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?
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. |
BTW - Forkbeard is really useful with the Byggy. I have heard a lot of great DACs in the past 2 months. The Byggy so far has is not the top of the heap, but it does not embarrass in that company.
My 2 favs are the D-1 and the D-15000 |
@yyzsantabarbara , how are you using Forkbeard with the Byggy? Isn’t it a preamp/DSP board? |
