| Sopra N°2 RACOF, System dependent for sure. I have a very good CD player and killer Integrated 700i. I listen to many of the songs you mentioned and the Sopra 2’s sound great. Enjoying Don’t tell me you love me right now. My Yggy Dac does a great job on 80... | |
| Unfiltered NOS DACs sound Absolutely love my Schiit Yggdrasil A2. Has put digital listening on par with vinyl, still different but as enjoyable. Have also experienced great benefit from upgraded power cord for the Yggy. | |
| Low cost WiFi streamer : Google Chromcast Audio v/s Audioengine B1 I have used the B1 for years and it works great and sounds very good. I stream from my IPad to the B1 to Yggdrasil to Sim 700i. I also use a basic optical cable, the B1’s own dac is pretty good, but nothing like the Yggy. My audiophile friends are... | |
| Sopra 2 soundstage height I too would like to hear about experience with removing the tweeter grill. I also have the 700i (killer synergy). Have now fed all digital sourcing into the Yggy A2, perfect match with Sim/Sopra combination. Also the TWL AD power cable on the Yggy... | |
| Power Cable for Yggdrasil DAC Thanks for the responses everyone. The TWL DAPC is performing really well with the Yggy. It’s a keeper. Now looking at getting the TWL HPDA PC for my Simaudio 700i Integrated amp. Planning on it delivering like the DA did with the Yggy. | |
| Power Cable for Yggdrasil DAC @mooglieThanks for your in-depth response, very helpful information. | |
| What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000? A $4000 BNC cable, really? I so want to think this reasonable on some level but cannot in my world. | |

Amazing tribute to Wes Montgomery, top shelf production and he can really cover the Wes material, with respect and authority. Not an easy task.Ron Affif trio, Mark Whitfield True Blue, Jimmy Bruno with Joey Defrancesco, Li... | |
| R2R Dac choices. Plus one on the Schiit Yggie, have had mine for 2 weeks now, honestly never thought I would enjoy digital sources as much as I do with the Yggie. Radio Paradise FLAC sounds amazing through the Yggie. | |
| Radio Paradise Free @canibefrank, totally agree, something different going on there. | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW I had a 45 minute demo this week with DAW’s, through some McIntosh gear. On both digital and vinyl the speakers were really good. Had about 400 hours on them, they were being broken in for Frankie Sullivan of Survivor. He has good taste. They deli... | |
| Radio Paradise in FLAC FLAC sounds great. Seems to expand soundstage and depth when compared to Tidal. Love the RP. | |
| Radio Paradise Free To me RP sounds more spatial, layered, 3D. Things just seem to float more in the air. It doesn’t seem louder at all, it’s a bit more laid back with more depth and soundstage also. I am totally digging it. Agree with Audiojedi, the mix is really ni... | |
| Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD I have been listening to Radio Paradise for the last week and I have concluded it sounds better than Tidal, and I am a big fan of Tidal. RP is free, allows 5 levels of streaming, I am using FLAC. Have learned of new artists I really like and it ha... | |
| Buying advice: McIntosh vs SimAudio for Integrated Amplifier/DAC. My approach to building my reference system was to build synergy, it has taken a while. Some pieces are expensive, some are not relatively speaking, however the system sounds amazing. I didn’t put much weight into depreciation rates, focused mainl... |
