Serge.......Your comments about the silver versus black finish gave me pause. I have reconsidered my color choice. I contacted Schiit Audio and changed my order to a silver Yggdrasil. I am more partial to the smooth silver anodized finish than the texture of the black matte paint finish. I also think the silk screen nomenclature will have greater legibility on the smoother silver surface. A silver component did not disturb me when I had an Esoteric K-03 installed in the living room rack so I am confident I will be comfortable with a silver Yggdrasil DAC. The performance is far more important to me than the color.

This instance of second thought is one of the reasons I truly enjoy the interplay between members here when we share our ideas. Sometimes a different point of view can cause a person to reevaluate a decision. That's exactly what happened to me after reading your last two posts. I appreciate the introspection your posts triggered. Thank you.

I would also like to report that the customer support at Schiit Audio is first rate. My emails, and there were several, were all answered in a friendly and timely manner. Changing my Yggdrasil to a silver one presented no problems and was handled efficiently. A big thumbs up to the good folks at Schiit Audio.
