Battle of the Older DAC

Would this be a simple choice for you?

Looking at upgrading my DAC and at similar price points have options of an Auralic Vega (2013) and a Schiit Yggdrasil OG A2 (2018?)

I have heard the Auralic and it is impressive, but the reputation of the Yggy looks solid.

Would be keen to hear from anyone who has experience of both or if the choice is clearer that it appears to me.

As ever, would love to hear your thoughts.

I had this and the Chord Quest. They are both great for the price but quite different. Ended up feeding the RME right into my power amp. After much switching, it just sounded better - fuller bass, plenty of detail (though Chord beats it there) etc etc. I think you have to listen for yourself. The RME has a graphic equalizer and volume control, and a good clock if you are using USB.
