Two new Schiit Yggdrasil's released yesterday!

www.schiit.com

Yesterday Schiit now announced two new Yiggdrasil models to be sold, alongside the current original Analog 2 model.

Three "flavors" to chose from.

Both models priced at less than the current analog 2. All three now have different D/A converters chips.

Future sales will determine which two are dropped, and then the remaining model will continue to be made.

Strange marketing "ploy" in my opinion???

There are a couple of comparisons of the models done at the Schiit store in California.

New Schiit Yggdrasil Blind Listening ComparisonThe very first sentence on the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil web page says, Forget everything you know about DACs. I concur in the most unequivocal way possible. Members of the Audiophile Style community are well aware that I absolutely love the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil DAC. I reviewed it back in November... audiophilestyle.com

Well, I guess sometimes less is more.

You know, it really doesn’t surprise me. Schiit thinks outside of the box. I worked at Burr-Brown (think DACs in high end CD players) and worked with design engineers. Schiit probably had two camps… the overdo it guy and the “what sounds best” guy and they just said, “let the customers decide.

A common argument… build to specs or theoretically good, or to the ear. I’ll go with the guy who builds something that sounds good any day.
