I almost want to get one of these, just so that I can mess around with it after Mike Moffat finishes his white paper on Yggy's filter.

If you are not going Yggdrasil way, then imo this is no-brainer. I would think it could serve purpose even next to Ygg because of its tuning potential.

My Yggy arrived yesterday. I've been eyeing @MisterRogger's dac for a while now, and the temptation is growing.

Hey mates - just sold the Soren R-2R. I'll be building another one within the next month or so, but needed the funds for my Yggy - which is a must. Since I have all the parts to build another (except for the DAC board), it wasn't a difficult decision.

I know Yggy's fantastic enough to more than tide me over, but I'm already looking forward to building another one. The latest filters really are quite good.

Plenty of folks at DIYA community providing useful stuff for this DAC. New filters coming out every second day, protection circuits being developed and a friend of mine even developed a kickass input/control board.

Too bad that there's almost no support coming from Soren himself.

Yea, agreed. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for the first month, but now...

I have one of the control boards; nice work :-)

Mike, i would be very interested on your thoughts on how Dam with different filters sounds vs Yggdrasil.
Here in EU Schiit stuff is delayed, it might take a while before i can do this myself.

Looks like I'll have about a week of overlap from when Yggy arrives (early next week) and when I ship the R-2R to Russia. I'll be early in Yggy's 'bake', but sure - happy to share.

The buyer uses a reshipper in the states here; should be less scary than usual. Also, he bought without transformers so the reduced weight / imbalance should help.
