Schiit Yggy DAC is . . . wow

I have been chasing a digital sound for about 10 years and I finally found it. Sprung for a Schiit Yggdrasil DAC (Less is More option) and I haven't been able to get off my couch since I set it up. I have Spatial Open Baffle M5 speakers and I never knew how good they could sound until now. My streamer is a Wiim Ultra, which allowed me the budget for the $2,200 DAC. I have to sing the praises of this DAC. Wanted to recommend it to anyone who might be looking for a streaming upgrade. Don't listen to anyone saying all DACs sound the same. If that were true, I'd be outdoors shooting baskets right now instead of glued to my couch, listening to every playlist I own to hear it again for the first time.

It is great you’re happy. Nothing can beat that. 
 

If you ever have the opportunity to hear a highend DAC (e.g. ESOTERIC) clocked by a high precision master clock (e.g. again ESOTERIC), you’ll be taken to the next level. 
 

Enjoy, but keep reaching for the stars!

@buellrider97 The OG is the most recent version of the A1 or A2 that you own. Since it was a low serial number, I think it would be the A1.

The folks on here can tell you with certainty. The new Schiit DAC designers are also on this thread.
