Now try with 256 kbps AAC.

and also try it without knowing which file is which.

and... then try it without turning anything on.......   If you hear a difference - it's all in your mind.......

I'm off to pick up bunch of cables at Infinite Cables - everything I might ever need. Why not?  
 
So Yggy inches closer. Keep those impressions coming please.
 
(I like that this is a dedicated Yggy thread. The other has too much on the Rag which doesn't interest me. We did get a little off track on the DSD issue though... SS Forum is a probably the best place for that.)

I wasn't sold on the Yggdrasil even after all the reviews. The price, $2,299, was still pretty high for me. Until I saw the blank page offered on the owners manual.
"Extra crap from Schiit?" I thought, and my view of the company turned around.
If Schiit is willing to add something as important as space for the human imagination, then they deserve my money. I'm getting the Yggdrasil because of that sheet of paper.
Thanks Jason, Mike, and crew.

But really, now I get to read hundreds of DAC reviews over the next few years as I decide what the best one is for me.

The best one is usually the one you haven't got or cannot afford.

I have the Sonic Frontiers TransDAC and find the Yggy a big step up.

thanks,  in fact i have a TotalDac A1  ( the first exemplar reviewed by 6moon audio)  but it went dead so i need a replacement and i hesitate between fews models int the same price range  ,  a used Chord Hugo  , a used berkeley alpha 1 or thiis shiit.     not a big dilemma anyway..

I can afford it! I'll just.. retire at 83!

Too late for me

The Yggdrasil is fairly expensive, but still somewhat affordable. Most people who have heard it say it's the best DAC they have heard. I wonder how it compares to the really expensive DACs...
 
TRINITY DAC
~$60,000
 

 
MSB SELECT DAC
$89,950
 

 
dCS Vivaldi Digital Playback System
$108,496
(Includes CD/SACD transport, DAC, upsampler, and master clock.)
 

 
Light Harmonic Sire
$120,000
(Not yet released.)

Check this thread http://www.head-fi.org/t/693798/thoughts-on-a-bunch-of-dacs-and-why-delta-sigma-sucks/0_50
The thread starter purrin did test lots of r2r dacs including the iggy.

And one Q, why wouldnt you repair your totaldac? Does that cost more than a new iggy?
