For an alternative approach to providing AES to the Jggy, look into the unDAES-O Dante™ Networked Audio Interface - 4 CH AES3 Digital Output box
https://www.atterotech.com/products/dante-flange-mounts/undaeso

for ≈ $700 for the whole thing, h/w and s/w

For the Jggy, this box is the min path to an AOIP solution, as it only reaches 96KB/s,
And the SQ is marvelous and for me far better than anything I have yet heard.

And yeah setup is involved as this is pro audio gear, but it uses the ethernet port on your computer to link up to the unDaes-O box over a Dante network.

There are a bunch of us who run AOIP on a Dante network and the word we tend to use to describe the SQ is REALNESS.

So I've bought the 502 DAC as an add on to my Moode Pi. I haven't used it yet, been overly focused on coasters and building a Whammy. But it does have an AES/EBU aka AES3 out port. For $109 you can have an AES3 source for your Yggy. Now I only have a Mimby so I can't try out that feature. I'll be using the RCA outs myself. But just putting this out there because it is so much cheaper than the options posted here.

We'll see what apple friends I can hit up about that sweet, sweet, 15% employee discount. Once I'm no longer using a 2009 iMac I can start thinking about getting an Yggdrasil.

Yeah let us know My Apple gear is getting long in the tooth. 2010 17" MacBook Pro, 2011 13" MacBook Pro, and 2 iPhone 6+. Their prices have gotten so high I keep delaying upgrading; that and the fact that you can't upgrade their laptops anymore. I'm perfectly comfortable replacing HDD, SSD, Optical, Ram, Batteries, etc. It really bugs me that they've made them with all the parts soldered in and then overcharge for storage. The quality of the storage is great but still over-priced.

Edit this is the opposite of the Schiit model of providing for upgrades to the internals of DACs without buying the whole device again, and at the same time offering an excellent product like the Mimby that while not upgradable you can buy without regret because it doesn't cost $2400.

My next concert: https://www.millersymphonyhall.org/calendar/event/609/

Then Lucia di Lammermoor in 2 weeks. Was reading up on that. A French and an Italian version (or variants). I imagine we're getting the Italian one.

I would also refer you to the Refurbished section (hidden in the footer) of the apple store web. You can often - but not always - find 20% off deals on refurbished items.

I've used that a lot and find that the items are indistinguidsable from new items.

 

[bosiemoncrieff]

Oh believe me, I am. The discount is 15% off over and above the refurb.

My next concert is Trombone Shorty's Voodoo Threauxdown this Wednesday! Can't wait.

 

[Ripper2860]

^^^ He's definitely on my list!!

 

[Paladin79]

I know folks at Apple, Blackberry, Resmed, Honeywell etc. It pays to build up contacts and work with them to save money when you can. I want to say the Chinese word for it is guanxi, building networks.

Have you seen him in concert before? They (I assume he'll be there with Orleans Avenue) put on a great show.

I saw him play at New Orleans Jazz Fest years ago but he was not the headliner. This show is with Orleans Ave, yes. I am looking forward to it!

Wow, no Schiit. Not only do you get to travel to Singapore, but then, upon returning, you get to see Troy Andrews on your home turf. Decent!!
BTW, please tell him that his last album sucks and go back to the Backatown sound, just in case y'all happen to meet up.

You don't like his singing?

 

[RCBinTN]

I don't think it was the singing, the music just seemed more "forced" and less natural than his previous three albums. YMMV.
