I missed something. What new Yggdrasil news?

It's in the latest discussion.

Ah, I don't like listening to those. What time is the comment made, or what did he say?

I had a pair of those subs in an earlier system and room. I didn't use DSP, but instead I figured out wavelength at the crossover frequency by comparing frequency response curves (I know, I know, wavelength depends on air temperature and humidity, but Northern California is relatively easy to manage that way and this was just approximate anyway) and placed them relative to the main speakers (KEF Ref 1s) so that they'd be in phase at that frequency. It worked surprisingly well. In fact, memory of that old system is still my benchmark, although the rooms I have speaker systems in these days are a lot trickier and I depend on DSP room correction to get comparable or better results.

For my ears stereo subs located close to the mains are required to make the crossover frequencies sound good.

Hmmmm.... Interesting euphemisms

Tag, I'm it. ...and I got nothin'.

I knew a lot of "Daves" when I was working. Those were the guys I always listened to.

Did you work with Mrs. McCave?

Sorry, I don't remember the exact time. But Mike casually dropped the bomb that they were working on new Yggy analog cards. As in plural. Mike liked one version, while Dave liked another. Though, the gist was new boards were coming soon for the Yggdrasil.

A shame that the Gungnir doesn't get the same treatment...!

10:30ish "Yes we are working on different analog boards for the Yggy" - @Baldr Best transcription I can get you.

So it's just Mike talking. Not an "announcement." He's working on lots of things that may or may not ever see the light of day. Don't get overly excited, folks.

They did expound on it with different flavors, but I know it is not going to make be leave Yggy backorder in hopes of a flavor that might be better for my tastes being 'soon(tm)'.

Who says it's not? But I do know that Yggdrasil is FAR easier to work on than is Gungnir.

I wonder if that's can be a reason that Yggrasil having Autonomy is a low priority

Biifrost's upgrade capability

Autonomy™ Architecture: Easy Street to the Future

Turn Bifrost 2 around, and you’ll see that this DAC is completely modular. Not only that, the modules are designed to slide in from the back of the chassis, meaning this DAC will never have to come back to Schiit for upgrades—you can do it yourself. Firmware updates? Sure, if there are firmware updates, just use the external MicroSD card slot—again, no need for it to come home. Compare this to other DACs, even DACs costing many times more. Only Bifrost 2 provides complete hardware and firmware upgradability, without sending the product in for service.
