  oh no! someone doesnt think Yggy is best DAC in world! that logicaly means he is troll,lets ban him

I honestly hate to say this: I see there are many newbie and they think that Yggy is the best dac ,  because they didn't hear other high end dac cause if they do , you won't see any of them talking schiit to you .  stick with your own yggy and be happy, don't care about other opinion whatever it's true or fault .
Personally  yggy is good for the price but it didn't impress me , maybe because  I owns a high end dac. for the newbie it's the bargain .
I'm out of this thread .
Peace .

That agooh dude is indeed kinda strange but I agree with you about the schiit hyper hypetrain. Some of the schiit fanboys will enter in some sort of panic mode if you post the slightest disagreement with their often wild claims .. got 'yelled' at just for asking a few Qs a while ago and I wasnt the only 'victim'.
Some schiit chilling would be quite helpful. And some cool headed reviews too .. still a very rare thing around those threads.

Anyway, it's just a personal opinion and an offtopic minirant, no need to inflame it further...

Frankly, the whole Schiit train annoys me as well.  As many know, I own a lot of Schiit.  Is it the best in the entire world end all omg best?  No.  It’s a tremendous value, though.  It allows someone like myself to enter the world of hi-fi without selling an organ or three.  I haven’t heard DACs from the golden age of R2R or anything over the price range of the Yggy I purchased.  I don’t think Schiit wants the hype train.  They are certainly proud of their products, and for good reason.  They’re very good.  I bought the Yggdrasil because, as an EE, I really liked the design philosophy and wanted to give it a shot.  It’s the best I’ve ever heard.  There may certainly be better ones.  I don’t know.  I like this one.  I’m keeping it.  That’s my ‘impression’.  I hope they keep making good products.    I love audio.  I love music.  I love the products these guys make (and others as well – I don’t work for Schiit).  I will never be in the moustache club.  I don’t want to be.  I just want to listen to music.

  Hahahaaa  your ears can't lie or you can't describe the sound
I see many headphoneus supremus but they are useless .

Hello.
 
Since you have owned the Yggy, I was wondering if you could offer a detailed set of impressions of the DAC. Thanks.

 

[goldendarko]

Please don't ask for the trolls thoughts on the Yggy. He's already put them out there and it's questionable he's even heard it

 

[mikoss]

Buys $2300 DAC, gives it 48 hours and decides it sucks, then offers some random comments that other expensive DACs are better. Seems legit to me.

 

[Liu Junyuan]

Oh okay, sorry about that. I thought since he owned it he could offer some detailed impressions. NVM

Hope you enjoy high end crap.

I hate all Chord hype that pop up everywhere and in every thread.

Its sad, really, to see this designer explain how he rack his brain to try find and get at level where yggy is already at..
Many designers by nature are stubborn.

Plus that thing looks like a hideous robot crab,
ready to attack you at night...

Oh well to put things in perspective,

1-Yes the yggy is at the top of the heap in all dac world.

2-Yes there are a handful few other dacs also at the top of the heap,
which may be just as appealing if not more!

3-Yes any and all other few top dacs,
that could possibly match or supass yggy level,
WILL COST MUCH MUCH MORE..

4- The attributes of these rare dacs to have ability to be just as desirable,
does NOT come from accuracy,
but rather,
a more "musical" or "euphoric" approach...

How do I know?
Because I did hear it on a dac twice the price of yiggy...

The sound had a silence where there was ambient noise in actual recording,
and it has more euphoric mids while at same level of detail..

So you see, the yggy is not the only choice,
BUT it is, for me and many others, the BEST choice, when one desires the truth,
The truth is in the original retained samples,
which other dacs throw away...

Theres no hype about that

But I see you like all Yggdrasil hype instead

So, you've heard one DAC that's more expensive than the Yggdrasil, preferred the latter and your conclusion is that "the yggy is at the top of the heap in all dac world"?  In the same breath, you're claiming of a yet-to-be-released new high-end DAC that "to see this designer explain how he rack his brain to try find and get at level where yggy is already at". 
 
This kind of hyperbolic nonsense is precisely why hype-train threads cause so many of us to roll our eyes. Say how much you like your new DAC sure.  Say how much you prefer it to a more expensive DAC, great..even better if you can say why.  But, you undermine your entire message by spouting rubbish about a DAC that hasn't even been released yet.

Not to mention that this sort of hyperbolic praise does nothing more than undermine the credibility of those who objectively assess the Yggdrasil as a great DAC.
