So the 300 ohm Senns were bypassed because the Asgard has "only" 600 mw available? A few bazillion people own cans (many are true reference) over 150 ohm.

Your use of Acopian caught my eye (I see this post is from December; just reading through this thread prior to trying an Allo Sig for a semi portable rig). I use an Acopian Gold Box "A" in my desktop rig's unDAES-O (24v) for Dante Ethernet/AES feed to Yggy. The Acopians are terrific, and I like their "form follows function" ugliness, lol.

Thanks for the SEED OF MEMORY! The voice is still there!

Wonderful priorities and great work Chris! We are dog rescuers too; 3 live with us now.

Metrum Octave or Bifrost Uber, in both cases fed by bel canto mlink USB (which I really liked). Now I've set the bel canto aside and am going into Yggy Gen 3 USB.

Just getting into jotting impressions, so it will be a week or so. Thanks for the interest!

For me, Yggy break-in was crazy. Performance was "good" for about 300 hrs (150ish playing music). I've "somewhat" believed in break-in before, but in the past it's been "yeah, I think I hear a difference now". In this case, however, a switch was flipped, taking me instantly to truth of timbre in real space. Never before did a component say "OK, now I'm ready, let's listen to music". Which I am now doing, re-listening to everything.
