Less than a week.............. No Schiit.

 
I am taking a wild guess that the fact you're awake at 5am may have something to do with this.  (Then again, you may be an early riser?)

Obviously, headphones are a better investment than DACs. I plan on getting the HD 800 and Abyss before the Ragnarok and Yggdrasil.
 
 
Sweeet.


I'm not sure that is always true. If you already have a good headphone, but not much of a DAC/amp, then sometimes the DAC/amp upgrade makes sense. Not to mention a stack of Schiit is pretty hot eye candy!

Script set to check every 5 mins for Yggy availability. I haven't been this excited about a new audio purchase since I bought my HD800s in 2009.

I think I might get this too. Just started getting into desktop stuff. Would this be a good option if I'm using a woo wa6 and AK240 as a source? I'm coming from portable audio, so this is very new to me. I'm using th900 headphones. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

OMG!!! YES!!!!!
 
I plan on getting the HIFIMAN HE1000 in the near future. If I can wing it, I may get the Yggdrasil much sooner than expected!

This monstrous angel of a DAC is only in its infancy, yet is already so powerful.

And since I'm making anime references here, here is a pic of Yggdrasil in an anime:

My decision point: Yggdrasil or the HE-1000 beta.
 
– a DAC is upstream from everything; both speakers and cans benefit
– Yggy is the work of a bonna-fide master in the field
– Yggy has been listened to, carefully, by many here and praised
– AFAIK, HE-1000s have been heard by only a few at (relatively noisy) meets/shows
 
I wish to do both, but must choose one to be first. This seems obvious... additional thoughts and advice, please?
