Save in the long run, you will never be completely satisfied with the lesser model now.[emoji573]

After doing some more thinking I originally came here to decide between the gmby and the gmby multibit but now I’m really thinking about the yggy.. Honestly, most of my music is streamed via a Node 2..is the yggy really going to make that much of a difference? The 21 bit vs the 19 bit and all the MRI/Millitary chip talk has me hook line and sinker.

rushca21.......All I can tell you is I would not trade my new Yggdrasil analog 2 version with the new Gen 5 USB for a Gumby, even if I got the difference in cost refunded to me. No way. The Yggdrasil DAC is remarkable. It is worth far more than its price.

Holy Schiit, the Yggy A2 I ordered just arrived and is burning in. Just in time for a long weekend! It will be a couple hundred hours before I can compare it to the Gumby fairly. Just turned on the stereo long enough to be sure music was going through; it sounds different. (I’m like all: Vapors, Waiting for the Weekend)

As per my earlier posts, I’m a fan of R2R— get the multibit whichever version.

I can’t wait to read this, this will be the first side by side that I know of with these two units.

The thing to keep in mind about the Yggy--as described by numerous reliable reviewers, including jdandy--it does not follow the normal economic rules of audiophiledom. It's performance/price ratio is so over the top that it makes sense "even" for a Node 2 (not to dis your source). At the risk of blasphemy on AA, the Yggy investment is a much better value than your McIntosh investment. Just go

I wouldn't short change your Node. I don't currently use one, (using BlueOs card in my M12) but when I had one I used it with it's analog out, and I literally A/B'd it against Aurender streamers and other Dacs costing 5 times the price and it was distinguishable to me.
