I too became captivated by the reviews of they Yggi so I ordered one several months ago and have not been disappointed. I have it in my bedroom system which consists of a Wyred STI-1000 v2 (class D experiment), Dynaudio Contour 20's and Bluesound Node2 source. I've never heard some of the high end DACs they Yggi has been compared to, Cord Dave or Lapizator but have compared it on my main system to the Modwright Elyse and its pretty much a push, I believe the tube driver stage and the good NOS tubes I have in the Elyse keeps it close. I don't think a pure solid state delta sigma DAC would fair as well, even one costing thousands more.
