I'd be shocked if they did.

I am still completely enamoured with my Schitt Audio Yggdrasil DAC. This past month has found me listening to my living room sound system with the Yggy more than the studio system with the Esoteric K-01X. There is insight in that comment if you will take a moment to dwell on it. The Yggdrasil sounds so good, so much like real music, it is difficult to end a listening session. High-res downloads played from the Aurender N100H music server and the MOON Neo 260D transport through the Yggdrasil DAC are rich, detailed, dynamic, and authentic with an ultra quiet velvet black background. I am not left wanting for anything. This is precisely why I let my ears and brain decide what's good for my audio pleasure, not some bench test results that do not reflect the actual performance. I allow my ears to be my guide. You said it yourself, specs aren't everything. I remember my original McIntosh MC30 mono tube amplifiers that I purchased back in 1968. The specs were not that spectacular, especially compared to today's standards, but man oh man did those amplifiers sound good. I don't listen to meaningless graphs representing electrical performance below audible detection thresholds. I listen to music. That is all that really matters to me. In my humble opinion, the newest Yggdrasil is a fabulous digital to analog converter that draws me to it like a moth to a flame.

So I am not ready to write his Schiit data off as totally without merit. |

I have not owned a Mcintosh tube system yet. Being nostalgic, i bought an early Yamaha receiver I owned in college. It was heaven to my ears at first listen then and was again after i went back to this hobby. After jumping into McIntosh going back to the trusty Yamaha now not the same experience even powering same speakers. You are extremely lucky owning MC30s out of the gate. I would not doubt your ability to distinguish great sound given your exposure and time in the hobby. When you kids tell you thanks for teaching me what great sound is those moments stick with you and all the more reason for this hobby. But I still like to peak at a graph of performance now and then. |

The news is better than that as I just noticed an email from Schiit that my unit actually shipped today. Should be here Thursday unless the storm delays the delivery.
