    YULONG DA1: Flagship All-in-One with AK4499, 5W Class A BAL headphones and Pre-Amp

    It is possible Yulong itself did not make or provide the descriptions on these sites. Here are the ones I read. This is on Shenzhen Audio's site, but it appears to be Yulong's promo for the theDac. It says there: "high power tube amplification"...

    YULONG DA1: Flagship All-in-One with AK4499, 5W Class A BAL headphones and Pre-Amp

    poject86, Yulong's description of the DA1 says it has a "high-power tube Class A amplification circuitry". Could you explain this? It does not use tubes it seems. I am not sure I want any tube sound added as I have always used solid state. I would appreciate any thing you could tell me about this.

    Over Ear Headphones...$200 max.

    Looking for closed over ear headphones that are wireless, but have optional wired ability is good. Mostly used indoors, but light enough for use with light biking or jogging. Fed by a Samsung S8 smartphone.

    New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil

    After reinstalling the usb drivers for the Yggy and reinstalling the drivers for my other usb devices I am happy to say that the usb sounds the best on my system. I had posted optical was better, so to avoid leaving the impression usb is a problem I am updating my findings. The Yggy now sounds...

    New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil

    Optical out of my Creative ZXR sound card is noticeably better than from usb. I prefer the Yggy to my previous dac with the optical, with usb I would take my other dac with optical or coax. With usb I get a degree of reserved vocals and slightly compressed sound with reduced decay. This is with...

    New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil

    A undermining fact of what I experienced is that now when I switch the phase inverter on and off I hear no difference, only during the first switching on and off. The dac sounds clear and full now though whether on or off.

    New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil

    Yesterday, after 30 hours, I was noticing better clarity and overall improvement and it was in many respects already sounding really, really good. In the last hours before the 30 mark I had begun to notice a glass layer that was atop the edges of higher ranges and especially certain female...

    I certainly would like to know if balanced is the only way to get the best from Yggy. I can't see buying any amp without balanced inputs if the balanced Yggy output is superior.

    Someone suggested the Coincident Turbo 845 SE integrated amplifier and it looks to be really nice, but has only rca input. The DiaLogue Premium HP Integrated Amplifier looks good too and has a headphone section and what they call " Adaptive Auto Bias" which appeals to me since I don't know about...

    I have been looking at a tube amp that does not have balanced inputs. The Yggy is supposedly best with balanced out. How much would be lost, if any, using a Xlr to rca cable? Should only an amp with balanced in be considered?

    Revel Performa3 F208's. Yes, I would like a headphone section. I am prepared to change my speakers though.

    Not experienced with tubes though I realize many swear by them.
