Sure did. Once I confirmed with Jason it would have no problem pairing with passive preamps, I bought it just before I left the show.

Makes me wonder what kind of dac chip does MSB use. Nobody has open up those modules before.

Performance is performance and that's what ultimately matters. Price is up to the consumer to put into context.

Indeed.

Discussion of price within the context of performance might be a lot healthier than the other way around.

Audio-Gd recently upgraded their crappy USB input to amanero. So it's not as bad as before.

I have yet to find a DAC that doesn't in some way benefit from an Offramp. When I owned the Audeophilleo, I felt similarly. The PWD +Bridge, as I remember it, was the least to benefit. In most cases, the advantages are considerable and palpable. I would be surprised if the Yggy or any DAC for that matter had surpassing USB quality. It would certainly be welcome.


I use the same Linear Power Supply on my current setup of ygg using its usb input. Maybe it improves its usb performance, but I don't know for sure. I use Paul Pang USB card feed by the same LPS as well. Comparing that with Diverter in chain, I did prefered ygg usb.

I'm guessing the Gungnir MB is [redacted] in the chart. Wondering what [redacted^2] is. :-S
