Schiit Yggdrasil DAC ??

BTW, an update on Schiit Yggdrasil's availability was just posted, and promised to be less than one week from now!!!

Winson - also some good info on MQA available here, although not as extensive as in the new issue of TAS.

Why does Schiit use such difficult names esp. since they aren't really exotic, just sound that way. Well not really of Germanic/Slavic/Norse origin, just some made up part of the world that doesn't exist.

The product names are all based on names and terms found in Norse mythology. Is it gimmicky? Sure. But if Wilson Audio can refer to their woofer modules as "Puppies", calling an amp "Ragnarok" is no worse an offense.

As for the name of the company, you generally can't trademark profanities. So "Schiit" with it's spelling is allowed, while "Shit" would not be.

They have made some stuff with tubes, perhaps with enough outcry they will heed your call.

Jason Stoddard (one of the co-founders) has stated that they have no intention of doing a tubed DAC. It would take a lot of complaining to make that happen.

Thanks Bill.

I am in Europe and TAS is pretty hard to find here....

Released today! Get yours now!

Soon, after burn in and proper A/Bs we will know how good a stock Yggy is. Just saw the pics on the website and I see several things to mod on it that will make quite an improvement.....he he.....not even in anyones hands and already I am tweaking it.
