Sold my Ragnarok. Preferred the Audio-gd 6 even with the Yggy that I still have

Yes the Rag drives the HD800's superbly. Unfortunately for the Rag so does my M6 :)

Hi guys I have had the Ragnorak/Yddrasil for about 4 months now and just wanted to give my thoughts and comparisons to my Audio-gd NFB-7 and Master-6 combination that I have had for a few years. Even though the Yggy was ordered first the Ragnorak arrived first and was connected via balanced...

Or buy the HD800's and realize there is no need to mod them at all.  

  With good and synergistic amp & dac no EQ or modifications are required IMO  

  Good Sabre32 implementations don't need 'taming' and Audio-gd don't do bright or harsh sounding gear.    Unless you have a particular likeness for the R2R 1704 chip you will find that the NFB-7 would be an significant improvement over the DAC-19 which is exactly what it is meant to be given...

  To be fair no headphone amp will cost anywhere near the price of a TOTL speaker amp and no TOTL speaker amp is going to have the versatility with different headphones a headphone amp will.

"Don’t let the naysayer force you out of this thread. They are showing up EVERYWERE and think that they have the correct answer and the right to preach it, often without even testing/hearing the gear we are talking about (role nr1). Some of them don’t believe in SQ difference in DACs others in...

And those people have obvoiusly never heard the Hd800's, HE6's or probably the Abyss, though have not heard the Abyss.

I don't have the Master-9 but do use the Master-6 with the HD800's and LCD2.2's and it is anything but lackluster. I find it a very exciting, energetic and engaging especially with the HD800's.   I certainly would not expect the M9 to be any different.

I see the thought police have arrived again.    Boring....

  Had my pre fazor LCD2.2 for more than two years with no problems. Although I will admit they don't get a lot of head time.

  Really!!   Have not heard the Master-7 but my NFB-7 has eye blinking impact when required (far more than any PCM1704 DAC I have ever heard).   I certainly would not want any more impact and that is saying something from a rock/metal fan. 

  The Woo22 is generally too tubey for me, would need a lot of tube rolling for my tastes, have not heard the liquid glass but don't think it would be as tubey sounding from what I have read.   Have you thought about the Little Dot MK6+. Very powerful balanced tube amp that according to...
