If you want to hear the typical Sabre glare on the DAC+ or Liberty try the optical in. For some reason both DACs are unlistenable for me on optical in but the USB input does not have the glare.
When I was using the Brooklyn+ at my workstation I had to use a Schiit Bifrost just for the Toslink connection to my TV on my multi-monitor stand. I complained to Mytek and sent the unit back to NY to be checked out and they said it was fine.
I have no clue why Mytek can't make a product whose varied audio inputs do not sound equal. If Schiit can do it Mytek should also.
Anyone contemplating spending $2000 - $3000 for a DAC should not forget to consider the Yggy A2. Unlike Mytek it is modular and can be upgraded so no planned obsolescence.
Schiit has already talked about their new proprietary USB implementation that is in beta testing now. I don't expect to see it offered as an upgrade until late in 2019 though ... they are still upgrading Yggys to Analog 2. Mike starts talking about their new USB 24 minutes into this video:
