Two new Schiit Yggdrasil's released yesterday!

www.schiit.com

Yesterday Schiit now announced two new Yiggdrasil models to be sold, alongside the current original Analog 2 model.

Three "flavors" to chose from.

Both models priced at less than the current analog 2. All three now have different D/A converters chips.

Future sales will determine which two are dropped, and then the remaining model will continue to be made.

Strange marketing "ploy" in my opinion???

There are a couple of comparisons of the models done at the Schiit store in California.

New Schiit Yggdrasil Blind Listening ComparisonThe very first sentence on the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil web page says, Forget everything you know about DACs. I concur in the most unequivocal way possible. Members of the Audiophile Style community are well aware that I absolutely love the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil DAC. I reviewed it back in November... audiophilestyle.com

Ihad the latest model unison module ,top šŸŠ fuse upgradeĀ 
with those medical grade chip sets itā€™s just not that musical it does somethingā€™s well but prat and one of them .it has great bass ,and very respectable detailĀ 
even with top Usb cable thatā€™s very warm and still its not That involving vsĀ 
the Denafrips Venus ,or HoloSprings 3 which are right around $3k ,
if your-system is tubes and warm then maybe . In your system it Maybe good.
the 15 day return is bare minimum for breakin to decide plus a 15% fee andĀ 
loss of shipping both ways. After reading all these reviews what a let down .
after that I just said I will spend much more to get closer to a reference level
the Bricasti M3 with streamer well worth the extra monies.

Sounds like the Less Is More is much more musical and "analog" to those who have heard it.

I had the A1 model and would agree that it could be a bit unforgiving in the highs. It was the only thing I could really fault it for.. supposedly the A2 was better, but it was still somewhat present.

The More is Less sounds like itā€™s that but on steroids... best measuring R2R out there (supposedly), but some have described it as being too "80ā€™s SABRE-like" in its presentation.

I put an order in for the LiM version because if it addresses my biggest complaint of the previous being too "hot", I think Iā€™d be pretty much set on what Iā€™d like out of a DAC.

Plus, sounds like Moffat prefers it himself.

These folks at Sch-tt have been drinking the kool-aid a while now and I thinkĀ its getting to them.Ā 

Reading too many of their own reviews.

Yes it can happen to the best of them.

Not that the company's products don't represent the best value
made in the USA. Because they do.

Good but not perfect. Like most everything we like.
