Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit?

@georgehifi 

If playing CD quality files it really doesn't matter at all. Good point.

However in judging a product I do like to check manufacturers claims. For example technical claims by Hegel don't hold water. So either they got something messed up in translation from Norwegian or I have my doubts over technical competence.

I agree with @shadorne regarding (paraphrasing) drawing an inference to the product based on manufacturer technical claims. In fact, the boisterous claims by Schiit is one (of a few) reasons I purchased this particular DAC to begin with.

In addition to the boisterous claims by owners/reviewers :)

@georgehifi 

it does. Some audiophiles claim to be able to hear the difference. 

Quite awhile ago Jason explained all this in his "Schiit Happened"
Book he has on line at Head Fi. Too long to go through to provide an exact link. They sold a ton of these and are still selling well.
Don’t like don’t buy it!

You got Atkinson saying it's obsolete on the other hand you got Harley saying it's as good as a $19k DAC's!
Buffoons all of them and that's why I don't subscribe even for $7 a year . They can't give Stereopile away.
