Delightful DAC Week :~)

Interesting that the YGGY is a fixed output since many, if not most, offer fixed and variable outputs. This is even more pecular as Schiit doesn't offer a preamp in a similar price/performance range as this DAC. It does look intriguing, that's for sure.

I have had Yggy for quite a while. Sold BADA2 shortly after. Also had Hydra Z and prefer Yggy USB input more than Hydra-z output AES into Yggy. With hydra-z you do get more bass but lost the Yggy's Magic 3D imaging and instrument separation.

 

With Yggy in my system I have permanently stopped searching for a better DAC. I just don't think a better sound can be obtained without spending A LOT more.

 

Yggy does have its own sound signature (which luckily suit my taste perfectly) and not for everyone, so do give a try first. And yes it does need a good burn-in when brand new.

 

 

Ah, here's the comparison that we never ever get in reviews and one that really interest me...sold your BADA for the YGGY...certainly gets me very curious to hear the YGGY. (and I have owned the BADA series one since new and was a month or two too old in serial number to upgrade to series two, dammit!)

Thanks,
