Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades

I don't speak for the company but if there is an upgrade it will be in the form of a pcb replacement, either the USB, DSP or analog board. If and when it's available, that upgrade will be offered as an add-on to the base model and will probably be in the same format as the other buy buttons -- pick the base model and then pick the add-on from a menu with the associated price.

Implying that future buyers are going to get the upgraded unit at the same price as today is misleading and, IMO, not a nice thing to do.

Myself and others have emailed Schiit  and told them the red wima cap they use are a weak link 2 friends in the U.K have upgraded to these far superior 
Coupling caps  ,Schiit totally ignored my tip .I heard it first hand with a Hifi tunjng supreme fuse ,even that they refuse to install evrn if you send it to them ,how 
Foolish  you get a solid opportunity to improve the unit for -0 effort and nothing
I evrn offered to send caps for their unit No Charge and pay labor to install 
They refused. That is why these guys did theirs more detail ,depth and musicality 
For less then $40 in capaciyors. They must have bought 1,000s of Wima caps for all units use the same . Without question a Solid upgrade.have some one install 
You can do yourself if handy with a soldering iron.

I hope this isn’t true since I just bought one!

If you just got it then you can send it back for a refund as they have a trial period.

But then this new model could be hoax as well.

Ask Schiit about you sending it back, because you want the newer model that’s coming and see what they say.

Those "red" WIMA  caps are generally considered to be fine caps Polypropylene caps . Your last post is now causing me to question your first post.  With all due respect, of course.

Fo yourself a favor,  email Chris Johnson,  tech, owner of parts connecxion.
I am not here to debate but tell it straight.I know capacitors better then most 
Myself just finished molding my whole system and upgrading system capacitors
I have done since 2000. Am transformers is a precision capacitor much more so then wima which is just over a average capacitor at best. If you have not experimented with other capacitors vs wima then there is not much to debate. 
Do email the tech ,Chris at parts connecxion he has compared ,and  check out this reference, 
Humble homemade hifi capaciyor test. Please note there are several excellent capacitors not listed due to testing is by companies that Donate samples .
