New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
So what do you get for your $550? Two new analog boards with 4 really expensive DAC chipsSo from this it seems they are changing the dac's from the AD5791 to something else, you seem to be buddies with them gdhal ask them what the 4 new dac chips are? Cheers George |
So from this it seems they are changing the dac's from the AD5791 to something else, you seem to be buddies with them gdhal ask them what the 4 new dac chips are? No. I believe (but could be wrong as the issue of the chips is rather secretive at the moment) they are using the same chips, just new ones. |
@chayro On 10-17-2017 8:42am you posted "My suggestion is to stop thinking about it, leave the dac in the system for a month and then take it out. Sometimes, the benefit of a new component can be better judged when removed from the system after listening." Boy are you correct. I just removed the Yggy yesterday and sent it back to Schiit to be upgraded. I've reverted back to using my Oppo - and even changed the filter setting (courtesy of @shadorne recommendation) to "linear phase slow". Regardless of the filter setting, I can hear a night-and-day difference! While my system with the Oppo sounds good, it sounds like crap in comparison to sound I had on Tuesday with the Yggy. |
I'm glad. Sorry we seemed to get off on the wrong foot back in the thread, but I think you see that this hobby, much like wines, take a lot of listening (tasting) and patience. You just can't prejudge a component by what others say. You see? After listening, you don't need anyone to tell you whether what you are hearing is "better" or not. You'll know. And if you don't know, it ain't better. Now - don't take this the wrong way, but you may learn another lesson from your experience - an upgrade isn't always an upgrade. But that's part of the learning process. Just enjoy the journey because that's what it is. Regards. |
