Grannyring was just making a pretty valid point, geez. No need to jump on him like he stole something from you.
I do have a new Yggdrasil running in, actually. It's a nice unit but I think perhaps the R2R vs D-S DAC thing has become a bit of a fad, which the Yggy is riding a nice wave of, and it's good to have undiluted opinions to temper the growing expectations of prospective buyers.
The Yggy is indeed very detailed (which I have no problem with; the more detail the better as long as it's smooth, which it is here) but my one possible hangup on it thus far is I wish it had a little more bass impact -- I think that kind of echoes what Grannyring heard from his friends. And I've heard a lot of gear myself...I know what constitutes a nice balanced sound.
