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

The Less is More variant supposedly improves on the treble issues which were present in the previous iterations of the Yggy. I had the A1/GS, and I also noticed these issues.

I loved everything else about it tho. Sounds like the LiM may not have quite the same level of plankton (for the super discerning and highly resolving systems), but that it's certainly sufficient in detail. But, the timbre, dynamics, and bass articulation is reported to be on point.

If true, I'm excited to hear it!

Like Tvad I had real issues with the highs from my Y2. It was music dependant, if there were no really high frequencies it wasn't an issue, but I absolutely loved everything else about it, so I decided to spend a ton on cables to "fix" it, no good. I always thought that the power cord/ conditioner folks were crazy, but with great reluctance I bought a used hospital grade isolation transformer and the problem was fixed! I now use a UPS that feeds the output through an inverter, so it is always putting out its own generated/conditioned 120V. It's not better than the transformer, but it handles more of a load, and I can use it for additional components. So, don't think Tvad's crazy, the Yaggdrasil can sound harsh, but it can also be tamed for little money if you go with a used isolation transformer.
