His setup comprises an Innuos Zenith SE server, driving a chain of SOtM tX-USBultra and dX-USB HD Ultra to the DAC via AES/EBU. It was comparing the best of delta-sigma DACs, the Antelope Audio Zodiac Platinum DAC, against a new version of the classic R2R technology, the unpronounceable Yggdrasil, aka the "Yggdrasil" DAC from Schiit. Yggdrasil Refined - New Schiit Yggdrasil Analog 2 (Yggdrasil A2) Sound Impressions Discussion in ' Digital: DACs, USB converters, decrapifiers ' started by drgumbybrain , Jan 16, 2018 .
Which, to my delight, allowed new sonic delicacies to emerge. But my DAC costs 15% of what the DAVE costs and I can tell you what the precise spec of my femto-second clock is, something omitted from the Chord video. Precision local clocks for both 44.1 and 48k multiples." And like most Chord gear, over priced. If your listening is PCM, be it Redbook CD 16/44 or 24/96, DXD, or even DVD-A then go for the Schiit Yggdrasil which is R2R Multibit conversion, the best way to convert PCM. My original Yggdrasil made music in a fun, highly articulate way, but its empty spaces were filled with a fine, vibrating, subliminal grain. That vibrating haze
Perhaps JA could reach out to the guys at Schiit for details on why they made the design decisions they did, in particular the use of the 20-bit D/A converters and DSP?Also, I don't see anywhere in the Yggdrasil measurements a mention of its measured resolution like we usually do with digital processors? Really you need to value the DAVE as not just a DAC.
While I waited, I reviewed Schiit's Of course not, so it's therefore most telling; Your 'brain' adapted to its short-comings ? I envision a superior linear P/S on the Mytek wold elevate into the super-DAC territory (or perhaps the Manhatten 2) ?But back to the $2K price-point, if Schitt can offer a decent linear P/S, how is it that Mytek cannot do the same for the "Brookyln" ?
Yet, your comments become even more ridiculous, when you say (35-years later):" My original Yggdrasil made music in a fun, highly articulate way, but its empty spaces were filled with a fine, vibrating, subliminal grain. But compared to LPs, digital sounded deficient in contrast and conspicuously artificial, in a plastic-bottles-in-the-ocean kind of way. I promise.—Herb Reichert It felt distant and mechanical." WTF. Although these two dacs are at wildly different price points ($2300 vs. $13,300), my thought process was that if Yggy came close to DAVE in performance, I would gladly spend extra $ on an excellent music server, cables, and standalone headphone amp and … "Our first adventure was either a failure or a success depending on your opinion. It felt distant and mechanical.

Why should this matter for the audiophile, mastering engineer, critical listener, etc? (Unlike the stock market or election polling, music is not a stochastic process. I promise."Live music may be viewed as a continuously pulsating wavefront. Yes, you can check me on that. B) " ...Which, to my delight, allowed new sonic delicacies to emerge.
The fact that the chip is, in relative terms, inexpensive (as proclaimed in the video) is irrelevant and doesn't mean it cannot perform as well when properly implemented. Whatever you did keep doing it.Mike Moffat, the digital designer at Schiit and an innovator in the field, has been doing this a long time. This is very basic. That the Chord clock oscillator runs at 104 MHz is interesting (and ultimately that is the "vice grip on timing"). "AND (the best part), you now have the "sensitivities" to identify and enjoy :A)".Analog 2, backgrounds were now more transparent and "black" than before." Schiit's Jason Stoddard has subsequently said that the Yggdrasil "rounds" 24-bit data but my measurements suggest that the LSBs of 24-bit data are simply truncated. Was the cause the Gen 5 USB upgrade? If you liked the Yggdrasil, you'll love the Analog 2. Those "shortcomings" (back in the 1980's) were so severe/nasty that no normal "brain" could adapt to is shortcomings. It is now pretty easy to choose from what little is left.You must tell me sometime how you got the last paragraph of the review past the editors. Recorded music is a coded narrative simulacrum of that pulsing wavefront. "Is that a joke? It's ugly. Aren't most, if not all, DACs cannot truly resolve beyond 20-21 bits anyway, including those on Stereophile Class A list? They can be inexpensive because they are produced in great quantity. With the Schiit, however, while the analog noise is very low, as I mentioned in the review, the noisefloor will rise with 24-bit audio due to what appears to be the truncation of the LSBs. ..spider-web delicacy ...low octave density ...complete transparency"An oxymoron if there ever was one; if one loves/understands/feels music, there is not a lobotomy in hell that could have fixed our brains to make sense of that atrocity of a (SQ) technology called the Compact Disc, back in 1982.In fact, Herby, that was pretty much the status quo "sound" for the next 20 (CD) years as well -SHIT.
