But that gives Jay's wallet a moment to recover.

Yes, I'd like to have my Yggy by now. But Schiit has been refreshingly candid about their missteps, especially Jason's "...improbable startup..." thread.

And I really like that they're not sending reviewers samples when customer units are backordered. Putting customers ahead of reviewers is A+ in my book.

I used these rubber feet for my stack.  They are a little taller than the ones from Schiit.

I use http://www.amazon.com/3M-Bumpon-SJ5023-Bumper-Spacer/dp/B002OTNGPQ which is the same as MWSVette gave a link to. These are black square ones. They don't lose adhesion with age or the heat on my Schiit stack. They also provide some room for air circulation.

they don't sell them in local Ace Hardware or Office Supplies section of bookstore, so I'm importing them from Amazon.
Now to color match... I'm thinking of getting the white cylindrical one.

do you think that will do StanD?

I think you linked to a clear version. They are also smaller and not as tall as the ones I use. I prefer the extra height for air circulation.

One of my Lyr's had these when it arrived.  I removed them...

Hi StanD, I want to ask you about cable.
So... I'm thinking of getting a new Modi for my office table. And coincide this with Prime Day and having a friend currently in the US works to my favor (in comparison to, as you remember, 40% tax).
 
The thing is... last month I just ordered a nice $8 Mini to RCA cable for Fiio e10k as DAC to be plugged in to Magni 2 Uber. Last time I bought the PYST RCA cable. I don't think I want to do that again for the time being. (nothing against the Schiit cable, it's just the mini to rca cable are basically new, arrived 5 days ago if I'm not mistaken.)
 
So... if i buy a new Modi, and planning to plug them to my amps, can I use that Mini to RCA cable and use this kind of adapter?

FWIW this is the one I used to connect Fiio E17 to my Lyr:

I have had good luck with the Monoprice cables.  They are good quality and not expensive.

How do you connect your system if I may ask?
So it goes... PC -> USB -> Fiio E17 -> ? -> Stereo Female to 2 RCA -> Lyr -> Headphones right?
What do you connect the fiio e17 and that stereo female cable with (the in-between)?
 
As for my situation... at the moment I have...
PC -> USB -> Fiio e10k -> Mini to 2 RCA (link) -> Magni 2 Uber -> Headphones
 
Now if I'm getting a Modi... I want to be still using that Mini to 2 RCA cable, instead of getting 2 RCA to 2 RCA cables. Can I get away with something like this?
http://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-40424-Stereo-Y-Cable/dp/B001B8QUS6/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1436780289&sr=1-2&keywords=female+mini+to+rca
And will there be any deteroriation in Signal or Sound Quality or anything of that sort...?
 
thank you for the help as always guys... :D
