Schiit Yggdrasil Less is More, is it a quality dac ?


Hi, I am very interested in the Schiit Yggdrasil Less Is More dac

I am wondering if it can compete with Gustard r26 or Denefrips Pontus to name a few, also as I live in a remote region of the world, how is the quality, construction vise?

Anyone have any experience with this dac ?

Ps. I use a Primare Dac30 and have enjoyed it for many years, but was wondering if something better was out there that doesn’t cost crazy money.

Thanks

Myself have heard 90% of most things out there being in a multi state audio get together the Yaggs is detailed and I owned the latest in 2020. It’s just so neutral 

i couldnot get over that the Pontus2 is very good ,some out there are having issues with a glitch the Gustard as a modded I looked in depth great build quality 

one thing to mention ,it’s sounds very good But a substantial upgrade is adding a 20 mm , 2.5 amp T ,synergistic purple fuse and any decent power cord , the Pangea sig mk2 with Cardas copper wire is $200 for a 1.5 m cable ,I owned all of the above in my 2nd system and the Gustard I still have it has 6 settings to also Taylor the sound ,realistic a solid 10% improvement ,and I found a guy in NY that gets them within a week or so and $600 ,very surprised .3 others gave me the tip 

on the Power cord and fuse . In my experience true reference dacs over $5k 

which I am saving for the T&A 200 dac for my main system .
