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

Sounds like the Less Is More is much more musical and "analog" to those who have heard it.

I had the A1 model and would agree that it could be a bit unforgiving in the highs. It was the only thing I could really fault it for.. supposedly the A2 was better, but it was still somewhat present.

The More is Less sounds like it’s that but on steroids... best measuring R2R out there (supposedly), but some have described it as being too "80’s SABRE-like" in its presentation.

I put an order in for the LiM version because if it addresses my biggest complaint of the previous being too "hot", I think I’d be pretty much set on what I’d like out of a DAC.

Plus, sounds like Moffat prefers it himself.
The Less is More variant supposedly improves on the treble issues which were present in the previous iterations of the Yggy. I had the A1/GS, and I also noticed these issues.

I loved everything else about it tho. Sounds like the LiM may not have quite the same level of plankton (for the super discerning and highly resolving systems), but that it's certainly sufficient in detail. But, the timbre, dynamics, and bass articulation is reported to be on point.

If true, I'm excited to hear it!
