Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar
That said, I take JA of stereophile's comments as a serious concern with regard to the Yggdrasil. You can find other DACs in this price range that Stereophile has given a much cleaner "medical health checkup"! Didn't we just go through this? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/schiit-yggdrasil-21-bit Don't you think you might be giving **WAY** to much credence to John Atkinson and Stereophile's review? |

@ghosthouse The 20 bit thing is not on the whole a big deal. I think Stereophile was wrong to say that. However to truncate or simply round the 24 bit incoming data shows total ignorance of 20 years of best industry practices for reducing bit depth. A designer who doesn’t have a clue about audio industry digital signal processing should not be designing audio digital converters, IMHO. |
