As an owner of just about all the Schiit line of DAC's. I have to say they have marketed their products well.
Modi, Bifrost, Gungnir, Yggy all perform well, but each model up brings greater definition and clarity.
I, too, noticed that a significant time for 'burn in' resulted in a more natural sound.
For me, I just left the unit on and played music when I wanted to.
Then, unexpectedly, the unit sounded 'better'.
So, I say give the Yggy a good long time powered on. And, let me know if you get that 'AHA' moment.
