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

Hello,
I really appreciate what they have done in the audiophile world. Also I think it is smart
the way they approached the audio market like the Japanese car makers did back in the day. Now look at these car companies and what they have accomplished. This could be a beta test to see which sound is preferred by most people. Then they cancel one or two models and build on the ones that succeeded. I own a Schiit Mani and a Loki. I think they are good for the money and it gets some people who cannot afford expensive stuff to get into the Hifi world. Also, It lets you get your feet wet in some formats. I borrowed a buddies turntable and Pink Floyd albums. Then I liked it so much I bought an AT LP3 turntable and a Schiit mani. And started to buy my own Floyd collection. The Loki came later to help the sound of the turntable. Now I am looking for a very good TT to continue my Vinyl passion. Like I said I appreciate what they have done.

I’d be willing take a Schiit for a test drive. Or maybe one of you very generous humans can give a Schiit to me when you’re done moving that Schiit around. 
I promise to cherish that Schiit and never take a Schiit without courtesy.

They’re letting you install the upgrades yourself, if you think you’re up to it. I have already done both USB cards myself, and would definitely be interested in the self install option. Plus you get to keep the original boards, as Schiit did not return them with the factory installed upgrades. Any opinions on which upgrade might yield the best sound from an old yiggy with A1 and a Unisom USB?
