DAC question
Yeah, heard the Schiit Yggdrasil last week at a friend's house and it was really great. It bettered a number of higher priced DACs in his SOTA system. I've had a mindset that DSD would be a requirement in any future DAC purchases for me, but the "Yggy" has me rethinking that concept. If I had the coin right now, I'd be buying Schiit Yggdrasil. More impressed w/that company each time I hear their gear. Their sense of humor doesn't hurt either. Cheers, Spencer |
My conversation with their rep: I do not think the warm up on this unit is reasonable, to much on time. With the Yggdrasil thermal equilibrium can take upwards of 48 hours depending on ambient conditions, in a well air conditioned room it can take beyond 48 hours.
