My main interest is the gadget. I've been reading about it for what seems like a couple years so whatever form gets it to market first has my vote.

Received my Yggy upgrade (Analog 2 + USB Gen 5) a few days ago. While it certainly took a while (I ordered as soon as it became available) I am happy with the results. While I do not have an original Yggy to do a pure A/B comparison, my subjective opinion is that the Yggy sounds a bit smoother...

I'm guessing they are backed up a bit. I got my RMA notice on April 10th and sent my Yggy in right away. Received an e-mail that my DAC arrived at Schiit on April 13th. Have not heard anything since.

Essentially identical to this: https://www.diablocable.com/18196.html

I concur. Based on an old CA thread I hopped on the fiber optic train about a year and a half ago. Have a fiber optic switch, a bunch of FMC's and a few fiber NIC's. I can relate to having the tinkering gene.

Life on the bleeding edge of this nutty hobby. Roll with the punches and enjoy the journey...

Mentioned this on another site but thought I would comment here as well. Just purchased a Schiit Eitr for 2nd system but spent some time with it in my primary system (Rednet D16>Mutec MC3+>Yggy with Antelope liveclock/Cybershaft external clocking). The Eitr did not usurp the tricked out Rednet...

That may have been me as I went thru an external clock binge about a year ago. I think I also mentioned that while I noticed an improvement we are talking small incremental changes and not night and day stuff. Not nearly the sq improvement in my system as the RedNet D16 or Mutec were. Cherry on...

  Sure, the Mutec 3 will reclock but my understanding is that the MC-3+USB is actually a later generation product with some additional features (not same product with addition of USB interface). I have not heard the Mutec 3 so hopefully someone who has heard both side by side can provide...

My opinion is that the Rednet clock is actually pretty good. Having both external clock(s) along with Mutec I would advise getting the Mutec first. The Mutec really is a very flexible audio swiss army knife.

I heard about this a few months ago but looks like it is now available for for Hilo and Aurora DAC/ADC products from the usual Pro Audio Places (Sweetwater etc..)   http://www.lynxstudio.com/product_detail.asp?i=80     So Burl B2 Bomber has Company. Guessing we will see more positive moves...

  I am by no means pushing a transport on anybody.  The D16 is staying in my system and will continue to be the mainstay of my Computer Audio system. I was just really surprised that the Yggy/PWT combo sounded as good as it did.  As mentioned, I find the sq essentially identical to Rednet...

To be honest, I did not even think about that combo but I can put it on my list of things to try out....

  Well, in the order of SQ "Improvements" I would rank my gadgets as follows:   1) Rednet D16 2) Mutec MC-3 + USB 3) Clocks (Antelope Liveclock and Cybershaft)   The Clocks come in a distant third. Since the Yggy cannot use an external clock the benefits are strictly on improvement over...

Before I purchased my RedNet D16 I had a Sonore Microrendu. My opinion of the uRendu was very positive - best USB connection I've had but not up to AOIP.  Since then the Uptone LPS-1 has become very popular and many have said that the uRendu needs higher end LPS to bring out its best. So I...
