Schiit Yggdrasil Less is More, is it a quality dac ?

Hi, I am very interested in the Schiit Yggdrasil Less Is More dac

I am wondering if it can compete with Gustard r26 or Denefrips Pontus to name a few, also as I live in a remote region of the world, how is the quality, construction vise?

Anyone have any experience with this dac ?

Ps. I use a Primare Dac30 and have enjoyed it for many years, but was wondering if something better was out there that doesn’t cost crazy money.

Thanks

The Yggdrasil is a very good FAC for the money. I went through a detailed analysis of DACs in this price range for a friend and concluded that the Yggdrasil competed in sound quality with DACs twice their price (I have been at this for fifty years and am very good at ferreting the right components with the right sound). I bought a Gungnir for my office and my friend bought the Yggdrasil. I have several much more expensive DACs and I can highly recommend it.

Bottom line compared to DACs in its price range. YES.

yes the yggy does not embarrass itself in its price class in terms of sound and build quality - it does have a certain sound signature and some ergonomic foibles

yes.  I'd pick it over either of the ones you mentioned.
