Schiit yggdrasil + Less Is More vs. Denafrips Pontus II

soix, Thanks for the recommendation. What is your experience with the Gustard R26? Have you heard the Yggdrasil or the Denafrips Pontus II?

@nutty I'm using the the Chord DAVE.  I do have a Schiit Bifrost II in my second system which I think is excelent for the price.

carlsbad2 - Thanks for the info. I originally set my sights on the Bifrost 2/64 but there is a 10 to 12 week backlog so Iooked at the Schiit LIM. Do you feel the Bifrost 2/64 is better than the LIM? 

I've owned both the Yiggy OG and Pontus II. Have not heard the less is more version or Pontus 12th, which is their current model.  Still own the Pontus which of the two I slightly prefer. Plus its $500 cheaper if you buy from Vinshine. But they are both great DAC's.  You'll be very happy with either one.

I own, and love, the Pontus II residing in my second/home office system. I'm currently comparing it with Gustard R26 and so far I prefer the Pontus. 

One thing to keep in mind that the Yiggy, at least the original version, does not play DSD or higher res files. I apologize if this information is no longer valid. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. But the Pontus plays higher resolutions including DSD files like a champ. It might not be relevant to you at this time, but always good to know that you can play hires or DSD in the future if you want to go in that direction.
