I hope those of you who read my preview found it helpful. I am certain every one of you who received an Yggy will be happy with your purchase :)

Yup. Helpful. Also, very confident that I will in fact, be happy with it. Been a long time coming. Thank you.

i wonder how long it will take before the dac broads make it way to the bifrost from the yggdrasil.

This digital filter gives you the best of both NOS (all original samples retained) and upsampling (easier filtering of out-of-band noise) designs—and it is only available on Yggdrasil. 

 
Doesn't the Teac UD501 have this? http://archimago.blogspot.ca/2013/05/measurements-teac-ud-501-pcm-performance.html

The UD-501 was one of the worst DAC purchases I've ever made. It was worse than the ODAC. 
 
Looks like my Yggdrasil order shipped. I should have it by Thursday. I'll burn it in for a week and start impressions next week!

Hey, I'm finally about to buy an HD 800!

(But I will have to wait awhile before I can afford the Rag and Yggy.)
 
I remember you talking about how you thought the HD 800 was better than the Abyss, at least in some ways.

I'm aware that you hate the Teac. I'm thinking about ordering the Yggdrasil - just wondering if this is the same mode that Archimago was talking about on the Teac.

The custom coded filter that the Yggdrasil uses is implemented via DSP chips is unique and there is nothing else currently available that is comparable. Otherwise why would Mike and his team of engineers have spent five years developing the code needed to achieve their 'bit perfect' goal?
