is anyone using an Aurender streamer with Schiit Yggdrasil?


I am curious if this combination works well. And what would the strengths and weaknesses be? Thanks

Yes. I have a friend I have been helping build a system with for several years. We got him a Yggdrasil several years ago… then recently coupled my Aurender N100 (five years old) with it and made comparisons with a different streamer and DAC. The N100 was a much stronger performer in all respects than the Yggdrasil. For instance we compared separately the Aurrender N100 and Yggdrasil with a Linn midlevel ~ $5K each streamer and ~$5K DAC. While swapping the streamers made only a tiny difference,  swapping the Yggdrasil for the Linn was profound, with the Linn performing better in all respects.

So, yes. An old bottom tier Aurrender really shows itself to be an outstanding streamer. Would be a great match… with room for growth by upgrading the DAC.
