This is a poor time to purchase a DDC.
Denafrips is a Chinese company and sourcing an Iris or Hermes, or anything Denafrips, is just about impossible at this point. All because of the tax man. There was an Iris at TMR yesterday but it is gone. I would prefer a Hermes. Anyone got one they want to part with?
An Aurender would solve most problems but shelling out that much money for a streamer is hard for me to fathom at this point. Using a computer, I do not need a display or storage, so I would be purchasing the unit based solely on it's jitter reducing capabilities.
I have no doubt that a Hermes feeding my Yggy OG would increase sound quality. I would use USB to Hermes and AES cable to Yggy.
If I had my druthers, I would just call it a day and buy a Chord Dave, but even that was released in 2016, the same year as my Yggy, so the Chord folks should be readying a release of a Chord Dave 2 soon, right? What am I looking at, 15K?
