RE: Yggdrasil 2, I wonder where the cue stands # wise?

I'm guessing they are backed up a bit. I got my RMA notice on April 10th and sent my Yggy in right away. Received an e-mail that my DAC arrived at Schiit on April 13th. Have not heard anything since.

It seems like they doubled the thruput after the Great Pause of 2018.
And Fed Ex has dropped the ball to the extent that they now are using UPS as their shipper.

This change could be yet another factor in why they are slow in shipping.

Less than two months until my 2018 European tour begins. I've made my peace with a Gadget arriving sometime thereafter.

Better the Gadget than the thing.........

Right now I am in the queue in position 39 & 40 for the A2 and Gen 5 USB upgrades and 1 day shipping both ways. I would be very displeased to pay $238 for shipping and my Yggy just sits there for awhile. I am hoping they clear up whatever issue they are having and can provide a quick turn around on the upgrades.

My friend @Ableza said his (2) Yggy upgrades to A2 have moved forward nicely in the queue.
I suspect the shipping is gonna be an issue, for folks who don't live in the US.

Interesting that Drako thinks the La Scala beats the Yggdrasil.

I owned a La Voce II prior to my Yggy and there is no contest - the Yggy destroys it.

I've talked to a few people who heard both Aquas and none seemed to think there was a big difference between the La Voce and the La Scala....

I don't know the Aqua DACs, but I can see someone preferring a good NOS DAC to the Yggy because of differences in how they sound, with NOS being a bit more vivid/romantic. I don't, even though I own two good resistor ladder DACs, one NOS, besides the Yggy. Just different flavors, with the Yggy winning first place on my speaker system (see sig below).

To quote Leo Kottke and Nikita Khruschev:
"When shrimps learn to whistle."

It just occurred to me. Is the shrimp whistling required for the multi-channel DAC or the HDMI->(something better) adapter? Or both?

 

[wink]

Love that track

 

[Ableza]

Whistling shrimp are well known to sound like ass, and are to be avoided at all times.

...... except when played on a 12 string Taylor guitar by a virtuoso......

Just out of curiosity, I tried using three DACs simultaneously.
PC > USB > nano iDSD > Coax out > RCA Splitter > (micro iDSD + Yggy)
And it worked, even at 24/192
