Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs

I'm sure the Gumby is competent, but I have a hard time believing that it is 90% of the Yggy. Very hard. 

Not to harp on this point, but for anyone interested, Bel Canto historically produced (very good) tube products, built around the human voice. They stopped building tube products, and now they create units with Class D. No, its not all tube-sounding, and I would not want it to be. But "musical", natural, fast, and "involving" would be proper descriptors. 

Didn't they divide off into Bel Canto and Wavelength?

1graber2 , me too , maybe 90% too high, there is also a comparison , by audiofriends it was a blind testing, they choose the Gumby 2x thinking it was yagdrassil....

FWIW and just my .02 regarding Gumby vs Yggy prior to my purchasing the Yggy I asked Schiit what the difference is. They replied that only the power supply was the differentiator . However, if you check the specs on their website the two use different DAC chips, with different bit depth capability. 

Bel cantos roots started with Vacuum tube, John Strosner knows his stuff.
this 2.7 i compared with the Schitt Yaggs-2 and I thought the Bel canto was better side by side in musicality, the Yaggs on some music may ge theleading edge a hair better, but the Bel canto sounds more alive and real with excellent depth of image ,as well as micro details.it took a solid 24 + hours if not more to get primed. I have not purchased it yet but plan to very soon. The 2.7
uses the Burr  Brown  dacs, and has Dual Femto clocks Most dacs  still don’t have these,Jitter , noise floor, Super quiet. This unit as well as the yaggs I am told 
take more then 300 hours to fully runin .  The 100 step digital preamp to runin direct is pretty respectfully ,not quite as good as a good seperate preamp 
but very decent in resolution ,just a bit softer sounding ,a bit of less leading edge
but n dac form Excellent , I heard the mojo2 dac prettygood detail as well as audio mirror, but not as complete .I owned the $5k luxman, as well as ps Audio top  dac . Which  
has trade offs maybe a bit more detailed but not For  everyone  .the Bel canto 2.7 is a steal !! I would rather have a bit warmer presentation ,especially with redbook CDs.it doesnot do DSD recordings- which for me could care less, Mqa either .
everyone has a opinion. Have a listen . Dedicated audio gives a 30 day return .
just let it play for  2 weeks I am told ,100 hours online others said no way .
