Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades

Synergistic Black fuse.

There it is!!!!! 

Cheers George

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

 Same with this statement he made.
" There is 6 Wima caps per channel 12 in total. Without question in the signal path."

Cheers George 

audioman58 your other thread that you started yesterday which was a duplicate of what you just posted above, it wreaked of shilling, and the mods saw fit to remove it.


As for your previous statement

audioman58 OP
2 friends in the U.K have upgraded to these far superior
Coupling caps. Schiit totally ignored my tip .I heard it first hand with a Hifi tunjng supreme fuse ,even that they refuse to install even if you send it to them ,how Foolish. 

I would too.


Hate to inform everyone, but there are no coupling caps. The Schiit Yggdrasil is direct coupled from D/A converter chip all the way through to the outputs with dc servos handling any dc offset. Which means there are no coupling caps in the signal path.

The Wima caps audoman58 is talking about, are just to bypass the electrolytic caps with (decoupling caps) and are fine for doing that. They are not coupling caps and have no music signal passing through them all.

Cheers George
 

From the Yggdrasil circuitry explanation
"direct coupled throughout"

Sorry but direct coupled, means it’s dc coupled throughout, this means, "no caps" in the signal path, sorry to say someone’s having a lend of you. The Wima’s are all to do with power supply by-passing.

Cheers George

The only way to know for sure is to trace the signal.

Good luck with that, being a multi layered PCB.

Or you can believe what  Mike Moffat, formerly of Theta said about the  description of the circuit topology, that the Yggdrasil:

the red wima cap they use are a weak link 2 friends in the U.K have upgraded to these far superior Coupling caps

Hate to inform everyone, but there are no coupling caps. The Schiit Yggdrasil is direct coupled from D/A converter chip all the way through to the outputs with dc servos handling any dc offset.

Quote Schiit:
Analog Stages: Fully discrete JFET buffers for balanced output and discrete JFET summing stages for single-ended output, direct coupled throughout.

Schiit hold to the theory that the best coupling cap is no cap!

The Wima cap that was changed was probably a power supply bypass cap for electrolytics, and the red Wima is about the best you can get for this duty.

I hope this isn’t true since I just bought one!

If you just got it then you can send it back for a refund as they have a trial period.

But then this new model could be hoax as well.

Ask Schiit about you sending it back, because you want the newer model that’s coming and see what they say.

Cheers George

one reviewer mentioned killer dac--upgrade from a very Good source.

Can you point/post this link??
