Default Ordered the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil DAC

This afternoon I placed my order for the Schiit Audio Yggdrasil DAC. Actually, I placed a special order for the Yggdrasil in black. I have been told there is a possibility they may not be able to accommodate my request for black. It depends on what their metal shop can produce. In the case Schiit cannot fill my order for a black Yggy they will cancel the order. I will then have to make a decision whether or not I want to live with the silver one. I don't have a clue about how long this may take so I am in a holding pattern with my fingers crossed.

Congrats! I hope you can get one in Black! Black would match my gear better as well.

I’m close to placing an order myself, want to get past the Christmas season and let the dust settle on my (new to me) c2300 and mc402.

Congrats Dan, hopefully it won't take too long before you have one in your system. Have to admire your determination and patience. I would have had a silver one in my rack a long time ago... Oh wait, I do have a silver Gumby with all the rest of the black gear...

Jim.......That's what I am hoping for, a delivery by this Friday or Saturday. They ship by FedEx Home Delivery which does do Saturday deliveries. Since the black Yggy is a matte black paint rather than a black anodizing process, I am hoping it is just a phone call to the metal shop to make it happen. It seems to me to be a simple request that can be easily completed. In the spirit of Christmas my hope is Schiit can make it happen. The Yggdrasil sure looks nice in black.

Serge.......I was tempted more than once to just order a silver Yggy and be done with it but each time I went to the order page my desire for a black one held me back. Once I communicated with the good folks at Schiit and discovered there was a faint possibility of getting a black one I decided to move on it. Time will tell if my quest for a black Yggdrasil will become reality. I sure hope so. It doesn't seem like that tall of an order. We shall see.

Hi Dan,
Congratulations and I hope you get your DAC soon. I look forward to your "trademark" initial and fully broken reviews.

Cheers,
Stephen
