I am sorry to break it to you, but there is no end game on head-fi - no matter how hard you try, you will not resist getting something new and your wallet will cry again

 
Amen to that. I thought I had reached my end-game when I had a BHSE and an SR-009. Turned out I actually preferred the SR-007 MK1 to the SR-009. Said goodbye to the SR-009 and never looked back.
 
So was the BHSE/SR-007 the final frontier for me? Nope. Call me crazy but I later realized a well-driven--I mean absolutely well-driven by the top 1% synergistic amps out there--HD800 stomps the aforementioned TOTL stat combo in terms of imaging, resolution (in both macro- and micro-dynamics) and soundstage. Throw in a refurbished vintage R2R DAC from the golden 90's and add a touch of 3D magic from something like the Smyth Realiser A8 or OOYH software, and I felt closer than ever to the end-game I had dreamed of.
 
But deep down I know that this still won't be the end-game for me.

Can't quite tell from this angle but if that headphone is an SR-007BL, and that the KGST was well built by an expert who knows his stuff, then your headphone system should be a phenomenal sounding end-game schiit better than 99% of the so-called TOTL rigs we see around here. As far as stats go, only a BHSE fed by the same Yggy DAC should sound marginally, if any, better.
 
Lucky you!

Thank you.  007A's.  The amp is special.  Made for me by headinclouds....oustanding craftsmanship and nothing but quality parts.  Swings 400v as opposed to the usual 350.  Makes the 007's smile.  The ygg just seems to get better with time.  I haven't been able to get myself to switch to the Woo WA7 / TH900 to see how it pairs with the ygg.  I'm addicted at the moment.

I agree the amp is a pretty damn good one.  The Yggdrasil is a good DAC as well.
 

 
Listening to the HE1000 right now.  While they're on loan.

That amp looks familiar...

Whoa, that's quite an array of gear. Each of those tables is worth significantly more than my car when it was new. Aside from n3rdling's collection, I don't think I've ever seen a non-meet photo with so many modern Staxen in one place.

But you missed the gungnir. 

  Man, I love the sound of that dac. Plus the ability to connect and play three amps without switching cables is a blessing for those of us with three amps.
