Please let me know how it compares also. I am tired of Yggdrasil and Mjolnir and audioquest cables and crap. I want my simple and small solution days back.

Somebody technically advanced enough should help us build a music library. :D we can always go there to get new music suggestion.

@Jason Stodard please see this.

Hey you awesome bunch of people, I have this question always, could not get an answer. I have a Yggdrasil ana 2 DAC, I use a 550 WPC beefy amp to go with a KEF LS50. Now my system is too bulky and I wanna make it small and easy to move. I wanna sell my preamp and amp and buy a Ragnarok. I get an...

For the longest time I wanted a simple and cheap balanced vol control (SYS eqv; to run from my yggy 2 to XPA 2). Please. That reminds me of another controversial topic. How much do u think the potentiometer in vol control matter in sound quality? I seem to read a lot about that. Benchmark...
