@Jason Stoddard
Hi Jason: from all of the reading I've done here, there seems to be the consensus that Yiggy sounds best from its balanced XLR outputs versus its single ended RCA outputs.
What solution would you recommend to a NAIM owner like me? My SuperNait2 only has RCA and DIN inputs. Can you recommend a device that would convert balanced XLR to RCA or DIN? Thanks.
I'm not Jason, but I think he would say that the Yggy already does this - internal hardware summers -> SE RCA outputs.
Edit: From the Yggdrasil spec page: "Analog Stages: Fully discrete JFET buffers for balanced output and discrete JFET summing stages for single-ended output, direct coupled throughout"
I know that but it's pretty much universally agreed upon here that Yiggy XLR is a better beast than Yiggy RCA.

I'm sure it's been said before here, but what sort of badness befalls if someone gets the bright idea to use an XLR-to-RCA adapter on the Yggy outputs? (that grounds pin3)

Yggdrasil specs says the XLR connector is balanced only (an unbalanced XLR connection also exists), but in any case the easiest and cheapest connection is the old RCA.
Which is 100% BS. Use the single-ended outputs if you only have single-ended inputs. It's that simple.
Remember, every opinion on here is only an opinion, colored by one's own preferences and experience, or lack thereof. If we were less transparent about how the single-ended output was derived (like many, many, many other manufacturers), I bet that a whole lot less people would believe the SE output was inferior.
Listen for yourself, decide for yourself...bottom line.
