He then stated, "When I returned to the Yggy I discovered a DAC that wasn’t superb. It wasn’t even good. And it certainly wasn’t “good for the money.” What I discovered, to my amazement, was a DAC that was stunningly great, period. Price aside, the Yggy turned out to be a world-class contender in the same league as cost-no-object digital-to-analog converters—and I’ve heard some good ones." What I find most interesting about those comments is Robert Harley is not known as a reviewer who gushes about audio components, so I have to believe his reaction to the Yggdrasil's performance is genuine and sincere. This is encouraging for me.
I do plan to write a full review of the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil DAC but it may be awhile coming because I plan to allow the Yggy plenty of time to blossom fully before I pass judgement on its performance. Like you said, patience will be rewarded.

I was aware of that review. I'm just quietly and patiently waiting until one day you can't contain yourself and gush all over AA about your own YggY.
