Some people do not hear much of a difference between DACs. I am not one of them and you do not appear to be either. I think the source and the DAC are hugely important and should usually cost at least as much as your amp.

Thanks for the detail write-up. You are obviously very much into head-fi. It's a great hobby.

I can't agree more regarding DAC. There really is a difference. Especially now that I've had Yggy for 4 plus days. Schiit multibit DACs are really good value in my opinion.

It's time to take my hi-fi addiction more seriously, no? I think that the T1s make me all yiggly......

Definitely Mordy.

It's time you upgrade your DAC, now that you have Euforia and T1. You're just one more step to Nirvana.

It's 4 day 20 hours now of warming up my Yggy. I chose to listen to 'Private Investigations' by Dire Straits.

This is the best I have heard of this song. Incredible. It's goose bump moments. Oh I had on my modified HD650 and dat bass !!! and dat crazy guitar works of Knopfler and his monotone voice. Just perfecto !!!

I'm sold on Yggy now. If you're still deciding what DAC to get. There are only 2 choices. Yggy or Gumby. Just toss a coin. Whichever side it lands, you'll be fine.

..... and CF has just ordered a Gumby. Good choice. !

My financial adviser tells me I need to find a 2-headed coin

You might end up with a 2 tail coin.

Here's why I think Bimby, Gumby and Yggy are different.

It all boils down to the size of the monopoly board.

Bimby


Gumby


Yggy

My financial adviser doesn't like you very much. He says I hang out with the wrong kind of people.

But, then again, for you it is all Monopoly Money

I told my accountant that I bought a Schiit and ask him to make a claim for business expenses. I say, 'It's a printer'. I can't print his responses here. Some kind of profanity.

Euforia and HoloAudio XEME2VE USB to SPDIF Digital Interface are burning in nicely. Still waiting for Sylvania 6SN7Ws, which are supposed to be here on Friday. Listening with Sylvania 6SN7WTG/GEC 6080, this and everything else I listen to (well almost everything) is spell binding.

Actually you are kind of correct it does imprint a message on people's minds so you're 50% of the way there to your tax cut good for you

Did you tell your accountant that you bought all those stuff? That would put him in a spell.

Looks like the opposition (@hypnos1 ) will be here soon. There's report that the Hugo 2 has shipped.

Ummm, I'm not much at math or the Internal Revenue Code. Are Social Security benefits taxed at 50% ???

There are very few Shayt DACs for sale on eBay - don't know if there just are very few out there or if everybody is so happy with what they have that nobody wants to change. Or that the incidence of Adiophilia Nervosa has decreased.... This is a disease characterized by constant upgradeitis not based on real gains. I have determined that none of the members of this forum, including myself, suffers from this condition. When somebody suggests this and that piece of equipment as improving the sound I know that I can rely on it.

It's just a question of money - how much am I ready to spend?

Which leads me to this question: How important is the multibit option in the Shayt DACs? There is a significant price difference in the Bifrost and Gungnir ($200/$400). The Yggdrasil only comes as multibit.

Opposition is very important for the balance.

(It's also a pretty strong word, and I wouldn't want to consider CJ my opposition.)
