Kernelbob. If you gave up on the PSA DS without at least a minimum of 800-1000 hours break-in... then for sure you missed out on a superb dac.

With the Yale Final OS uploaded...it is a no-brainer.Come on over and have a listen. ;)
Aolmrd1241, Funny as that is exactly what another PS Audio DS owner said to me after replacing the Yggy with the DS.

So many factors. I guess patience is hard for us Aphiles!
Thanks Grannyring....I am afraid it will do no good to anyone. No one wants to tweak....too afraid of hurting it, loosing warrantee or loosing resale value. Of the 250 or so Yggys sold only two people have even taken the cover off. One changed the fuse to good effect and the other, my friend, did all the mods I suggested. If the Yggy were $1000 then more would take a risk. So, we are left with Yggy great for the money but will never be really great unless tweaked and no one will tweak. Its just too bad the Schiit people are not open to tweaks....I could help them make a super version and they could sell it and still retain warrantee and no fears for anyone. Oh well, just the way it is. No one will ever hear how good a DAC it could be...except maybe my friend. Even more expensive DACs will never get modded by anyone. I have never, ever seen a product I could not make sound considerably better. There are many other people that can do the same and with different and similar skills.
I am one of the few that mods and tweaks gear of all types and price points. Amazing what can be done to improve "stock" gear. Thanks again for your site and postings on this subject over the years.
This is only my assumption, so please Correct me if I'm wrong (I probably am).
I personally take what Chris Conneker says with a grain of salt. I'm not doubting he's a music lover, but my instincts tell me that he is a computer geek first and an audio enthusiast second. He is tech guy who started a site because he noticed that we were in the Golden Age of digital audio and dacs and computer storage of music were the next big thing.
Just my opinion,
