My answer to your question, ‘Is the Yggdrasil a quality DAC?’ I can respond with an unqualified ‘Yes.’ I purchased the ‘Garage Sale’ version with the former ‘quality parts’ from older versions I was was quite pleased, but noticed some oddities on the sound stage, with instruments appearing where they shouldn’t have been, like at my feet, (so I upgraded to the ‘Less-is-More’ with the new analog boards, chip, and Unison USB. I seldom use the USB, but the new analog cards and ‘Less-is-More’ chip brought a new ‘cohesiveness’ to the presentation. The sound is very clear, compared to my analog sources, and could be characterized as ‘forward’ as above, but I have never experienced more clarity than through this DAC. I’m waiting until after my taxes are paid, and then I plan to upgrade again in order to gain the ability to control source selection through remote control. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Some people, including Jason Stoddard (one of the owners) is reported to prefer the Gugnir, but I can’t say why. Being that the Yggrasil is top-of-the-Line for Schiit, I think it is a good bet.
Schiit Yggdrasil Less is More, is it a quality dac ?
Hi, I am very interested in the Schiit Yggdrasil Less Is More dac
I am wondering if it can compete with Gustard r26 or Denefrips Pontus to name a few, also as I live in a remote region of the world, how is the quality, construction vise?
Anyone have any experience with this dac ?
Ps. I use a Primare Dac30 and have enjoyed it for many years, but was wondering if something better was out there that doesn’t cost crazy money.
Thanks
