Qutest vs Yggdrasil Analog 2 vs Gungnir Multibit

Qutest vs Yggdrasil Analog 2 vs Gungnir Multibit

Has anybody heard this group of DACs that can shed some light on how they stack up against each other?

I currently have a Gungnir Multibit that I swap between my main system and my desktop system but the swapping is getting old so it's time to pick up a second DAC for the main stereo and let the Gumby stay put with the desktop setup.

I love the Gumby and not against a second if I come across a black one. My main system is all black components and I'd like to keep it that way. Getting a DAC that I already own is kind of boring though and I'm intrigued by the Qutest and the new Yggy so I'm leaning towards those. I was looking at the Brooklyn+ also but I've heard it's bright and I don't want to move in that direction. I've heard the original Yggy can be bright too.

Any feedback helps! Thanks

Thanks. I'm quite fond of the Schiit sound. The filter modes (Neutral, Neutral HF roll-off, Warm, Warm HF roll-of) on the Chord peak some interest. I wonder if the Warm filters would give the Chord a more laid back sound option. Not sure how drastic the filters are but they do add some versatility. I like the idea of a DAC that can be shaped to fit different music. The Yggy 2 is mighty attractive though.

I'm shying away from anything with preamp or headphone capabilities. I'm not a fan of having extra circuitry and features that I would never use. I once steered away from an integrated that I was interested in specifically because it had inputs for Tape, Tuner, AV, and CD. All components that I would never have hooked up to the system. It's silly but that's one thing I love about my Rega integrated. Inputs 1-5, no labels. I'm nitpicky.
