@yyzsantabarbara , thanks for your impressions on the “Byggy”.
As much as I like the Yggy, I’m not sure the upgrade it contemplates is anything I need. I have no need for Forkbeard, and the improvements seem to be modest. I have other fish to fry and might be interested in moving in a different direction anyway after ten years.
Any upgraded to a Schiit Yggy Singular?
I’m currently using an original Yggy and got on the list to upgrade mine to their new Yggy Singular (affectionately known as “Byggy”). I just received my notice that my number was up for the upgrade and am a little on the fence about it.
They changed the topography of the Singular to an in house made Delta-Sigma DAC, and they had advised they had run into supply problems for their boards, which created delay. I haven’t heard much about the new version other than the long thread at SBAF, which I take with a grain of salt.
I have some other fish to fry in my rig, but my DAC is ten years old, so an upgrade is probably in order. The upgrade runs $2k. It was highly regarded ten years ago, but there are a lot of new players now, so I’m really coming at this from scratch.
Anybody have an opinion on the new Yggy?

No problem. I think I will be forced to keep the Byggy. My grand plans of using the imersiv D-1 DAC on 2 systems without changing cables is not going to work, without an XLR/RCA switchbox. I will be keeping the Byggy until then or maybe long-term since it does sound good in my office system. I will be using the Schiit Valhalla 3 OTL/OCL preamp with a custom passive RCA switcher that SpaceTechLab in Canada is building for me. It could be great. This is not the same switchbox that I mentioned first, that is grander product and still in the idea stage of a friend. |
Considering that you are using some goofy golden-ear speakers, you should probably focus on the other fish first, fry em with some garam masala.

@goodlistening64 The #16 is much better than the Wotan and #8. I may have misstated something. BTW - The new Schiit Byggy that I was hoping to sell and use my imversiv D-1 on 2 systems. Well Plan A failed and I need to now keep the Byggy, Plan B. I have about 24 hours on this unit, and it is really good. I read that this unit needs about 2 weeks of burn in but already I can say that for 2-channel this is the best Yggi I have heard. For headphones, I am not so sure. The Byggy can even be legitimately compared to the D-1, it is not as immersive as the imersiv but it is rather close. |
