It's not just about what you can afford. Yggy and Rag have requirements (size, power, always on) that don't fit some situations, and whatever your audio budget, there are always different ways of slicing it to fit your wishes and constraints. I have on order speakers and cables to upgrade my living room speaker system that are much more expensive than Yggy+Rag would be, because for me, $$$ spent on transducers (headphones or speakers) have given a lot more value than the same $$$ spent on better DACs and amps, once those are reasonably competent. The Buber -> Bimby upgrade was a no-brainer at the price, and I'm super-happy with the results. And to heap more credit on Schiit, when I asked them for the best next step for my headphone setup, Nick advised getting better headphones, which I did, with great results. The quality I'm getting from Bimby + Asgard 2 + MrSPeakers Alpha Primes is high enough that I can't be bothered with the hassles of possible upgrades (well, I might not resist listening to the Ether Cs when they show up at my friendly dealer...). There will always be gaps between electronic reproduction and live music, which for me are best filled by going to more live shows. To paraphrase Jason in his latest chapter, audio gear is a means, not an end.
