Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

[theveterans]

The reservation is done on the webpage using the link that Jason posted this morning. Don’t forget to read the fine print at the bottom of the page like I did!

If you didn’t get an invoice then you’re presumably not on the list.

Which browser and computer did you use?. It never worked on mine it’s still asking for shipping info but I already entered my delivery address

I can’t order unfortunately at this rate

Marnie is indifferent to today's Byg news.

It is too nice out here to be indoors. Finnegan is out with me as I check more samples for gold.
The heavy rains we expect will help.

Magically it went through! I don’t know how but it did finally!!!!!!! Went with the $1500 upgrade since my friend is loaning me his almost 20 year old EMM Labs DAC2X
while my Yggy is getting upgrades

 

[Clemmaster]

New dual USB, new Forkbeard/SPDIF input, and new DSP board. Three boards. Sometimes 4 if we have to update your front panel board. As stated on the list page.

And that DSP board presumably will support The Gadget™, right?

 

[rage3324]

Will the upgrade costs be the same for those of us who purchased second hand?

The Gadget's name is Jord, and it'll be a separate product due later this year.

Will Jord be a separate device, or will the gadget functionality be embedded into a preamp or equalizer?

As is Ink.

Separate device.

Singular™ is the analog card.

4. Anyone can buy the Singular card alone for $1K and put it in any Yggy of any vintage.

Hi Jason. Early Yggy owner here, still in love with my Unison OG Yggy, but always curious to hear what's next. Questions...

1. This one card replaces the pair of analog cards in an OG Yggy, yes?
2. How many of these new magicFPGAcustomDAC chips are on that board?
3. Could an OG and Singular analog stage be swapped back & forth, or is some aspect of the upgrade process one-way?
4. What is the return/restock policy/charge for Singular?

 

[MindBreak]

Good to know that the IO and DSP upgrade option will be available after launch. That might be the upgrade path I take, and keep the MIB portion installed (for now).

Edit: unless I misunderstood things again.

1. This one card replaces the pair of analog cards in an OG Yggy, yes?

Yes, one large Singular card will replace the two current analog cards.

2. How many of these new magicFPGAcustomDAC chips are on that board?

One.

3. Could an OG and Singular analog stage be swapped back & forth, or is some aspect of the upgrade process one-way?

Yep, can be swapped back and forth!

4. What is the return/restock policy/charge for Singular?

I'll have to refer to Jason on that, not sure (yet) myself how that would work with a card.

 

[rowdyrobot]

I own a LIM that I bought in 2021, and an OG that I bought on the used market (actually in a parking lot). I love them both. But i"m planning on Byggy-ing the LIM, and maybe I'll Singularity the OG eventually, so I don't have to try to game the system! Phew!

Sounds like slang for some kind of illegal and dirty dealings

 

[theveterans]

One.


Yep, can be swapped back and forth!


I'll have to refer to Jason on that, not sure (yet) myself how that would work with a card.

Sorry to add the final question:

For those of us who upgraded by sending them to Schiit for the full Byggy upgrade, do we also get our old MIB or LIM or OG cards back?

 

[jcflox]

Is Singular theoretically possible in an OG Gungnir? Or do size/space/other constraints prevent it?
