    Thanks for sharing. What's your system and did you actually own it for the length of time? I only have the M51 and Eximus DP1 and IMO the YGGY is definitely better all around. It matches very well with my Stax SR-009 system.

    Thanks John. I realize that the M51 isn't perfect but I just love its "perfect" digital volume feature. I still do enjoy it but also have to admit that the Yggy is in another league. Only have 50 hours so far. @Audiojunkie Yes, but at what price?

    Mike I don't think you will be disappointed. As is, it is able to paint a more realistic soundstage than my other DACs and that's tough to do in my book. The real test is how well it stacks up to my heavily modified SACD players.

    My B-Stock Yggy arrived during the thanksgiving holiday. I do love the way it is able to render a the soundstage. It outclassed my NAD M51 even when cold. I wonder how long does it take to complete the break in period. Only 48 hours so far. BTW, you save $200 for going with a B stock unit. Mine looks okay but it has a visible dent on the side plate. Not seen from the front view however.

    Chord Mojo

    purk replied to jp11801's topic in Portable Audio

    I mentioned the same thing on "what are you listening now thread". I have the Mojo for over a month now as Chord representative sent me a sample. It is excellent DAC/amp that really redefined the product segment. John, you should try the MOJO with full sized and harder to drive headphones. It is powerful enough to drive the HD800 and HE1000 really well. The A17/ZX2 > MOJO > HD-800 is a really good combination. I actually think that it is a tad too small in footprint. I wonder what Chord will be able to do given more space. The MOJO is pretty much the same size as the original Astell & Kern AK100.

    We love to hear your impression when you have yours.

    I'm curiously to hear your full thoughts of this system Tyll. I sure wish that you spend a little more time listening to the system, but then again 15 mins of a private audition is really all you need any way.

    Great news! Proud daddy indeed!

    ^ Maybe a straight trade with the HEV-1060. Andy and Steve can always build another DIY-T2.
  12. purk
    How about asking them in advance if you can bring along Andy's DIY T2 and SR009 and setup a mini comparison?

    How about asking them about the revamped baby Orpheus and the cost of the headphones by itself Tyll?

    @ insantiy...great looking stack! Can we have your impressions among the three amps soon?
  15. purk
    Rest up Larry. We want you to heal fast and back to your normal self.

    Instead of getting a sub, how about go with a relative large speaker instead? I used to live in an apartment and I never bother with a sub but used a relative large speaker with large woofers instead. 5.0 for me via Paradigm reference system with no complaints from my neighbor.

    I think they got pissed off that Dr. Dre stole their thunder...and decided to release an Orpheus II and make Sennheiser relevant again.
  18. purk
    Or just get a DIY T2 and bring the SR009/007/HE90 to the next level.
  19. purk
    Do you like the sound of the Torpedo 3 better than the L2 Doug?
  20. purk
    Sony NW-ZX1 & ZX2 should be able to Tidal...then any iPhone and iPod touch can do that as well.
  21. purk
    They probably can shave off half the price if they didn't and continue to spend so much on marketing campaign. They flew in many celebrities for a one-on-one audition as well as to praise their phones. Wayne...we are waiting to hear your impressions.

    It appears that the HE1060 will be available separately...wonder at what cost? KG & Birgir...what shall be a mafia amp for the HE1060?
  23. purk
    I think the amp also accept a line level input bypassing the internal DAC. Wonder how much is the mfg. cost for Senn...15k in total?
  24. purk
    Probably a standard Sennheiser Warranty but at 50K it should come with 10-year power train & 100,000 miles warranty. I wonder how much better is this headphones compared to the original HE90 + DIY T2/Aristaeus.
  25. purk
    I expect that you can get them for around 30K if you are tight with your local Sennheiser dealer. Sell the T2 for 12-15K...then boom....sell 3-4 carbons. Congrats on buying a house!
