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.

Oopsie -- forgot to include the link to the Stereophile review I referenced above. It's here: https://www.stereophile.com/content/holoaudio-spring-kitsuné-tuned-edition-level-3-da-processor |
Ive heard both and prefer the Schiit Yggy ... it is just a bit more organic sounding ... its got the Analogue Devices chip as I'm sure you know. dont be put off by the lower priced Yggy than the Brooklyn, you probably know that Schiit sells factory direct, so the $2500 price tag would be more like $5000 at a brick and mortar store. my point? great value |
I recently went through this process with the Mytek, the Yggy and the PS DSJ and went with the PS which is also upgradeable. The conclusion I came to was that its largely a matter of personal taste and system characteristics - ie are your speakers highly resolving, or forgiving. If they are on the resolving end of the spectrum, you will likely hear some difference. If not, you likely wont. The PS also offers a trial period. I think shipping (unlike the Yggy is free) and once you factor in that PS will credit you retail on trade up to a ~1/3 of the price of what you are buying, its not that much more expensive. Good luck |
