    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Just had my first real WOW momements with my relatively new Yggy. Riviera Paradise by Stevie Ray Vaughn. Wow, just wow. And Synesthesia by Peter Himmelman is really blowing me away. I really think it took me around 350-400 hours to get to this level.

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    I have been enjoying my new V20 with the Player Pro app. From what I have read here this app will pass along the signal without re-sampling to android native 48Khz. I am all up in my head worrying about if this is actually working. I am NOT using the DSP Pack they sell, and I am NOT using the...

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    Sorry in advance for this question, as I have a feeling I should be able to find an answer elsewhere in this thread. I just received my V20 (Verizon), and I am trying to determine which app is the best for taking advantage of the full audio quality of the V20. I have plenty of hi-res files...

    New Dragonfly Black and Red Discussion

    Said perfectly, I couldn't agree more. Somehow the "magic" UAPP can fix the problem, but AQ can't?

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Yeah, that is what I figured :( The only question is if the Yggy simply does things better with the AES input, regardless of how it got there, or if, using the transformer "drops" the quality of the signal so that any gain by using the AES input is lost. ???

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Related to the current discussion about cables, I have a question. I am feeding my Yggy as follows: Roon => Raspberry Pi + Hifiberry Digi+ Pro Coax => Neutrik NADITBNC-M Coax to AES/EBU converter (75Ω -> 110Ω) => Balanced cable into AES/EBU input of my Yggy. Is doing the conversion from coax...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Okay, so dumb question time. I just received my Yggy, and it already sounds great. When it comes to break in, does it just need to be left on for 200 plus hours (I will, of course, be leaving it on all the time) or does music need to be pumping through it during the break-in period? I...

    So something like this, with appropriate adapters?  http://www.neutrik.com/en/accessories/aes/ebu-impedance-transformers/naditbnc-m

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    So I have done a little more research, and I am left more confused.  To simplify, I want to take an spdif coax output and convert it to AES/EBU for input into the Yggy.  I found a cable that appears to do it (link above), but then I found something like...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Dumb question.  My source component (at least for now) that will be going into the Yggy (arriving this week) is a Raspberry PI 3/Hifiberry Digi+ Pro.  I would be going from the coax digital out into the Yggy.  Would an SPDIF - AES-SPDIF cable like this one...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Schiit is currently offering the Yggy in black. I ordered mine about a week ago, and silver was as usual, the only option. Anyway, They contacted me yesterday asking if i would accept a black one it would ship Monday. I said "heck yeah!", since i would prefer black anyway. Lucky timing on my...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    I was debating between the Yggy and one of the Holo Spring DACs, just kept coming back to Schiit and liking the company, the business model, etc, plus the glowing reviews and delighted owners that contribute to this thread.

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    I have been lurking on this thread for months, enjoying my Bimby, but feeling the pull to inevitably cave and have to get a Yggy.  Well, I finally caved last night and put in my order.  To start, my Yggy will sit between a Raspberry Pi-Hifiberry Digi+ Pro running Roon and a McIntosh MC6500...

    Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread

    I received my Vali 2 recently, and so far I have not been happy with it. I was really hoping to get that warmer tube sound from the Vali 2, and I am experiencing the complete opposite. This is my first foray into a dedicated headphone amp and into tube gear.  I found the stock tube to be shrill...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    I know it is normal for it to reset when sample rates change, but not sure if one channel should be slower than the other. I know Roon has a setting to add a small delay designed to solve this very problem.

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    I am hoping it is ok to ask a question in this thread.  So I am considering the Yggy, but I do not have any balanced components in my system.  I would be going from a Raspberry PI3/Hifiberry Digi + pro Coax digital/Yggy/McIntosh MA6500 integrated.  Right now I run a Bifrost Multibit, and I am...

    ONKYO DP-X1 | Dual Sabre Dacs | Balanced | Sabre BTL Amp | MQA | DSD 256 | Android 5 |

    Just to chime in on battery life, I had the Onkyo for a couple days. Battery life for me was horrible. I charged it to 100% before turning it on the first time, and by the time it fully booted it was down to 65%. I decided to return it because of the battery life and because I found it to just...

    New Dragonfly Black and Red Discussion

    Well, I got a response from audioquest. It was the stock answer about the vol setting of 22 and Android not working right with that but they did say they have firmware update coming soon and although they didn't directly say it, they implied that it would solve the problem so I will keep my DFR...

    New Dragonfly Black and Red Discussion

    I just sent audioquest a question about the Android volume level. I realize the topic been discussed to death but I just got my red, and I'm happy with the sound with the app that lets you get the volume up, but I would also like to use the better DAC with Google Play music. So without an update...

    Beyerdynamic Akt5p balanced and hifiman DAPs

    I am trying to find an adapter that would allow me to use my akt5p's 2.5mm balanced connection with the 3.5mm hifiman style balanced output. I see adapters on eBay etc that seem to convert the sizes, but I have no idea if the wiring would be correct. If anyone has or knows of the correct one...
