@cycler2 Nice comparison, thanks for that.
I currently have the yggy connecting to a mjolnir2 amp for my headphones and my 2.1 setup using a receiver. I wanted to know if any of you are using the Yggy for a 2.1 setup and if so how is it configured? Thanks

Can you clarify where the SVS SB100 input is from? The Yggy directly?I am running yggy into a 2.1 setup. Mine runs all single ended right now. Yggy to Loki mini to Freya into a Vidar powering a set of B&W 805 Signatures with one of the outputs, and the other runs to an SVS SB1000 with the crossover and level set on the sub to blend.

Currently, I have the SE output of the Yggy going out to a Marantz receiver controlling the 2.1 setup. Correct me if I am wrong here but because the Marantz receiver has its own built in DAC it means I am not getting any benefit of the Yggy with this setup?

Just checked on my Yggy v2 + Freya order... looks like the back order date for Yggy slipped from 6/29 to 7/12
Ah well, a couple more weeks with the Yggy v1 ain't such a bad thing...
BTW, I'm also running a 2.1 config:
Desktop PC (w/ RME RayDAT Pro Soundcard), AES/EBU to Yggy.
From Yggy, Balanced XLR to SPL Volume 2 pre-amp.
From Volume 2, Balanced XLR to FOCAL CMS Sub.
From CMS Sub, Balanced XLR to (L+R) Focal Solo 6 Be speakers.
I see you like the pro stuff too.
Been looking at the SPL 2Control but then I might need balanced setup for the subs.
@Jamiee So are you replacing the SPL Volume 2 with Freya?
Indeed, I've had the Focal's for a few years now and still really enjoy them for near field listening - They are quite unforgiving in that they'll show you the gear you have in front of them (good, bad, or ugly), but I like that.... It makes me work harder to get it right!
The RME sound card is a recent addition and to be honest I'm wondering why it took me sooooo long to finally come to my senses! I noticed an immediate - rather significant - uptick in transparency and image stability using the sound card interface compared to USB and/or Optical out from the PC (regardless of the re-clocking devices or quality of cables used in-between).
Re: SPL Volume 2.
Yup, Freya is replacing it. Not because I don't like the Volume 2 (it's does what I need it to and it does it well - NOTE: I did upgrade the internal fuses and Op-Amp's), but because I want to have the option to have a little fun with tubes. Besides Freya just looks better paired with yggy (not an important factor).
Which speakers?Yes the Focal's are quite unforgiving, but I'm a big fan of how they sound with great recordings and the right gear.
I'll be working for years to put better gear in the chain to complement Yggy and the Focal's
I maybe need that sound card and cable next.
Dam, not cheap, I could buy a Gumby!
And looks are important to me at least, + Freya is such a good deal.
Which speakers?
