This is the way, I think. For now Im content with Excalibur feeding Yggy Unison via USB. But as previously mentioned I will jump on a Schiit DDC if it's priced right and run Unison to Unison via two Excaliburs since Yggy doesnt have I2S. It'd have to be cheaper than the Gustard U18 or Denafrips...

AVConnection has them cheap right now. 1meter version is $94, 2meter is $101. They charge like $20~ shipping irrc, but, no tax if you live outside of EU. And for that paid shipping it arrived fast as Hell. Got mine 2 days after I ordered it and I live in the middle of the country in the US.

Yeah, that's facts. The attention to detail Trevor employs is insane. He was explaining the process to me of how he makes his interconnects and, jeez, he is in there doing double layered mylar foil and tinned braiding by hand lol. No prefabbed shielded wire-off-a-roll for him.

Thats how I felt on my A1 Yggy OG, the optical was just a tiny bit cleaner than the USB Gen 5. But my A2 OG has Unison and they sound identical.

Depends on how much more we talking about. There is NO doubt in my mind that a used $700~ Gungnir MB is a better bargain while being sufficiently good compared to the $1600+~ you can get out of the LiM. I wouldnt go lower than a Gumby though. For me personally I want that extra 10-15% Yggy...

I have galvanic isolation in my Schiit Unison USB but I can still hear a cleaner, more detailed sound out of the Excalibur compared to the basic cable. I don't care why it sounds better but for $100 I consider it a Win.

The man is a master at his craft and absolutely one of my tippy top favorites in this whole industry. Hell he IS the top of the list. Gorgeous cable, @Slim1970 . It's all so pretty but that gold tree of life is POPPING OFF>

The damn Russians... it's always them

Well considering Kharkov is literly under a massive attack that probably changed the timeframe. I did hear that some of their operations were in Kiev now but who knows, it's a warzone.

yeah dead center thank God i'd probably lose my mind. Amps should have the ability to adjust that for folks with uneven hearing.

It's a Multibit but I thinks its A1 . I dont think A2 really changed much anyway.

Show me this sticker-

oh WOW, your ears are 'hot' as Hades lol. I can only hear to ~ 13k

after all the talk of Mjonir3 and Yggys and Flux Mentor I think the 2 best combos are Yggy MiB >> Mj3 and Yggy OG >> Mentor. The MiB adds the missing detail to MJ3 with a black background from the MiB, Meanwhile the Yggy OG / Mentor combo has that black background and details from the Mentor as...

yep
