I still have a Bifrost 2/64, do you think the mimir would be a better option over the Bifrost 2/64?- Grunt66

Here I am contemplating squandering a measly $15 to reserve a spot for the latest and greatest BYGGY Yggdrasil. Having owned my Yggy+ OG since January 2024, I take pause and wonder what the BYGGY will bring to the table in the way of sound quality over my Yggy+ OG. Having transitioned from a...- Grunt66

I am contemplating splurging on buying the Red October XL in the upcoming months. It has been 3 years since I started my journey into headphones from my 2-channel listening room. As I approach retirement age and my wife of over 38 years does not share my love of music listening, hence the reason...- Grunt66

Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
I was wondering what others think about Schiit now using USB C for the connection on all of their new gear. Does anyone know the reason for the transition from USB A to USB B. I know there has to be others like me that have several USB A to USB B cables that I prefer for my connection from my...- Grunt66

Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
I am curious, what are the benefits using the USB RME Fireface UCX II over other DDC in a PC to DAC when used in a headphone setup? I watched a few YouTube reviews and it appears it is used more in a professional recording studio. What type of streamers are other Yggy owners using? I had the...- Grunt66

Is anyone using a DDC between their source and DAC? I am using a Mac Mini for streaming connected via USB (Supra Excalibur) to my Yggy+ OG. I have read it is recommended to use a DCC when using a PC when connected to DAC to clean up the signal.- Grunt66

I am inclined to think it maybe the Yggy coax connection that is the issue. The WiiM Pro Plus connects via coax to my Schiit Bifrost 2/64 DAC, Arcam AVR-850 receiver and Pioneer SC-LX901 receiver and works as advertised.- Grunt66

I have a Bluejeans Cable, 75 Ohm. It is perplexing why the Yggy will not work with the WiiM via coax. I have connected a Emotiva CD player and a old Onkyo Integra CD player from the late 80's to the Yggy via coax and it worked. I have connected the WiiM Pro Plus via coax to my Bifrost 2/64...- Grunt66

Yes, I tried that at first and several other 75 Ohm coax cables but none would work. I contacted Schiit and that is what they recommended. I had to order one. Over on the WiiM forum there are some DACS that do not work with a coax connection. I know another forum on this post was having the same...- Grunt66

Update on the WiiM Pro Plus not connecting with my Yggy+ OG. Schiit staff advised me to connect the WiiM via a 50 Ohm cable. The 50 Ohm cable did not work and they could not explain why my Bifrost 2/64 works using the coax output of the WiiM Pro to my coax input on the Bifrost 2/64.- Grunt66

I have a WiiM Pro Plus since November of 2023 but I have been using a Mac Mini M2 Pro connected via USB to my Yggy+ OG with no problems. I had the Yggy+ OG since January of 24 and the Wiim Pro Plus was working when I connected back in January. However, I have opted to use my Mac Mini M2 Pro for...- Grunt66
