Two new Schiit Yggdrasil's released yesterday!


www.schiit.com

Yesterday Schiit now announced two new Yiggdrasil models to be sold, alongside the current original Analog 2 model.

Three "flavors" to chose from.

Both models priced at less than the current analog 2. All three now have different D/A converters chips.

Future sales will determine which two are dropped, and then the remaining model will continue to be made.

Strange marketing "ploy" in my opinion???

There are a couple of comparisons of the models done at the Schiit store in California.

New Schiit Yggdrasil Blind Listening ComparisonThe very first sentence on the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil web page says, Forget everything you know about DACs. I concur in the most unequivocal way possible. Members of the Audiophile Style community are well aware that I absolutely love the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil DAC. I reviewed it back in November... audiophilestyle.com

Unless you are a technician its not advised doing the More for Less upgrade yourself. For there is a needed firmware update for the DSD board that does not get changed otherwise. You would have be able to do the firmware update.

Here is what Tom at Schiit said about the More for Less upgrade.


Hello Gene,
Both boards are replaced. All upgrades includes (2) Yggdrasil Analog 2 output cards, and firmware update for the DSP board.
All the Best,
Tom E.

Then my question to that was?


How is DSP board firmware update accomplished? I want to do my own install.


Tom’s response was....


They use special RJ connectors. Due to the need for firmware and hardware updates, these upgrade is highly recommended to be done by Schiit, or by an authorized service center such as Electromod in the UK.



All the Best,
