Nope. Haha.Wow! The Labkable Titan AU is so expensive $2300. Is it worth the money?

I am not one to make assumptions too far, but when you mention "enormous soundstage expansion" I immediately thought of this cable reviewed by Linus in Headfonia.
The Labkable Titan AU.
@ctsooner22- I like the Pono balanced, though getting balanced cables at this time is impossible (no one else uses the same balanced connectors-Sony did for a minute, but changed to the current version). For amps, I do like the Cavelli Liquid Carbon (sorry I didn't get a Liquid Gold when they were clearing them out, it is great sounding). I also have a modded (Mojo Audio, who also make a very well reviewed DAC) MicroZOTL2 which is great for driving lots of headphones.
The Yggy seems to have straddled speaker and headphone audiophiles...a good friend (with a $20k Soundlab speaker set up, Krell amp, and other associated gear, down to cables, footers, room treatment), went to a Yggy as his DAC, and it sounds great! Would be considering it myself, fell deep into the LH Labs rabbit hole, waiting on a TOTL server, DAP and DAC from them (if they ever produce anything...signs of life stirring there after 3 years).
Some folks here are old Speaker based audiophiles, some just find headphone listening so much easier...
Making me drool, guys, just waiting to receive my Phantom...

Nope. Haha.
When the diminishing return kicks in I‘m out. I wouldn’t even buy them if I had the money ... ok, that’s a lie, I would buy everything and more
Theory vs. realityMore like this, right? I was so happy with my first cheap portable stuff until I started learning about the more expensive stuff, suddenly I wanted more and more.....LOL
Nope, this one is all new. I was only able to hear the prototype, but the real thing will be at CanJam SG. I tried the Titan (forgot whether it was the Au or the Ag), but I found it really underwhelming for the insane price. Staging and precision is nothing special compared to its fellow flagships - like the Effect Audio Horus or the PWAudio 1960s - and it’s off-puttingly bass-y. If you’re into a more mid-focused signature, you’ll be instantly taken aback by the sheer forwardness of the bass compared to the midrange, as well as those sparkly highs. As a flagship, it’s a no-go for me.
