YBA PRODUCTS


I just purchased their PASSION 650 stereo amp. Some of the sweetest solid-state Watts I have heard; this is after letting go of my BEL CANTO 40 SET AMP.  Given how wonderful YBA products are I am wondering why I’ve heard of them only once or twice in the last dozen years or so, and I think both times have been me. Anyone out there have first hand listening experience with YBA?

Mcondo , do you find the same as far as the sweetness of the solid-state sound? I owned an  Integra for years.  I loved it as well.  Sometimes I long for some serious WPC to exercise my very efficient speakers to Serious SPL levels with even better sound than my SET at low volumes.
I have a blue laser yba cd player . Going on 15 years. It’s so musical or sweet so refined. I have tried others but always come back to my blue laser. My local yba dealer went out of business. So no chance to upgrade. 
See my system page. I use their audio refinement line wit proacs and mogami wire. Love the sound. 
I have their Audio Refinement Complete Integrated Amp in my second system. It's a sweet little integrated amp.
I’ve got a YBA WD202 dac direct connection to poweramp here that does everything but mix you a drink, it was very good stock, but with a simple buffer opamp change 10min job (they used the oldest nastiest $1 opamp TLO72), changed for the "fairly" good OPA2134, which is YBA’s stock for the I/V stage also, turned it into something pretty special.
Now I don’t go much for DS dacs, but this one is a hybrid, some 6bits of R2R multibit and the rest DS.
