There's really no reason to. Again, Monoprice and Amazon have cables for much cheaper.
I already use Monoprice XLR interconnects cables. I like BJC because I can get the exact lengths that I need. Almost all my other cables are from Monoprice.

My email exchange with Schiit yesterday:
me:
Hello,
I know you guys have been busy with the Yggy release but just
wondering if my "Fully Upgradable, Future-Proof DAC ", Gungnir, can expect any
attention in the near future.
Thanks,
Schiit reply:
We do not discuss future product plans. http://schiit.com/about/principles
me: Ok, hopefully you don't mention them as a selling point and then forget about them either ; )
Since Schiit won't talk about it, anyone have a purely speculative and therefore basically useless opinion they'd like to share on wether or not we'll see some of the Yggy technologies trickle down to upgrades for the Gung?
I know I was kind of busting their balls, and companies need to make money and upgrades probably don't have the profit incentives that a new product offers, but if you're going to mention your products are upgradable, I know I for one am hoping for some upgrades.

I'm confused.. what do "cheaper" cables have to do w/ the excellent SQ of the Yggy ?
I went with BJC mainly because you can specify an exact length with BJC while you're stuck with set lengths of 1.5/3/6/10/15 feet lengths from MP.
And I have to admit the BJC cables do sound good, and they don't suck the soundstage from the music like some other cables do.
Eventually all threads derail into a cable debate and then soon fade away after new gear hype wears off

Ok, just an update ... Yesterday I ordered the Yggdrasil. Expected shipping date late June / early May. Long wait, but worth it. Thanks to all who provided instrumental information for my decision. Can anyone tell me if the initial warming up can be done just by keeping the Yggy On (stand-by), or does it need to be constantly streaming music during those initial warm-up days? Thanks!
