I purchased a Schiit Yggdrasil (2300 USD) about a year ago, a fairly inexpensive unit; it's a fantastic unit. However, I sold a Monarchy 22B, (always ran in balanced mode) which the Yggdrasil replaced.
It sold for 1100 when new in the early 1990's,
Sold for 450 USD on ebay. The Monarchy 22B was (is) an outstanding performer, and has a superior build quality to ANYTHING near its price of 450.00.
