It might be worth the wait of 5/6 days. I mean, I could continue listening on the Lyr2/Bifrost for those days. I rather wait a bit and buy some good cables then spend now 40 euro on some cheaper ones and upgrade later. Or pay 120 euro's or 150 euro's for the Vovox (depending Link/Sonorus) and know in my mind that the QED's are better and doesn't cost much more.
The Vovox, Mogami and many other microphone/interconnect cables are very good (probably better and less expensive than many audiophile cables), and diferences decrease in the opposite proportion of price increase. There aren't many reviews about the QED but after buying the cable found one that corroborated my impressions, finally found the link:

Currently testing the ifi ilink with my Yggy and coaxial to see what happens.
Does anyone know why the ifi link constantly pauses/turns itself off when nothing is playing?
Is there a way to stop that? It constantly makes my Yggy click and it worries me in terms of lifespan, etc.
Have been tempted to post a bunch of "Oh, Wow!" testimonials, but didn't, just to spare you all the boredom.
Now that the Yggy is properly broken in, I am having trouble enjoying my other systems though.
Looks like I will have to buy at least one more Yggy. :/

I'm afraid to repeat myself, but for my favorite form of music, small ensemble jazz, my Yggy-based speaker system gives me the shivers again and again. Listening just now to the wonderfully romantic "West of 5th," a very well-recorded 2006 Chesky release with Hank Jones, Christian McBride, and Jimmy Cobb. It's like being there in the studio with them. I never had the luck of hearing Jones or Cobb live, but I've been to quite a few gigs with McBride on the bass, and this is it.
Interestingly, Robert Harley in his rave review of the Yggy, said he broke it with over one month of 24/7 power up before giving it a serious listen, so those who found fault may have heard the Yggdrasil with insufficient break in.

I get TAS and the Harley review in #273 hasn't arrived yet. So I bought the digital online just to read the Yggy review.
Harley: "I discovered a DAC that wasn’t superb. It wasn’t even good. And it certainly wasn’t “good for the money.” What I discovered, to my amazement, was a DAC that
was stunningly great, period."
After the print issue becomes available I bet the back order time for a Yggy gets a lot longer.
Might have to get my order in sooner than I was planning.
