Gumby vs Yggy


So I recently tried a Schiit Gumby and was somewhat disappointed that it really didn’t sound much better than my Arcam irdac. I’m sending it back and was wondering if the Yggy would be a more significant upgrade. Perhaps my system isn’t revealing enough to appreciate the difference. I’ve downsized from B&W 801 S2, Threshold amp, Theta pre to my current setup: SVS Ultra bookshelves, Parasound amp and Schiit Saga pre.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The Yggdrasil will sound very different to the Gungnir.  Read the review in Absolute Sound.  Incisive is one adjective they use.  It's definitely not in the mellow camp.
