What do you think of your GS2? I see you purchased one based off your signature. I am thinking about going from a Chord Qutest -> Yggy GS2I like that phrase and did look it up to make sure it meant what I thought (yes)! I knew I didn't need the GS when I put it in the cart and first thing I did was check the cost to upgrade to a higher model. I'll just save a few more bucks and enjoy my Bifrost 2! Yet...it still calls out to me
Yggy's gonna blow your mind. Can't wait to hear your thoughts as it settles in...
Well there are plenty of people who like a fine cigar and great scotch.
There are plenty of cheap cigars out there and lower grades of scotch so there is good and bad in both. Each to their own.
Told ya. It's life-changing in a resolving system, and you definitely have one of those!
I take that as a massive compliment, sir.
Lowly... right. You can always upgrade the analog card if the FOMO gets to you.
Unlike anything else out there, esp. at the price performance point. Crazy resolution, I tell you!
I loved Yggy so much, I bought two!
Damn you guys, now I need to drive down to Telford's and get me a couple of Avo XO Maestosos...
A fine cigar can be a two hour experience in the case of Esplendidos. I have also been known to smoke a Montecristo #2 on occasion. Combine that with 21 year old Balvenie and I am set for a while.
I have cut back on cigars for health reasons so since they are few and far between I want my favorites.
Ethernet is designed to be really robust to such stuff. If the stream uses TCP (as Ronn RAAT or typical UPnP do), it's all buffered, error-checked, and retransmitted on error, timing is immaterial. The only impact of higher-frequency noise would be leakage into the delicate analog circuits of the target DAC. Nothing to do with stream integrity. Everything to do with underspecified circuitry between the digital and analog sides of the system. That's why Schiit developed Unison, which is amazing value for money, a couple 100 bucks competing with gold-plated multi $K streamers.
Yes. My best speaker system (see sig) does that. My 2nd best system is very enjoyable, but not in the same league because it does not control individual transducers in the time domain. With the right gear choice and budget, amazing things are possible even in complicated rooms. But with the right room and reasonable treatments, a much lower budget with some well-selected Schiit can get up there.
In my top headphone system, 4*Yggy edged OG/A2 out by a hair. My speaker systems are way past that for their integrated DAC components. I keep thinking I should get a MiB to hear what it can do on my headphone systems but I'd have to sell something to make space in one of the racks...
Lol! So Azzy is an orange american shorthair, and this is what he did… To be fair, @bcowen might wanna look away. Picture of wanton cardboard destruction follows…True, but other than the additional real estate and the fact that it's a Schiit box (No, not a litter box!A Schiit-provided shipping box.), I feel like he downgraded compared to his usual digs.
And speaking of cats with questionable relationships to high-end cardboard: You should ask @JamminVMI about his cat Azzy and the condition of a certain brand-new cardboard cat bed. If you do, I hope he includes a trigger warning; it's not for the faint of heart, to say the least.

Thanks Ripper. Got up before sunrise this morning. Went for a long walk (before it got too hot). Used my Apple AirPod Max Pro (yes, I admit it! Very good for certain of my use cases for sure) and listened to this while walking in the cool morning air, watching nature. Great album!Tonight's Jazz recommendation...
He does have a look in his eyes of, "Right, I dare you to try that cardboard s**t again...."Here is the actual destroyer of cardboard. Right now, of course, an absolute angel…
