Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades
I personally got this upgrade and it is a Very Good upgrade and a bargain at the results it delivers. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/aftermarket-upgrades-for-schiit-audio-dacs |

audioman58 your other thread that you started yesterday which was a duplicate of what you just posted above, it wreaked of shilling, and the mods saw fit to remove it. As for your previous statement audioman58 OPI would too. Hate to inform everyone, but there are no coupling caps. The Schiit Yggdrasil is direct coupled from D/A converter chip all the way through to the outputs with dc servos handling any dc offset. Which means there are no coupling caps in the signal path. The Wima caps audoman58 is talking about, are just to bypass the electrolytic caps with (decoupling caps) and are fine for doing that. They are not coupling caps and have no music signal passing through them all. Cheers George |
One thjng I can tell you even if this upgrade foesnot come out until later in the year .time tables are never accurate by company projunctions. I had my Gungnir multibit upgraded which also applies to the Yggsdrasil. If you look on the boards they gave the average red wima caps nothing special My tech which builds set preamps and various upgrades replaced all 8 wima caps with the Amtrans from Japan which are night and day better. These are a Copper foil which is the best type vs metalized paper And the synergistic black fuse a dramatic difference in depth of instruments Separation as well as much more dimentional. The Yggs has 12 capaciyors yo replace. I even asked Schiit if I sent in would they put in these far superior caps No not even if I paid them, not even a better fuse. That is why 2 of my friends did there's first for $500 a no Brainer as much as the Multibit upgrade increases resolution, the cap upgrade is more to do with realistic of instrument tonally and depth. Give it a solid 100 hours. I would do it again in a heart beat it is that good . If in new England .drop me an email to give it a listen. |
The Yggy can have a direct coupled analog output and still have its SQ changed with replacing those WIMA caps. R2R DACs requires a post anti-imaging filter to remove the oversampled garbage from intermodulating the signal. That filter would use quality caps in either shunt and/or NFB positions to perform this task. Technically, not in the signal path, but would still influence the SQ to some extent. I have an email of inquiry into Chris at Parts Connexion and may be trying this mod myself soon. |
