Oh… don't forget to mention the digital room correction you're using… 

LOL…    You & your Hypemeisters must be getting free Yggys-       Why do you keep on about this very good DAC being a huge giant killer ?  It's just not…    If you're so confident, why not have yours pro reviewed ?   Why not do a shootout w/ all these DACs you claim to know so well & get...

  Well red...   I do indeed hope you're able to hear & live w/ other more "TOTL amps & DACs" to compare…     So you'll realize how much insane BS & hype is still being spewed here… it's truly amazing… especially w/ homemade single driver speakers...   The Yggy is great… it doesn't beat...

  Have you heard/owned MSB ?  Granted, they like many 'audio jewelry' companies are overpriced somewhat, however they nearly never resell…. says a lot...   Another high priced DAC I'm dying to hear that has similar discrete ladder DAC 'modules' is TotalDAC… also not resold often...   Please...

  A top flight DAC will rival top flight analog…. we're talking very expensive… diminishing returns apply… go listen to 150-250K well set up systems...   Price "isn't everything" sort of… "in fact most pricing, especially of esoteric brands is illusion"… please give references of these...  ...

  Ok, finally I agree w/ a good portion of what you've said, haha...

Hey Yue-   When did your Yggy arrive ?  Are you loving it ?     You should come by...   David

  I see your point...   Mine is simple… I own one for 1.5 months… many have heard it at my house… sometimes side by side w/ other DACs….   I'm lucky to have owned & been exposed to lots of high-end gear….  our consensus is simple… hasn't changed… pretty sure anyone would agree…    Yggy is...

  Uh… no… all DACs are NOT "pretty even on the playing field"… PLEASE go to some high-end stores or audio shows… then report back….   Your comments are just silly…. do you really think that everyone who spends tons of money on audio gear (who by the way must be pretty smart to have earned all...

    Lui-   Good one !   Unfortunately just because they so…. don't make it true...   David

NO !  Absolutely NOT !      As I said above.. a statement DAC is min. 20K….   Can you name me anything that is "pretty darn close" to a 10x value ??  Even out of audio ?   Is a VW Golf pretty darn close to a Porsche 911 Turbo ?     Is an apartment in Brooklyn pretty darn close to a...

  Sorry HS… didn't see that other stuff..   You're right… good points-   Had about ten tire kickers, offers & a 'fake' offer I accepted… though still have it...   On the positive side… I think she continues to sound great & is definitely better w/ 'tweaks'… a Shunyata Digital PC, footers...

  Don't mean to sound rude…. you couldn't possibly have really heard the Yggy in 4 days… it takes far longer that 2 weeks to break-in… I'm curious what you mean by "natural presentation" please ?   imo, the Yggy DOES NOT sound like a very high-end turntable… it DOES sound like digital… it is...

The "glassy/steely treble" you're hearing dos NOT go away… if you leave the Yggy as is… and depending on your ancillary gear…    Yes, the sound continues to improve, however this is w/ the Yggy being the least expensive piece of gear, incl. cables, except for a few PCs….   I however, in my...

    HS-   Schiit clearly says… Yggy should be left on 24/7…. I think all DACs should be, perhaps unless they're tube based..   I am VERY unfamiliar w/ DACs in this price range, however a few have been brought over to compare...   Not that I'm in the market at this price range, however...

  If you're saying… does the Yggy compare to 10K+ DACs ?  The short answer is NO… why would it ?  What makes you say "ultra high end stuff" is overpriced… especially used ?   A "statement DAC worth several thousand" (under 10K ?) is an oxymoron…  a statement DAC would certainly be over 20K…...

Buy mine !

If you've looked, what are the specs for the fuse on the US model ?

Dang… that's not cool !!!     I'd send it back for a check-up… could reoccur or worse yet, blow up other gear maybe...   My Yggy took a few days to 'settle' after powering it off for only 1 hr… ymmv, haha..   When are you coming by btw ??   Gotta hear the set-up while it's here… since...

Thanks for the compliment...   It is difficult to put into words (at least for me) to portray how the Analog has all the detail, yet also manages to be organic & flowing in it's portrayal…  otoh, this is what you pay 'the big bucks' for… no, haha ?     The reasons I've kept comparing the...

Nice write ups llkmi !   Thanks for your compliment…  glad to be joined by another speaker 'weirdo', haha !   Wish I could write 'reviews' so well…  Being new here myself, I'm not sure how… however I believe it would be great to combine your posts (w/ a little bit shorter paragraphs please)...

My Yggy is up for sale on Agon…  Was an awesome month of bliss !

latter, 100%

I'm confused.. what do "cheaper" cables have to do w/ the excellent SQ of the Yggy ?  They certainly don't coincide.. nor should they coexist...

Thanks for the info & fuse test link !
