Default Schiit's in the house

The YggY arrived in perfect condition last Friday. Thanks Greg!

Setup was the easiest ever - as soon as I connected the USB cable my Surface Pro downloaded the correct driver automagically and asked for a reboot. Done.

What was interesting was that all this went on before I turned on AC power to the DAC, so the USB input is powered by the source component.

It's been fed a constant stream of bits for the past 36 hours.

This morning I started listening for the first time. Very impressive. Can't wait for the full break in period to be over.

One interesting thing so far. I compared straight Redbook 44.1 kHz/16 bit into the DAC with 4x up-sampling and 24 bit interpolation by JRiver and the latter sounds much more natural and relaxed.
