Upgrading from my Yiggy

[thyname]

A few (higher priced) DACs that I believe would be significant improvements to your Yggy:

 

1 - Ayre QX-5 Twenty. Fully loaded version (with all digital inputs including Ethernet renderer) is about $9K. Often available for sale in used market for $5K to $6K

 

2 - MSB Technology Discrete DAC. MSRP of about $10K with no modules. If you add one of the modules plus the second power supply, it gets about $13K. Yes, pricey, but totally worth it. I don't think I have ever seen one in used market though

 

And there is nothing wrong with experimenting. This is indeed a hobby, not life or death situation
