Finally I'm back up and running with the Yggy 2 and a beautiful new MSI GS75 laptop. I'm digging it! Actually, digging it a LOT so far. And I'm plenty surprised that the better FLAC files can really give my SOTA rig a good run for the money (hard for a vinyl junkie to admit). The Yggy 2 is definitely better than I remember the original version. Not by miles, but still a meaningful difference. But still not sold on the USB 5; seemed a bit bright and lean when I tried it at first - running through my old Audiophilleo converter for now, but I'll try USB again after more run in.

If you want to run S/PDIF, I very highly recommend the Schiit Eitr...
