New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I received mine this past week.  Will get a chance to apply it next week.I do find the application instructions lacking.  No discussion of USB and tubes, for instance.  Better instructions, with pictures are needed.  Web based would be the way to ... 
DAC Suggestions Please
I'm a fan of the Schiit Multibit DACs.  Read up on them, here, and elsewhere.www.schiit.com  
Will I benefit from a new DAC that can upscale to 192
mswobo-I seemed to have convinced myself that I can hear the improvement of going from 96 to 192 kHz when comparing the same material.Take a look at the Schiit Bifrost or Modi MultiBit DACs.  They are in the price range of the other options being ... 
Hey Willie Wonka! How easy was it to install that 4490 board in the Schiit??
Starkiller-I replaced by original DAC board with the Uber board, the 4490 sound be ht essentially the same process.  It was very easy overall.  The most difficult part is getting the LEDs to line back up on re-assembly.Although this is a USB board... 
Schiit Modi Multibit
Camera adapter is good, but way more expensive!!BTW, I use one with an AQ Dragonfly, Onkyo music player app and high-rez files as my on the road music kit.  Not as good as Schiit, but not bad.  Waiting on Schiit to make a similar R2R USB DAC.

New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
I'm very interested in what you think about the upgrade @gdhal  
Schiit Modi Multibit
I think that cable will only give you analog out of the iDevice. You should get a Lightning to USB cable.  That should give you bits out, to go into your Modi.  Others can comment if this is correct.

If you like the MM2, try the Gen 5 !! 
Least expensive discrete resistor ladder NOS DAC?
Check out the multibit DACs from Schiit.  Not sure if they are discrete resistor or not (although I assume they are).  There are three of them under $2,000 new.

Between MM2 and Gen 5, there was supposedly a 1.5 level jump 
open request to Audiogon.. please refine your listing filters
It would also be great if the cable listings had a searchable field for length 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
Gdhal-Good that you recognize that the balanced output of the Yggy might be better than the SE.  I understand your desire for an apples to apples comparison with the Oppo, but I think an equally valid comparison is "best" to "best".  Certainly, if... 
Dac upgrade?
I went from an HRT to a Bifrost.  It was clearly better, and that was before Multibit.  The Multibit upgrade was substantial, and i think essential at this point.  If Spotify Premium is 44.1kHz/16bit, I'm sure you will hear a large difference. 
ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?
@tomic601 Yes, both were fully broken in.  The LS28 I bought new on the trade-in deal this summer and it has about 1,000 hours on it.  The REF6 was purchased used and had about 3,000 hours when I put it in the system and compared it to the LS28.
