I don't have vocabulary to describe the differences. The +GS2 is beginning its' 'warm-up', the +MIB has been warming up nearly a month. The BF2/64 has been great in my system, but with the +MIB.....no going back.

I'd keep it. Keeping my BF264.

I'll have to admit that I did not become interested in modern jazz for another twenty years after this was a recording. At 10:30 A.M. I think I can say it is never too early for modern jazz.

+GS2 delivered powered up playing solo acoustic bass via AES/EBU/ML31 and Ragnarok2/speakers. In contrast to +MIB, power on/chassis/transformer noise out of the box is minimal and tolerable. Grins!

...As to the side note, not all Schiit remotes stick to each other, some oppose.

love me some PBJ...wow, too cool

favorite instrument being played by a favorite musician

...Ragnarok 2 is playing the speakers just fine...Good Sweet Schiit...Shostakovich via Jarrett

second the tube pre-amp idea.

Ragnarok 2 delivered past Friday. Plan is speaker amp in the other room. Currently set up in place of the Mjolnir 3 and Freya + and old speaker amp with old speakers. Listen with LCD2 on Mjolnir and Yggdrasil/Urd. That is good. Too soon to say anything about LCD2 balanced Rag, the Mjolnir is so...

an hour and a half after delivery, Ragnarok2 brings a smile, pushing speakers, with Urd and Yggdrasil. Dave Holland Quintet, Not for Nothing'

Just finished a coffee...listening to Gould doing Bach....fogged in maybe sunshine later

I placed an order for +GS2 yesterday, I'm sure theyre'l be Zero issues as well. My +MIB is warming nicely May29.24. Schiit.Site.shows PAID.shipssoon! May31.24. Delivered.Powered up

Took the hint! ordered one yesterday, arrives tomorrow Sat 25

Mt Tam has been a favorite of mine as well. As I see it you can order a gift box on line and have it shipped overnight FedeX, coordinating with the recipient to be home for the delivery.

...and keep them short. 2/0 marine grade, hard enough to work with

Sweet! at that time I was enamored of Gerhard's designs...original Avanti...dreaming

Under a high fog layer currently, was 55*F and 100% humidity, gradually changing to 58*F and 85% humidity, might get to 76*F if the fog breaks...so good California weather today. Listening to 'WorkingMan's Dead' via Mjolnir and Yggdrasil and Urd.

Out of curiosity what are you considering as 'more energetic cans'?

Starting to get positive impressions of the Schiit Yggdrasil, in place of the excellent Bifost2/64. USB from URD balanced to the dual preamps, Freya+/Mjolnir, balanced to the Ayre V3/Alon 5.

I did hastily jump to this conclusion. However after two days in it's box, and then a start-over, with location change and space between other components, the unit mechanical/transformer noise seems to be quieting down. I will keep the Yggdrasil.

Rain has moved on south from north bay. See some blue amid broken cloud banks, and strong wind

This was transformer hum. The unit hummed whether it was connected to another device or not. Pulled the power cord, it stopped humming. No signal hum. I could detect hum through the open headphones during quiet passages, turn the volume up and mask the hum.

Took delivery of Yggdrasil MIB on May 2, 2024. Has been powered on since 1230pm on May 2. I've listened to a selection of CD via URD, Freya+, Mjolnir3. The Yggdrasil has sonic potential, but this unit is a Hum-Monster, gave me a headache. Replaced the Bifrost2/64 into the system, and it is a...

Thank you Schiit Audio for the delivery of Yggdrasil. Powered on.
