Betcha Schiit will explain the wiring change from one voltage to another, they seem owner friendly.  
 
Might as well learn how to do it correctly!  
 
Tony in ….=​

Betcha they won't, although they would probably modify a unit for someone for a small fee.  Too many liability issues telling someone to open a case and work on parts designed to carry mains voltages.  Some nit wit would likely try to do it while it's plugged in.... Zzaaap.

 

[Peaceofmind]

Schiit wouldn't give out that info because of liability issues.

I've noticed that my Schiit even smells better after a bottle of wine.

my schiit moves faster after a super spicy chicken curry 

 

[tonykaz]

Betcha?  Yur on,  
 
I'll take the bet!  
 
And I'm nit wit enough to do it live, I ain't afraid of no measly 120 Vac!!!  I'm a he-man, yes sir eee.
 
If'n it put me in a box my wife would send Schiit a thanky you note with a bottle of 25year. 
 
Tony in ….
 
ps.  I'll even wet-fingers test it to prove it's live.  That's the kinda man I am!!   Maybe even a Youtube video of me doin it while taking a shower.   I'll become a legend !

Thinking a step down transformer is a better solution. (I would imagine 120V at 50hz would be ok.) The worst shock I ever took was 120V while unknowingly standing in a small puddle. Hurt much worse than 277V, which I felt once from a faulty 480V breaker. I wouldn't re-solder the windings, use a xfmr if Schiit says 50hz is ok.

Soldering involves voiding warranty, and is an option if and only if you know how to solder. For those who don't, a lump is still a lump.

 
Yeah it's not like there are a million different shops that can do it for you. Warranty doesn't transfer when sold used anyway. But by your reasoning, the 0.000001% of population that buys expensive Yggys AND move between voltage areas are "outta luck". I guess they would just buy a transformer then.

 

[hekeli]

Hekeli, if you know how to change the input voltage on the Yggy between foreign and domestic input voltage, I for one would like to know which wires to soldier.

 
I bet it's not rocket science to identify wires coming out of a transformer. Do it legally and take it to a electronics / tv repair shop or whatever.

Which would degrade the sound somewhat if I'm not mistaken ?

Why doesn't Schiit just quote a fee for changing input voltage on their DACs? Job is done right, Schiit gets a fee, everyone is happy.

That would be really expensive. Assuming the fee is neglegible, the cost of shipping the Yggdrasil to the states and back would cost nearly 300 dollars USD by itself. Just to change the voltage...

 

[Peaceofmind]

You're right, I just want to know which wires to soldier to do the job myself.

But if they did that wouldn't they be indirectly saying it's okay for the consumer to start litigating them if anything goes wrong?

 

[Peaceofmind]

That's why I wish someone here on the thread who know about electronic, not Schiit, explain how to make the changes.

That's putting a silver lining on an otherwise frustrating condition.  "Look at the shiny chicken!" is a running derivative joke my daughter and I have about her eldest...  But  I know it's stunting her potential from her lack of focus, and it hurts.

The depth of experience that my shifting attention has brought into my life has been worth it, IMHO. I can easily 'over-focus' though. I was lucky in that, at school, I could usually just listen to the lecture or work in class and ace the tests. But I did zero homework unless it was interesting to me, so I got a lot of Cs.

I mean, it's because of ADHD that I started painting, writing, got into Head-Fi, started lifting weights (preventing yourself from being crushed by heavy weight has a way of focusing the attention), got into motorcycling (a more engaging way to travel), beer, all sorts of kinds of music, lived all over the country, etc.

My career was difficult until I developed systems, though, and I am most anxious at work because nursing isn't a profession that has much tolerance for 'lateral thinking'.

Neutral Grain Spirit, its basically mass produced 190 proof pure alcohol produced in medical grade giant factories, and then distilleries buy it and water it down to make vodka, sometimes though they will run it through their own stills just so they can say it was pot stilled like Tito's does.

Again, its not bad vodka, but once youve found a good draft distillery it will be hard to go back. And its still an excellent value proposition compared to anything else at the vast majority of liquor stores nation wide.

Purchased a new local vodka yesterday. Local still, local grains, all done in house. Also got a new gin after receiving assurances that the spirit is distilled in house - also from local winter wheat.
