EXOGAL Comet or Shitt Yggdrasil DAC

Depends on what your listening to.
If your listening is PCM, be it Redbook CD 16/44 or 24/96, DXD, or even DVD-A then go for the Schiit Yggdrasil which is R2R Multibit conversion, the best way to convert PCM.

If you want to download DSD then you have no choice you have to go the Exogal that has delta sigma Bitstream conversion, but the PCM stuff will take a hit.

Quote MoJo Music.
" When a PCM file is played on a DSD or Bit Stream converter, the DAC chip has to convert the PCM to DSD in real time. This is one of the major reasons people claim DSD sounds better than PCM, when in fact, it is just that the chip in most modern single-bit DACs do a poor job of decoding PCM."

Hi larseand,

Read the reviews and if you can, bring both home for audition in your system. Then, decide with your ears.

Happy hunting!

There is a lot of information available on the Yggy, less so on the Exogal Comet.

I own both, with the Comet paired to the Ion.

There is some good, though limited discussion over at computer audiophile exogal drops the other shoe
