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

It's probably real nice sounding, but no I2s to connect my Jay's cdt2-mk3, so I will never   
I want more bass…
@falconquest  Just looked at your system. Very nice equipment! My speakers have double 10" woofers and go down to 25 hz, not as low as yours  at 18 hz. Regardless, having dual subs, mine go down to 14 hz, seems to allow the speakers to open up mo...

I know it's not a big audiophile thing to do, but every speaker will benefit from dual subs, regardless of how low the speakers go.   
The Forgotten
Ascend Acoustics speakers. Wyred4sound preamps and dacs. Gustard dacs. Jay's CD transports. Sangea HD fm tuners.  
What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey
IMO, the main problem the OP had in his journey is changing that many pieces of equipment in such a short period of time. It made it nearly impossible for him to learn what piece of equipment did what. The way he did it had to lead to total confus... 
Best sounding FM table radio ever made...

My Sangean HD radio is right down incredible broadcasting the UT radio station here in Austin. Just as good as high quality streaming for under $200. No joke.  
Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined?
I did not renew my subscriptions with both TAS and Stereophile. Too much speaking up products of companies who advertise with them. Don"t need that.  
New Pink Floyd release
Zzzzzz.....  
How much should I spend on a new DAC
Jamnesta brought up a super interesting option, the brand new Gustard a26. After looking into it, it would be my first choice if I move away from the x26. Gustard is really putting the pressure on the competition.   
How much should I spend on a new DAC
@soix  Thanks for spending time talking to me about the values of the r26. If you read all the reviews on the Amazon link you provided, you will see a couple of very negative ones regarding obvious sound issues probably due to some manufacturing ... 
How much should I spend on a new DAC
@soix  I'm aware. I read all the hoopla about the r26 upon its release. Obviously this is Gustard's way to go with the flow as to not miss on any sales. I get it. However, in my system and room, the r2r ultimately did not give me the clarity that... 
How much should I spend on a new DAC
I agree that separate streamer and dac would do you a lot of good. However I would put the brakes on the r2r recommendations for a dac. I had an Ares II and then bought a delta sigma Gustard X26 PRO and ended up selling the Ares II. No doubts that... 
The problem with absorption panels- it kills the fine details
@pedroeb  It would be so helpful to see your system and listening room. It might help understand your disdain of room treatment better.
