Out of curiosity, is anyone aware of comparisons between the BF2 and the more expensive Schiit offerings? I am particularly keen to learn how it compares to the Yggdrasil.

There is a discussion here (read the 10-20 posts that follow):I haven't play with the ability to invert phase via the remote too much. What does everyone think about this feature?
I wish there were more comparisons, YouTube videos, etc. between Yiggy A2 and BF2.
Hence, I want a SE only (best SE outputs Schiit can make) DAC, similar in footprint to BF2, with a DAC setup that is better than Yiggy A2. I think this would be amazing at Chord Qutest prices between $1700-$2000.
- I feel BF2 is newer with Unison and Autonomy and a remote.
- I feel Yiggy A2 (and especially Gungnir MB) are "long-in-the-tooth" products at this point. A bit stale. As soon as I buy YA2, Schiit will introduce the A3. I just know it.
- Yiggy A2 SE outputs are not as good as BF2 SE outputs from what I keep reading. This is a deal breaker for me as my NAIM amp accepts RCA and DIN only.
- Balanced XLR outputs mean schiit to me.
- I prefer the BF2 form factor.
- But I want the best DAC implementation Schiit can make.
At least you get your money's worth with the Yggy; instead of a tiny metal block with the Qutest
I'm in the same boat as you. I want to replace the DAC in my headphone system, but feel sure the Yggy is due a refresh. I suspect at whatever time they do it, they'll make it modular. Crazy that cheaper DACs are and their flagship is not...
The Yggy is modular. They are on rev 2 of the modular boards aka Analog 2.
I can give you some impressions this week I have the BF2, D90, BHC, MOGWAI OG, Pendant and a Matrix i3Pro incoming...
Hey! It was an enjoyable pairing. I ended up trading it and getting a more neutral detailed Dac in the matrix Element X. I prefer to have more neutral DACs with wide stage and choose amps or tubes to add the flavor. I am finishing up my review and comparisons of the D90 to a few other DACs then I will be listing that one up for sale most likely too.Any update on your review? I ended up with the Chord Qutest currently but still interested in your impressions with the BF2/BHC pairing.
