Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review

No magic in the R2R ladder, just another design. Bill I will have to disagree with your statement. As you know I am building DHT DACs now and previously I was using the ESS Sabre32 Reference (ES9018) DAC chip. It sounded fantastic until we tried the R2R. In our DAC there was no going back. Much more analog, in fact we have been beating most very high priced analog set-ups as we are now out there demonstrating the dac. I also heard I think an early version of the Yggdrasil DAC with CEC 3N transport. I did not find the unit bright sounding but the CEC probably helps in that area. Nice dac maybe for the price but IMO, much left to be desired.

Happy Listening.

yes I have used that in my DHT DAC.

Bill you know I am ready when you are. Read the audio circle link Pat started. I am going at this one by one right now but the R2R was a big jump in improvement and you know that my power supply section and analog section has no real competition. You know me I live only by DHT designs. The phono section will be finished this week. Let me know when you are ready. Happy Listening. Peter

BTW the luxman is 32 bits PCM data

Bill, as I demonstrate the DAC from person to person, the only question that remains is how much. That ususally takes less than 60 seconds. The last few people sold there current very high priced DACs to buy mine. It took a long time to get here and nobody out there competes with what this DAC is doing. You have to experience it for yourself. Guys are selling their analog rigs and converting to digital but I just finished the phono stage for the ones who still want to pop & click! I don't want to sound like a big jerk but when ones goes out, it does not come back.
