I don't remember the details offhand, it's been a while since I tested them. I went back and forth a few times and went with the converter and the balanced out because I'd bought it for a good price used and didn't see the point in selling it. You're not getting a stark difference; I'd say it was a minor, perhaps marginal, and it takes concentration to be aware of it. This is the kind of thing that, like comparing DACs, is probably best done by living with one setup in your chain for a week or two and then shifting over to the other, and giving yourself plenty of time to acclimate.
I'd say go ahead and not let the Yggy's SE output stop you getting an Aegis. It's not worth the nervosa. You could always try a converter down the line, as though you're tube rolling. You'd probably get better bang-for-buck changes to the sound from a tube roll anyway (I'm guessing, I've not heard an Aegis yet)!
