^^^ Sure... They sound like the secret ingredient that could make an audiophile out of Frankenstein himself :

I have a yggy connected to my pc using the atterotech undaes-o to the aes input. To me this was an improvement from the gen5 usb and I really haven't had any issues with the ethernet protocol. However, I would love to simplify my setup and I would rather just use usb if it sounds close to as good. Has anyone made the comparison betweenthe unison usb and ethernet?
Is there a break in period for a unison install?
I'm trying to decide on my next DAC. I've heard glowing praises for the Yggy but I don't know if I wanna splurge over $2k and then more money on a transport for the Yggy to get the most out of it. It seems like everything under the $2k bracket can't compare including the Qutest, RME ADI-2, Matrix X Sabre or Element M/X, etc. I personally didn't care for the Gumby - while it was spacious sounded it was way too warm especially coupled with my warm headphones at the time Auteur/LCD 2. I couldn't get the detail I liked with it as I could from a good D/S. It sounded muddy to me - additionally the grey background didn't help. They claims the Gumby is the next godsend around that price tier which sucks because I didn't care for its sound and can't found a good 3D sounding D/S for around it's price.
Should I just spring for the Yggy or is it worth still looking for a middle ground (less than 2K DAC) smooth sounding D/S which would be more up my alley. The more I think about multibit the more I think I actually prefer the sound of D/S (Modi 2 Uber vs the Multibit, etc.) I think having natural sounding headphones makes up for most of the benefits touted by multibit.
I have messed around with a bunch of dac's. Since I have had a Yggy I have been satisfied and done searching. Amazing Dac.I'm trying to decide on my next DAC.
