Hi everyone. Dan, not looking to give you a big ego, but your reviews are really fantastic
I've started thinking about my current DAC and I guess I am asking pretty specific questions - namely, how does the older K-03 (DAC) compare to something like the YGGY?

Dan, I read your initial review, and then the comparison to the K-01x. My take away if that the YGGY is somewhat comparable in SQ to the flagship Esoteric, and based on the different chip implementation, may in fact be perfectly suited to the majority Redbook stuff in my library (and presumably what I will be able to get from Tidal or similar streaming subscription).
I know you previously had a K-03 in one of your systems. Truthfully, I don't know the real delta between a K-03 and a K-01x - and maybe I am asking you to interpolate what you remember from your K-03... but would be grateful to get a +/- opinion on what a modern DAC like the YGGY can deliver with my N100H vs. continuing to use the DAC from the K-03.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this specific application/question.
Best,
Matt
