    Life after Yggdrasil?

    I owned the Benchmark dac2, Chord 2 Qute , etc and they are all brighter than the Yggy .

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Well I had the Gumby and Yggy at the same time and I really didn't feel the Gumby was remotely close to the Yggy. In fact , I sold the Gumby for another Yggy I felt so strongly about it.  I saw the comments about the Gumby being 90% of the Yggy . I think its nonsense. I absolutely  do not...

    The USB input in my experience has better resolution and less treble harshness . I have a USB streamer so I'm in luck .

    Have you bought a replacement cable for the 650's ? I did and noticed significant improvement in resolution . The stock cable stinks .

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    According to many here , the delta sigma Gungnir was without question warmer sounding than the Yggy . My problem with this Gungnir was a minor lack of treble resolution . I have sent my unit back for the multibit upgrade . I will let you know how it sounds when I get it back compared to the...
