I just can’t do it - A2 just sounds like a warm muffled blanket with detail on top to me after almost a year of LIM. I think it’s probably just down to synergy - HD800/BHA-1/USB nervosa. Dunno. Either that or I’m just too sensitive to blackground. Regardless, it was spot on of Schiit to market them as “flavors.”
Totally agree. I could see myself liking the LIM more in another system. Strangely, I've still yet to find a single person who's crazy about the MIL...
I went through the same process and fell for the smooth tone and background, and bought a LIM. It took me a couple weeks owning one to miss all that resolution. I don't hear the lack of background unless I directly a/b the A2 to another DAC
I read an interview with Moffat some time ago where he said the A2 was the best he would probably do without resorting to stuff like silver wiring or fancy boutique parts. Things change though, an actual upgrade to the Yggdrasil would be interesting to see.
