DAC's Made in the USA
Good to see Schiit getting overwhelmingly positive responses!  I certainly wouldn't put any stock in someone claiming their DAC "blows away" schiit dacs.I have a Yggy paired with a Freya pre and it's a superb combination.  If you go with Schiit, b... 
Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements?
Hilarious how all of you ignored the only gold nugget in this thread posted by  elliottbnewcombjr I chose to believe in the concept of small diameter, individually insulated multi-strand, to minimize the 'Skin' effect of single or twisted strand... 
Should I sell my accuphase for this schiit
OK George, you covered it.  Good enough, though you sound mad.  You mad about something?  I'm sorry you don't like it when some upstart on the forum corrects you with facts concerning your misleading statements.  Try to put the pride in check Geor...

Best used or new DAC under $3500
The problem is your decision here... " 1) Yggdrasil: Sold it as the staging was too narrow/flat and it seemed a little lifeless".If you had this impression of the best DAC under $3500, then your other components are junk.  At which point you shou... 
Soekris DAC1541 discrete R2R 27bit Multibit! Best Redbook DAC? and Native DSD.
Cool DAC, but there's no US based sales location or site as of yet.I tried three preamps with my DAC and wasn't very happy with any of them. I have since just hooked my Yggy directly to the amp and I'm very pleased with the sound! Trouble is... I ...
