I'll add to the fact the Yggy Dac is absolutely quiet

Yes, I agree whole hardheartedly.  I have put my ear very close to my Yggy and it makes no noise of it's own.  :)p13

G'dammit. I powered on my rig to compare Yggy to my PWD but I can't stop listening to it. This is freaking ridiculous.

Same problem with Yggdrasil vs. my Vega. Body Acoustic 52nd St is mesmerizing via the former.

I had an opportunity to hear the Yggy today at a friends.  Heard it being fed by a Hydra Z spdif converter and also via direct USB.  Only had 160 hours on it so I am sure it is not fully burned in.  Yes, I believe in burn in with lots of equipment.

Also heard the Rowland Aerius fronted by same Hydra Z for a comparison.  Differnent signatures for sure.  I am impressed with what I heard out of the Yggy especially USB direct.  Makes me even more itchy to try the Gungnir Uber 2 from my X-sabre.

It's been on for 67 hours (no I am not paranoid) and your "humble" 16/44 music is effing fantastic. I know this has been several times but the actual experience is a revelation of sorts.

The detail retrieval is ridiculous.  I listen to stuff work with IEMs from my phone; play it at home and suddenly there is all this "stuff" I missed when I heard it last....

I got mine today, and I've already been surprised by details I never noticed before a couple of times. I MIGHT actually keep this thing longer than my typical month and a half.

Cizx, its 1.33 months for you, not 1.5 :). Anyway, I now have to actually reduce the volume level on my amp (not by much though) from about a week ago for my usual listening comfort. Thought that was interesting.
