Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ or Schiit Yggdrasil?

The Schiit and Mytek are very very close in tone and resolution of low level detail. 

You can try the Schiit Yggdrasil for 15 days.  It will not have finished breaking in, but it is an advantage to see how a component performs in your system.  It is also up-gradable, and has already had upgrades to the USB and Analog boards.

Ideally you would get the Mytek in-house at the same time and compare, then tell us what you like better, and why (:->)

You may (or may not) find this recent piece from Stereophile's Herb Reichart of interest. (On Page 2, there's a bit about Mytek and Schiit DACs.)

I have a Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2SE and wouldn’t consider anything else. Several years ago I had it upgraded by W4S with improved caps, components and femto clock which puts the jitter down into the "don’t even worry about it" zone. Plus, it sounds very analog and has the I2S interface which I use with a PS Audio memory transport.

Why just these two?  The Metrum Onyx is in that price range and has more than a little technology trickled down from their upscale Pavane.  Non-upsampling, no filters, FPGA technology, and proprietary DACs.  Just another option to ponder.  Best of luck in your search.
