Schiit is now selling Yggdrasil GS (garage sale). Two Analog 1 cards in an otherwise complete new-production Yggdrasil for $1599. I’m not quite sure how I feel about a used board, but that’s a great price!

That is a great deal. It also includes the Gen5 USB card in lieu of the newer Unison USB card. While I find the Unison card smoother the Gen5 card is compatible with older Wintel computers.

I’d save the tubes for the amp.

I had the Gen 5 USB on my Gungnir and upgraded to the Unison. It sounded horrible so I sent it back to be “downgraded” back to Gen 5. I don’t know if it was a defective board or wonkey software, but when I got the Gen 5 back, all was right with the world again. |

Bummer. It’s too bad you had to hassle with shipping and everything. I upgraded from Gen 5 to Unison myself and it went smoothly.
