So no one should buy a Yggy until the upgrade is released? Is that what you're saying? Because I was about to buy one for Christmas.
Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades
It was brought to my attention the Yggdrasil has a Eye opening upgrade in the works .
Sometime possibly spring 2017 one reviewer mentioned killer dac--upgrade from a very Good source.
I already have this dac on my wish list .and will buy as soon as it comes out.
No sence in buying now ,then have to send back in again. It is already very good. it will
Make a lot of $$ companies very unhappy !!

Your saying that the coming upgrade is not a software upgrade but a new hardware release? Wouldn’t that be a completely new DAC model since one of the promises of the Yggdrasil is that it is future upgradable? I don’t think it is right to make a claim like this without fully revealing the source since this could negatively impact sales. Either step up and do a full disclosure or don’t post a rumor. That's what this is, an unsubstantiated rumor. Now someone needs to contact Schitt to get to the bottom of this. |
I don't speak for the company but if there is an upgrade it will be in the form of a pcb replacement, either the USB, DSP or analog board. If and when it's available, that upgrade will be offered as an add-on to the base model and will probably be in the same format as the other buy buttons -- pick the base model and then pick the add-on from a menu with the associated price. Implying that future buyers are going to get the upgraded unit at the same price as today is misleading and, IMO, not a nice thing to do. |
Myself and others have emailed Schiit and told them the red wima cap they use are a weak link 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 evrn if you send it to them ,how Foolish you get a solid opportunity to improve the unit for -0 effort and nothing I evrn offered to send caps for their unit No Charge and pay labor to install They refused. That is why these guys did theirs more detail ,depth and musicality For less then $40 in capaciyors. They must have bought 1,000s of Wima caps for all units use the same . Without question a Solid upgrade.have some one install You can do yourself if handy with a soldering iron. http://www.partsconnexion.com/capacitor_film_amtrans_amch.html |
