Seems like a great Yggy deal


The current YGGDRASIL is $2449

While cruising through July 2020 Stereophile, the Jotunheim R review encouraged me look further at their website https://www.schiit.com where I discovered the YGGDRASIL GS for $1599. The GS uses the previous older analog1 card but with firmware tweaks performance seems substantially improved.  The 35% $850 price difference makes the GS seem like a great deal.

I have no personal/financial interest. I know that the YGGDRASIL is currently one of the most popular DACs and that they rarely/never go on sale. Just wanted to give a heads up to my fellow audiophiles. Seems that if you get the GS, you likely won’t miss the sonic differences and you can keep the $850 in your pocket- helps plug up the hole.

I have the Yggdrasil GS and think it’s fantastic !!  If I ever get tired of it or think it would be better with analog 2 cards, I can have it upgraded in the future..  but I find it wonderfully musical the way it is...  and With the savings, I bought the Freya+ preamp which is also a Sonic bargain and one of the best preamps I ever owned..
