Interesting timing for me as I upgraded my Gungnir a few weeks ago to the original Yggdrasil. I have all ARC gear otherwise and then a few weeks later a matching silver DAC 8 pops up for sale. I couldn't resist and got it for the aesthetics. I felt there was an improvement but admit by subjectiveness was likely driving by loving the look next to my Phono 2SE It definitely was not worse. There are so many different combinations of the Yggdrasil as well that makes it a tough as well. I only use coax FWIW. They both seem to be solid DACs with good reputations so you could sell whichever one you like less.
