| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions The W4S and Yggy are the only DAC's I have owned and listened to critically. I upgraded the W4S to the newest 9038 Sabre chip that is also in the Oppo. I was just piping in that the 9038 chip in the W4S and the Yggy sound very diifferent. I hav... | |
| Rate my system and chose the next upgrade You did not mention power conditioning or cables. I would start with the Denali 6000s, its in you ballpark. Then I would upgrade the power cables, speaker cables and analog and digital interconnects and $ 3000 is a decent starting point for cab... | |
