I'd bet it will-if for no other reason to add another bullet point to a self-proclaimed STATEMENT product. Gosh I want info on this-and some more popcorn.
Any updates on the Rag release yet?

Still think they said the DSD will be a standalone box. 

 
DSD is to the Yggdrasil
as 
HDDVD is to the Xbox 360?

I agree but...I still own 90ish HDDVDs (about the same as my Blu-rays). They look better too.

 I fought the good fight-and lost. :/

Dumb question here, how would the Ragnarok work with a set of powered speakers? I have a Bifrost/Asgard combo with a pair of Adam A3x's and Grado 325si's.  I love everything about this setup, except switching the damn cables when I want to listen to headphones.

Just use the pre-outs. Assuming they're supplied. I would be shocked if they aren't.

just out of curiosity, can the current mjolnir power a set of krk rokit 8s? or would i need the rag down the line to get the most out of them?

Are those head or ear phones? If not, then no.

If the mjolnir has pre-outs it will (Basically a line out with volume control - in simple terms). Just check on the website.

The Rokits are self-powered monitors, so yes, the Mjolnir would work as a pre.

Any chance these babies will have switchable voltage?

If you mean a switch on the back for 220/110V then i'd LOVE to see these on all schiit products.

Me too, it's a big part of the reason I'm getting rid of my Lyr and Bifrost (moving to Europe).

Based on my conversations with Jason, he's no fan of DSD and Mike Moffat truly despises it. Between that and Schiit's keep-things-as-basic-as-possible-if-not-more-so approach, I'm betting their only DSD product will be the standalone box. Which, as Jason said to me, you can buy for little money then toss after you run out of DSD to play with. Maybe someone who gets to RMAF can pin him down and report back.
 
Meantime, if anyone knows a method of ripping SACDs that doesn't involve tracking down an old Playstation and reenacting Frankenstein, I'd be interested and grateful.

I know there is another way, but it's like $10k if im not mistaken to buy the equipment.

Gave this some thought and i really cannot think of any way to do this (rip sacd's). I'm out here in the Far East and for some reason the fact that everyone and his dog seems to be making 'dsd-capable' dacs gave me the impression that you guys in the US/Europe are swimming in seas of dsd's and sacd's... The current state of affairs appears much different. Seems odd that so many manufacturers are trying to support a format that is used by so few. May be it helps sell dac's cos it's a 'feature' or something...
