I made the plunge and purchased one of the Yggys for sale here on Audigon. What a great seller! I did look at the Holo KTE and really want one, but that's about $1k more than the Yggy, so maybe I'll see a used one come up at some point. I"m sure I'll have to be fast as it will go quickly.
dfarirc777a, I did look at the Evo 100 too, but with my Primalluna Dialogue HP Integrated, that's a lot of tubes. I've rolled the pre-amp tubes and want to roll the EL-34s at some point, and I was concerned about what the tube combination might sound like. Didn't want to not like the sound and not know the cause (too many variables). This is why I stay away from Analogue, there are just too many variables and the tweaker in me would be constantly changing things. Having the Yggy just keeps the DAC constant in the mix.
Thank you all for your help and advice! I will give you an update on the Yggy after I've had it for a week or so. It was shipped to the original owner in February of 2018, so it should be broken in when it arrives.
