Between MM2 and Gen 5, there was supposedly a 1.5 level jump

It would also be great if the cable listings had a searchable field for length 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
Gdhal-Good that you recognize that the balanced output of the Yggy might be better than the SE.  I understand your desire for an apples to apples comparison with the Oppo, but I think an equally valid comparison is "best" to "best".  Certainly, if... 
Dac upgrade?
I went from an HRT to a Bifrost.  It was clearly better, and that was before Multibit.  The Multibit upgrade was substantial, and i think essential at this point.  If Spotify Premium is 44.1kHz/16bit, I'm sure you will hear a large difference. 
ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?
@tomic601 Yes, both were fully broken in.  The LS28 I bought new on the trade-in deal this summer and it has about 1,000 hours on it.  The REF6 was purchased used and had about 3,000 hours when I put it in the system and compared it to the LS28. 
ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?
My system (Yggy>REF6>ARC150SE>ML-CLX and BF210)  
ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?
@tomic601  I have a nearly new LS28 sitting in a box I can sell you for the comparison, lol.I will say, it is 90% of the REF6 that replaced it, in my system (Yggy>REF6>ML CLX and BF210).  Very much cut from the same cloth.  Just lacks some d...

What sample rate should I choose?
@djf1  I second shadorne's recommendation of BitPerfect.  Changes resolution for you, but also makes the sound better.  Clearer for sure.  Best $9.99 I have spent on audio, other than buying music. @fstein 192 is clearly better (albeit with dimini... 
What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?
Martin-Logan CLS IIz  ... the entire time 
Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?
I think you made a wise decision.  Will be interested to know what you think after you get it ... 
Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?
MB upgrade of Bifrost requires return of unit to Schiit, as they need to flash upgrade the software on the main board (EPROM?), I think ... 
Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?
@ghosthouse Yes, the Yggy was only released as MB.Questions about money are always dependent on the value you place on things, and your economic situation. So I will not address absolute "worth". Relative "worth" is easier. I think it would be as ... 
Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?
Hi Ghosthouse-I had an stock BiFrost that I then upgraded to Uber, and then multi-bit, when it became available.It has been over a year, so can not give many of the fine details, but:1. MB was a much bigger upgrade than Uber.2. Like wtf, the thing... 
Difference between Schiit Modi Versions
I agree, my Bifrost Multibit is unbelievable, as well.  Has me listening to digital music seriously for the first time in my life.I would definitely go for the Modi Multibit-j
