Just sayin'...

Bravo! Especially XXXX Reference Signature Platinum.

I am pretty confident you will be very happy with the improvement it brings. As for a decent digital RCA coax, I was able to get my Shunyata as an open box item for $85, so the expense wasn't very much. I'm sure Ivan would make you a good deal on a Wireworld RCA digital coax cable.

Also, if you need a DAC to use while you send in your Yggy; let me know, I'd be happy to send you my Light Harmonic Geek Out USB DAC on loan while your Yggy is at the Schiit-shop getting the upgrade. Schiit turned my upgrade around in one week, from time of receipt to shipping back out; you just have to get into "the queue" for the upgrade. Just send me a PM if you'd like to borrow it. Cheers!

Thanks for the generous offer Stephen! I'm still leaning towards the Eitr route for now, though I know the coax cable thing is a slippery slope that I'd be susceptible to tumbling down a good ways, haha...

Ha! Totally get the cable slippery slope thing. Maybe a rule of thumb would be to spend in the ballpark what Eitr costs for a cable; something in the $100-$175 price range. Also, you only need a 0.5 meter cable as Eitr could be placed close to Yggy, so that would allow room for a better cable, budget-wise.
