Yggdrasil sounds more natural, the internal DAC has an artificial exaggeration added to everything. It’s especially fun with electronic music. The exaggeration offsets some of the softness inherent to the HE1000, but with the Utopia it’s a bit too intense. Digititus alarms go off.
Got it. Thanks. Have you shared your impressions or comparison of the amp section anywhere? I only got to try it as a DAC/Amp and I was really impressed. I couldn’t really tell if the DAC was holding the amp section back or if it was integral to its performance. I was ready to buy it back in Nov. But it costs close to $7000 in India, even after discount. So I dropped the idea.
I'm sorry, I missed to respond sooner. It seems to be more than just the tariffs. Even in EU the 230V is way more exp than the 120V version in the US. Would love to read your impressions/comparison at some point.
