Hi guys! I've been using the Yggy A2 for a while now and I really like it. However I have a slight problem - the output of the Yggy is too loud. Now that I have a new transport (the Pi2Design PI2AES) it outputs even louder signal to my amp. The chain is as follows: PI2AES Volumi => Grimm TPR...

Hi guys! Just received the last peace of my audio equipment puzzle - the PI2AES transport. I have hooked it to the Yggy A2 through AES/EBU XLR and then to the V281 with XLR cables (Grimm TPR). I can't believe how well the V281 scales with better and better source signal. I could easily hear how...

Hi guys. I decided I'll go for the AES input of the Yggy, so I'm waiting for my PI2AES transport to arrive soon. Thanks for suggesting the AES input. Additionally I bought Grimm TPR XLR cables which I currently use as interconnects for the Yggy A2 => V281 connection with HD800S. I'm really happy...

Keep in mind that I haven't actually heard the Yggy or the Gumby before bying. I'm very happy with the Yggy, but still haven't heard the Gumby. I know some people that may prefer it. My decision is based on my experience with other DACs (the full range of Chord DACs, Benchmark DAC3, Metrum Onyx...

I have heard the v800 (which people say is very similar to v850) in a shop and had the Rme for almost a month before returning it. I couldn't find difference between the v800 and my Fiio X3 II player used as a DAC (the Fiio is much cheaper) on the v281 and HD800S. So, I was disappointed with...

Hi guys, it seems I will be joining the Yggy club soon as my unit will arrive in a few days. I've ordered a new unit, so it will be USB Gen5 and Analog 2. I have a question about the inputs of the Yggy. Which input will be better between the USB and SPDIF? Option 1 (Preferred): Buy a DigiOne...

Hello, here are my impressions of the event. Keep in mind that I've never been to such event before and I went all the way from Bulgaria for it. I was really eager to try the Schiit Gungnir and Schiit Yggdrasil but they were not there. Also I wanted to try some top tube amps and was hoping I...

Hi guys, I plan to visit CanJam in London this year, but as it will be my first event of this type I have some questions. 1. I use HD800S at home and it will be great if it it possible to try the gear on the event with the same headphones. Do you think the HD800S will be at the event and it...

Hi, I just got my Metrum Onyx a few days ago and so far I'm very impressed by it. I was wondering if getting a Matrix X-SPDIF 2 and feeding the Onyx through the AES or the SPDIF will improve the sound? If yes, is the AES or the SPDIF preferable? I have heard that the USB input of the Onyx is...

Thank you very much for this response. It's nice to hear someone else had similar experience. I also often feel that my head will explode and not feeling particularly happy in this journey anymore. It's starting to take too much effort and time. On some occasions I wonder if it will be better...

I will definitely listen to the ADI-2 more. Actually, today it seems to sound better for some reason. Nevertheless, the unpleasant harsh bright treble is still there depending on the song. I think Qutest and ADI-2 will meet at my place as the return period for the ADI-2 is 30 days (still 27...

Hi again. We discussed DACs for the v281 earlier. I'm the guy that couldn't detect a difference between Fiio X3 II DAP as a DAC and a Violectric v800. Some of you suggested RME ADI-2 or Chord Qutest for the v281. My exploration of DACs for the v281 got weirder and even more controversial. I had...

What would you suggest instead? Also, do you have similar impressions about the v281?

Mainly because that is the one that my local store have, so I could audition it. Also, it has good reviews overall.

Here are some more thoughts on the v800 sounds the same as Fiio X3 II matter with the v281 and HD800S. The reviews I read about the v800 are reviewing it with the USB input usually. Here is a quote from the Headfonia review, although it's for the v850, but it should be fairly similar with the...
