I recently had the chance to hear a Denafrips Pontus II (not 12th anniversary) and while pleasant, I felt it literally slowed the music down by like 10%. Very interesting. Not sure if it's my jam. BUT it did cause me to look at the Denafrips website, which got me thinking about their Iris DDC...

Hello everyone, newbie to head-fi here: This isn't meant to be a serious (nor fair) comparison, so let's start at that: it was recorded on my iphone 11, and the main reason I shot this was to help me find out which Multibit DAC I like better. I found that even though there are youtube videos...

Hi After owning the Gumby A1 for more than a year I got the courage and finally bought Yggy version A1. I read a lot about differences, and that some people prefer the gumby. So I was a bit hesitant to pull the trigger. But i am so so happy that i did. To me Yggy is superior to the Gumby in...

Hello, friends! I'm looking for the best amplifier for my mdr z1r headphones, now I listen to music with oppo ha2 se, but I feel that I would like a little better sound. I am looking for a desktop amplifier, not portable. While leaning towards the Sony brand amplifier ta-zh1es, I liked it...

I've been trying for about a year, off and on, to find the right upgrade for this combo. I am currently using a Yggdrasil (1st addition), and it's currently being upgraded to an Analog 2 by Schiit. The original Yggdrasil combination is very good, but I think I can do better. I may be going in...

Since the old thread is unrecoverable, having descended too far into off-topic arguments, I'm starting a new thread. Note for conspiracy theorists: "I" does not mean "they". I did this of my own volition. I am not staff. People who are considering buying a product like to read customer...

I am 38 years old and a child of the 80s. While I played around with vinyl a little, I grew up on CDs. I want my digital music to sound like digital music - not analog. I like my music to sound "Hi-Fi". I don't think that's a dirty word. I am learning to avoid devices that are described as...

Precursor: I've been dragging my heels on this review for months and months. Something something working 60-70hr weeks is not conducive to the hobby. So what I'm going to do is just copy and lay out snippets and pieces of what I've got, and hopefully you guys will ask me questions which will...

Hi gang, Looking to pick up a used Yggy, preferably in black. Must be willing to ship to Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. PM me if interested. Thanks!

Got my Yggy today and I'm happy to report that there are no USB issues with the 5K iMac, waking from sleep or otherwise.     I repurposed my Gungnir too -- ended up with a Raspberry PI 2 + Hifiberry Digi+ > SPDIF RCA to BNC > Gungnir > WA6 > TH-900. I shouldn't be at this point, but...
