RE: Yggdrasil? Gungnir Multi? Anyone?

For about one month now I have been living with the Yggdrasil. I use it in conjunction with a Marantz NA 11S1 network device. The ethernet to SP/DIF bridge in the Marantzhas a tap out before the DAC to feed an external DAC if desired. I purchased a AudioGD Reference 1 dac about 5 years ago. Like the other three units in the series it uses 8 AD1704 DACs and sounds outstanding. The Marantz sounded very good, but not as good as either of the multibit DACs, mostly in sound stage presentation.

I decided to replace the AudioGD with a new design mostly because of the heat generated in this unit. After over five years of use I wondered how much longer the electrolytic caps last in that oven. I replaced the AudioGD with the Yggdrasil and so far I am more than satisfied with the change.
