Reference level DAC + Streamer
@mikelavigne Mike, could you please send me your thoughts on those two DACs?  Those are the exact 2 DACs I've been heavily considering and I would love your thoughts as I try to arrange demos.  Thanks so much! 
Best 845 tube out there?
I need a lesson on how to personally IM folks on this site...I can't for the life of me ever find the right link to do it.@t_ramey If you want to send me a private message, I had some questions for you and some thoughts on the Melody that I won't ...

@t_ramey Will absolutely do as soon as they arrive.  They appear to have shipped per the Paypal email, but directly from China and there's no online trackability it seems.As for the recent luck of all of our posters here, that is frustrating on nu...

Thanks for the posts on the Shuguangs...sorry for both of your luck there...that's frustrating on both counts.

@t_ramey  Thanks to you too...please continue to keep in touch as it seems posting Melody 845 owners are few and far between.@charles1dad    A personal note of thanks for your general knowledge and approach to this "sport"...I find your posts in a...

@t_ramey Great question.  My honest answer? ...this thread, mostly.  I reread the whole thread again (I've probably read it through 3 times now over the last 6 months), and some folks whose opinions I trust from other topics seemed to get enjoymen...

@t_ramey Sorry, I totally missed your posted question to me a couple weeks back.I’m 98% sure that’s what I’m running, but my lettering is quite worn and is in white paint "845" with "made in China" below it--all white paint, with no printed brand,...

On topic, I've just ordered a pair of PSVane WE Replica 845s myself and will report back my thoughts.

Recognizing I'm drawing this off topic, can you let us know what OTL you've acquired, and what speakers you're driving, and any interesting comparisons on sound?  I'm on the same "journey," but like cars, I'm enjoying having multiple amps...doing ...

@t_ramey I’m running a Melody AN845 in a 3rd system...also very interested in findings of the best 845s for this amp. I have Thoress 845 monos that I’m running Elrogs in, and they are awesome and a clear upgrade from the Shuguang As and Bs in the ... 
Anyone receive their Zu Druid VIs yet?
Thanks, those last couple of pages of updates had eluded my search.  Sounds promising! 
What formats does the Yggdrasil DAC support?
Just got mine back, and it's playing 24-bit 44.1kHz and 96kHz WAV just fine through my UltraRendu using Roon.  I emailed with a number of folks at Schiit and they all claimed they were not aware of an issue while it was being upgraded.Perhaps they... 
845 tubes. New not old stock
I have Elrogs I bought about 4 months ago and I love them too, but they sound better in my Thoress mono blocks than they do in the Melody 845 integrated I also own.  Not bad in the Melody, but I think I actually prefer the regular 845a's in that--... 
What formats does the Yggdrasil DAC support?
That's disappointing...mine is in for the upgrade right now.  I wonder how I can confirm they're not shipping it to me with the bug?  I guess I'll ask. 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
Very interesting thread.  Value is so subjective, especially in this "sport" we've all chosen to indulge in.  And as stated, there are others that may be similar (cars, watches, homes, hell...friends and significant others if you really want to go...
