Yeah in this hobby in a $ for $ comparison, in the $100-150 range, the improvements are often a 'bargain'.If you have positive results in your system, $100 - $150 is reasonable.
I've certainly had too many "side-grades" that were way more costly than that (and are in boxes in the garage now).

I still haven't auditioned yggy.
The Directstream taking its place? Always curious to hear where people go from the Yggy.Let's see....I sold my Vidar amp, I sold my Freya preamp, and I am about to sell my Yggdrasil DAC. All replaced by other products. Hardly a worshipper.....
It's one thing to mention things you would like to be different. It's another to incessantly bitch about them. Send an email to info@schiit.com about it and give it a rest.

Irony is... And if that is not broadcasting a powerful complaint about Schiit? I do not know what else could be.
You tell us not to complain.. and then, broadcast how unsatisfied you are with them. If you hate complaining? Then you should have said nothing here and gutted it out quietly.

May I ask why you sold?Let's see....I sold my Vidar amp, I sold my Freya preamp, and I am about to sell my Yggdrasil DAC. All replaced by other products. Hardly a worshipper.....

You're right. Thanks.It doesn't mean that he's complaining about the perormance of his Schiit that he had/has.
That's putting words in his mouth.
He may simply be prepared to pay more or less for gear that he thinks is a commensurate step up in performance.
He may even be downsizing his gear or travelling in a different direction.
If you want to know his reasons for selling his Schiit gear, ask him........
I had microRendu+LPS-1>USB>SU-1>AES> Yggy for a while. No relay clicking that I recall, but I typically listen to albums end-to-end, so rate changes are infrequent. I eventually replaced that with (used) Aries Femto>AES>Yggy, mainly for the reduction in footprint and wiring. No clicks either. I have an Eitr that I used a Gen 2 Bimby and with a Holo Spring KTE 3, no issues with rate changes.I've had an yggy for about a year now with Gen 3 USB.. Love it... I wanna make it "better". I mainly use laptop via USB to my yggy.
I'm well aware of Gen 5 upgrade and eitre.
I'm thinking more along the lines of Singxer Su 1 or matrix X Spdif 2. These are both DDC digital to digital converters or more accurately USB to Spdif converters.
At present I get no muting relay clicking noise unless the bit rate is changed in Jriver media.
Can any one tell me if I am going to get constant clicking with one of the above DDC's every time I switch tracks or stop and or pause the track if I go that route?
I am leaning towards the singxer with its own internal power supply and THE AES/EBU connection.
My reasoning for avoiding Gen 5 upgrade is that although it is the cheaper solution... it is a solution ONLY for yggy.

Hmmm....nowhere did I complain about the performance nor did I say I was unsatisfied with Vidar, Freya, or Yggdrasil. At their price points, I don't know that there is a better amp than Vidar or a better preamp with Freya's feature set. I am convinced that you cannot buy a better DAC than Yggdrasil under for $5500.
