Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better

I have the latest (2023) Yggdrasil Less is More and I love it on my office system. The office has the Magnepan LRS+ speakers and a slightly warm DAC works nicely.

In my Livingroom, I am looking for a bit less warmth from the DAC (and amp). Has anyone heard the new Yggdrasil More is Better? I was planning on spending a bit of coin on a DAC, but I now realize that I can get better bang for my buck with an amp upgrade instead. I am thinking of the soon to be updated CODA System 150 amp.

I base this conclusion on the quality of the LIM DAC. I think getting better than this DAC is either diminishing returns or just another flavor. So, I am wondering how the LIM compares to the MIB? 

Anyone using the MIB and what gear are you pairing it with? I need to sell some gear to raise the cash for a DAC, so before I sell anything and do a 14-day home trial, I wanted to see what people are using the MIB with and the level of happiness.

I never got the Yggy, but did own the Gungnir a few years ago.

It was a very good DAC, close to my Ayre Codex.

Schiit makes some good gear at great prices.

However,  I made a leap of faith and bought a Brinkmann Nyquist 2. It was more than I would normally spend, but, another audiophile who I respect bought one and sang it's praises. Since we both share similar experiences with equipment, I bought it. And, I have to say it is all that it is said to be.

There are other manufacturers out there, like MSB, and in a similar price range. So, I will say that if you are serious about digital sound reproduction, please give them a listen. It seems that you really have to spend around $10K to get to this level, but if you are patient, I bet it will be coming down in the future as digital is in it's infancy.
