EXOGAL Comet or Shitt Yggdrasil DAC

There is a lot of information available on the Yggy, less so on the Exogal Comet.

I own both, with the Comet paired to the Ion.

There is some good, though limited discussion over at computer audiophile exogal drops the other shoe

It would be helpful if you can provide more detail about your system, needs, music preferences, etc. etc.

And anything specific regarding DACs in general or each specific model.

For me, and given my system chain....

In short (and with all the caveats such generalizations entail):

The Yggy is slightly 'in my face,' more visceral. And fun!

The Comet-Ion duo get out of the way. Very smooth, clean and easier to live with for longer listening sessions.

Both are enjoyable to my ears and sensibilities. I like both and recommend both.

Thanks for your thoughts. david_ten nudged me to the Comet, smooth, clean and easy to live with.

There is another as Darth Vader has said. The Aqua La Voice is one of the most musically involving dac at under $3k not for the SACD crown, but this is one engaging dac and then there is also the Mytek Brooklyn which offers much more in terms of features then either the Exogel or the Yggy and costs only $2k.
