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

Also, does the eeprom chip needing to be replaced get soldered, or dose it just fit into a socket?
They’re letting you install the upgrades yourself, if you think you’re up to it. I have already done both USB cards myself, and would definitely be interested in the self install option. Plus you get to keep the original boards, as Schiit did not return them with the factory installed upgrades. Any opinions on which upgrade might yield the best sound from an old yiggy with A1 and a Unisom USB?
I usually ground myself by working in bare feet on a concrete floor. This seems to work fine as I have never felt any static shock. I feel pretty confident after finding out that I don’t have to solder the chip to the board.
I thought they send you a pre-programmed firmware chip that you simply remove the old one and set in the new one?

if not, please give more specific information.

thanks,

John
