Schitt Audio Still in business???

Yggy arrived on Saturday.  Took it directly home plugged it into the Sonos connect using both toslink and digital coax.  Then into Prima Luna using some 25 year old :) 20ft monster rca cable.

first song I my play list was Allison Kraus. Wow, clarity and coming closer to open air.  A couple of weeks I borrowed a Ayre Codex from my local Hifi store Audio Advice.  Lucky to have them.  I purchase all my gear from them.  But I heard Zero differnce if the stock Sonos DAC and the Ayre codex.  I was relieved to hear such a grand improvement out of the box.  

It is now Monday night so it has been burning in for 48 hours. It's getting better.  It really is starting to sound like live music.  

I decided to throw the money into what everyone on this site was saying about yggy.  Just could not go back to records.  38 years ago the tick and pop of albums drove me through the roof.  CDs I had hoped were the answer. All these years later finally approaching the record and without the memorable ticks and pops.  Those records on my maranta and dual turntable did sound pretty good though. First money I earned went into drums(Ludwig and Zildjian) and stereo equipment.  We always return to our passion. 

Anyway,  loving what I am hearing after 48 hours. 

I think I'm going to hold off on Sonos mod.  Maybe look at roon in the future. 

Glad you like it! While I usually love the sound of the output stage on Ayre’s (guessing that’s it since I hear the same qualities regardless of gear type) the Schiits have an amazing immunity to sources. No matter how bad the input is the Schiits play consistently.

The Ayre QB-9 however is much more sensitive.

I went with a Mytek instead, which seems to also do this well, but I won’t be able to really tell unless I use a Mac to drive it. :D :D :D

Best,

Erik

" the Schiits have an amazing immunity to sources. No matter how bad the input is the Schiits play consistently."

No, no, no. The Yggy & Gumby are not at all immune to sources, they let you hear the differences between sources. I've heard source comparisons in multiple systems and each time the Schiit made it clear that the sources sounded different and in some cases dramatically better when the source was improved. That's a good thing. Yes, yes, yes, the Schiits play consistently. And I'm guessing part of your intention is to say that they sound pretty good even with a very modest source, which is reasonable. The take away IMHE is that improvements in source will be rewarded when paired with Yggy or Gumby. Cheers,

My headphone setup consists of a lyr 2 and a bifrost multibit.
I also have 2 Wyrd USB regenerators.
I'm Extremely happy with all of their products. I ordered via their web site, items shipped within a day, never needed CS.

A few weeks ago my old travel companion, the M-Audio transit which I use with my laptop, started acting up. 
I ordered a tiny headphone DAC / Amp from them which has the best name ever - "Fulla" ... Schiit
All Schiit user manuals are a blast to read ! Couldn't stop laughing. 
Self-humor shows a lot of confidence in their products.
I like their products and attitude.
