It will be interesting to see what these new analog boards will do for the YGGY..
Wondering if the Gungir will be the recipient of any new analog updates???

TOTL = CD Transport and Yggy 2 with the new boards....

Aren't the new boards supposed to be sidegrades? At least such was my understanding.

I think your correct, they did mention "different" flavors, so wondering if you will be able to order one or the others??
If you have to send it back to Schiit for the change-over this will be a minor pain.

Be interesting on how they market and announce this one?

Autonomy would be a great update for Yggdrasil. Send it in once, never have to send it back again.

Granted, that would take a redesign of the chassis which could be a PITA at the beginning but it would probably save both Schiit and its customers a lot of pain down the road. Plus Yggdrasil is their statement DAC, so it would make sense for it to get Autonomy as well.

Great idea, but I think the YGGY has 6-7 boards in it?
This would indeed make things probably more costly etc..

Will be interesting for sure...

Many friends have the Chord dacs, but I am holding off for a Yggy from the B2 I have and really like.

I'm absolutely of the send it to them to upgrade school and let them figure out what to do with the leftover screws.
Of course, if 2 flavors are offered I could upgrade one to chocolate and the other to vanilla.
But they will have to come up with some sort of descriptive verbiage to differentiate them otherwise it would be a "potluck" scenario,
or like Cracker Jacks, you don't know what the prize is until you buy the box and open it.

For me changing out a board isnt a big deal...but you might have to swap out eproms etc on co-existing boards as well.
This isnt hard, but for some it could be difficult from a bent pin thing and possibly a ESD issue.

Would be neat to have a Yggy with all (3) boards in the unit and be able to switch in-between them..

Probably a $5K unit?

I did the Unison upgrade myself, my first time ever doing something like that, and I didn’t find it difficult. I honestly really enjoyed it! However, I did redo my speaker crossovers and that was much more cumbersome. The Yggy doesn’t really need an upgrade for me but I am definitely intrigued by the options and what those will sound like.
Also, I’m fairly certain Mike’s inbox is loaded this morning...

Yes, that's what I heard too. Interesting concept - hopefully Schiit will bring different flavors of analog boards to the Bifrost 2 as well.

Yggy lacking Autonomy is the final obstacle (aside from my wallet) to get it

Same here, shipping cost to send back for upgrades would be obtrusively expensive for me.. I would very very seriously consider getting the Yggdrasil if it had Autonomy and also a slightly smaller form factor making it a bit more spaciously manageable.

Sounds like you are describing Bifrost 2.

Biifrost 2 does not have AdaptiClock though, which can make or break some setups

I'll continue using Modi Multibit until the Yggdrasil or Gungnir get remote control and Autonomy. Sounds like they have higher priorities to work on than upgrading their high-end DACs.

Same here; the Eitr+Modi Multibit combo convinced me that it is better to hold for those DACs that have AdaptiClock
