Interesting discussion, adding my experience to help others out :-)
I read the review and started out with a Yeti 3000, replacing a Gigawatt PC4 EVO. I experienced the improvements people have already referenced in this thread. I had my entire stack connected to it, Dan Dagostino Momentum monoblocks, Jeff Rowland DAC and MicroRendu SE Streamer. The Yeti handled it fine, it did however shut off once when I really kicked up the volume, but only once. The intermittent fan noise never really bothered me, I play loud and when I heard it, it was worth enduring for the benefits.
I helped Kickstart the Deltas, and put in for two Delta 1300. They are a nicer design than the Yeti, does about the same. Maybe the sound is better, but that may my bias trying to validate the stupid double expense :-) But one monoblock for each Delta and the digital stack on the Yeti feeding the Gigawatt PC4 EVO. Sounds terrific and no problems no matter how loud I play. However, I think it may be overkill and I will be selling off the Yeti again. So if anyone needs a slightly used Yeti 3000, just say the word :-)
