  I would buy a Shiitphone only if it had a fully discrete JEFT analog output stage running in pure class A.

Just don't let your conversations get too "heated"

will this use multibit DAC as well?

Of course. I also want a tube input stage.

I'll probably get one. or 2...

I'm going to create a savings account for my Yggdrasil.. [xxx # of days until my Theta eventually expires] that way when it does expire I have the logical successor to the headphone throne.

Want to thank the messiah for keeping up the endless comparisons between dacs, because I can't afford to. This thread has been instrumental to navigating the world of dacs for me personally and I thank you!
 
Looking forward to the Yggy's arrival.

 

[kazsud]

Great. Can you move on now?

Lmao

Those of you who can't wait to read the impressions of the Yggy - it was on display last month at CanJam Socal (stacked with the Rangarok I believe) and probably at least 100 people auditioned it. You can read some of the initial impressions here. I remember I was at the Schiit booth trying some of the smaller gear, only looking at all the big amps / DACs, but I'd never heard of the Yggdrasil at the time and was more interested in medium/small size gear so I passed over it. There was always someone or another getting a lot of head time on it though and not much movement around there.
 
In hindsight I should've tried it, but I'm sure I'll be pleased with my Gustard X12 and later the Alo Audio CDM (portable DAC / tube amp hybrid) for quite a while anyway. That would tickle my fancy if they released a portable (or at least transportable) Yggy... word?

There were actually 3 of them in attendance at Can Jam with 2 others aside from the one you mentioned. Due to the one at the Schiit table being effectively locked down, I was able to listen to one of the others.

Also, there is a difference between hearing it at a noisy fest with a chain that you're not used to hearing it through, and a great length of time at home with gear that you are familiar with. The impressions will come. Even against other high end DAC's that owners already have.

I think Currawong's comment summarized it: if one listen to well recorded/master acoustic material, then it makes perfect sense for the true 20bit resolution of the Yggy. If one listens mostly to music produced by synthesizer and ADC of 6 to 8bit resolutions, the Yggy won't make much difference anyway.

I know we're meant to be letting it go, but Tuesday wasn't the 20th... Just sayin' 
You were pretty close though - I'll give you that
 
Did I read earlier that you aren't going to be buying this DAC anyway?  How can you be so excited about the release of a product that you're not going to buy?

I recall Purrin stating that the Yggy is capable of extracting plankton from any recording. There is also something to be said for tone.

Im was pretty excited when CERN found the God Particle even though its not going to affect me.

Breakthroughs are always exciting!.

And if it was personally blessed by purrin, the iggy can also extract chlorophyll from stones and prepare a nice veggie burger for you.

Joking aside, SOME music does not contain any extra 'plankton' .. e.g. the electro music mentioned by the OP only contains the pure synth-generated tones and nothing more.
