Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

One possible solution for 'noisy' ac power is to use an isolation transformer or a much more expensive power conditioner.
One advantage to using an isolation transformer is the output is 'balanced' (±60VAC) as this can also yield a SQ improvement in and of itself.

Would something like this work?

Got the Yggy+ LIM in today. Very much enjoying it so far!
Got the OG A2 boards which are going to go in the old chassis so I can do a direct AB between the two, just waiting on a ROM chip to arrive currently. Currently the old chassis has the MIL boards.
The new chassis is WAYYYY easier to open and swap boards so that's great. Also did quickly check and the LIM is indeed genuine NOS so that's cool! (Kinda wish it had higher sample rate support so HQP users could stick it in NOS and take full advantage though).

Will have a video coming comparing all three.

Very much looking forward to your thoughts.

Yes, that should do the trick.
You should also be able to find non medical grade transformers, which should cost less.
And if you're handy with DIY, the core transformer can be found for well under $100.

If you can, please compare SE outputs. I read Yggy OG has gimped SE outs but LIM is fine

That is super news; I've been waiting patiently!

Ah! Consider reading @Jason Stoddard ‘s post (see below)

So, seriously, let's stop this talk of "gimping." Repeating hearsay is never good. Especially when it's an opinion based on a misconception.

Thanks for the link. SE out sounds great to me despite the knowledge of the potential ‘gimping’. Jason post clears it up for me

EDIT: nvm, issue sorted

 

[madFloyd]

I'd be very curious to hear what owners of the Yggy+ think about the difference with NOS mode engaged. So far I haven't been able to detect a difference.
