Sooo. how'd you guys feel about a tubed transformer coupled Yggy about twice the height with an external box for tube PS? Gets ridiculous. The ultimate would be DHTs. EC Mervizator Big 13". Hahahahahaha. $8999. No... $16789.

No....$189,000. Seems appropriate after this weekend.  ;)

Depends on the weight and the chasis. Is each component in it's own cozy compartment? Is it shinny? Can 10 men lift it?

If it fits in my house, then no, it's not worth $189K.

And for that price, I'd expect more bass. If money can't buy bass, what's the point?

I'd expect sub-sub bass. Down to 10 Hz. Enough to make ones rib cage to rattle due to resonance.  headbang
In fact it should make the person across the room feel the bass!

That's why there's an external PS. It'll work 'ya both above and below the desk.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

It's nice to dream, but hey, we've only had the Dac for a month or so?

We should enjoy it for a while, instead of stripping it down, after all, the Yggy's already a giant killer in stock form, right?

I bet Mike and Jason would P.T. us and have our asses sucking buttermilk!

Don't worry. Nothing is happening.

There are about 50 different ways to skin the cat in terms of "improving" Yggy. All have different cost points, risks to development (esp. high quality transformers), risks to reliability, differences in sound, ease (tube diff amp + caps would be easiest, and might even be better than FET), which platform to use = eventual size - not sure if people would want a DAC the size of a small fridge (and if Anax wants one, he's on his own.) In then end, it might not sound much better.

I could make EC Marvizator 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 and make you fuckers pay for all of it along the way. But I'm not.

The problem is audiophilia. Once you hear something better, even it is in one or two aspects.
