RE: Are audio reviews biased?

I take it you are going to be playing hi res right? There would be no other reason to buy this dac. Otherwise you could just go with the upgraded bifrost or gungir.

I've had an Yggy for about a month, so I been listening serious. It has incredible separation. So much so that it sounds quite different from any other source I've ever had. It's so low distortion it sounds different, but you realize it's the lack of distortion you are hearing, or not hearing. I also think it has a small increase in the quality of timbre against my Sony HAP-Z1.

Rolling equipment is the audiophile's bane.

Audio mags? They get paid to do a job just like anybody else. I refer you to the recent review of YG Acoustic speakers in the recent Stereophile that came out during the MQA set to. I decided not start a thread and flame that speaker company until everybody in the world knew exactly what I think about that company, it's owner, and it's speakers. I would have gone a little easier on the reviewer, but damn dude, you go into a speaker factory and they start hiding the crossovers? Then they tell you, "They're so good they're a secret!" Really? Then I got to see them! No he didn't do that. To put it bluntly they did this review like these $150,000 speakers are for real, and worth considering at that price. I would disagree.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
