Yes that’s an older integrated. On the whole time has moved on I believe digital has moved WAY more than amplification. I would suggest trying a R2R dac. I’ve only tried one and it is an absolute cracker! Musician Aquarius. There are many and I make no claims as to it being the best.

I have an R200i as my main amp, into ATC SCM 19v2.

Have had Soekris 2541 recommended.

I went for the Gustard A22 as it suited my taste, and price.

A good DAC for the money is Schiit.

Though a Bifrost would probably sound better than what you have, I would opt for a Gungnir- very close to the Yggy.
