Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades

It was brought to my attention the Yggdrasil has a Eye opening upgrade in the works .
Sometime possibly spring 2017 one reviewer mentioned killer dac--upgrade from a very Good source.
I already have  this dac on my wish list .and will buy as soon as it comes out.
No sence in buying now ,then have to send back in again.  It is already very good.  it will 
Make a lot of $$ companies very unhappy !!

The Yggy can have a direct coupled analog output and still have its SQ changed with replacing those WIMA caps.

R2R DACs requires a post anti-imaging filter to remove the oversampled garbage from intermodulating the signal. That filter would use quality caps in either shunt and/or NFB positions to perform this task. Technically, not in the signal path, but would still influence the SQ to some extent.  

I have an email of inquiry into Chris at Parts Connexion and may be trying this mod myself soon.

I'll investigate the caps. 

MQA is a big no-go with the Yggy.

Got a reply from Chris at Parts Connexion. He did not know about what mods audioman58 was talking about. Did not know the cap values needed and wanted a schematic from me to further the discussion.

Conclusion: I will not not be modding my Yggy per audioman58’s hallucinations.
