Hello Purrin ,
I guess you're floating to the top of the "experienced" in DACs list of interested parties .
You seem to be a Mike Moffat believer from way back in the day , I presume you know the man himself as you have access to the early prototypes . The promise of a bright DAC future is about as good a Product Roll-out endorsement as exists for the Yggy , to date ( other than Mike's wife brought to tears from a brief exposure to the design !
Placing it in the same league with the Antelope , MSB Analog and Benchmark is effectively what you're doing here , I hope you're right , I hope Mike Moffat is right , I hope his wife is right , I hope Schiit gets a nice big Bases Clearing Home Run outa this DAC and I hope the darn thing makes it into Production .
I personally think that nobody is gonna out-DAC those MSB people , that whole team in Watsonville are experienced Digital People , pricy ? , yea , very , better , certainly .
The $2,500 Yggy price point is what's NEW here , Antelope have moved into this range , MSB can't , Benchmark are there too . So , the performance winner will take all , in the consumer range , I'm thinking .
We live in exciting times .
I'll be watching and buying , I'm hoping for Schiit , too !
