While I was shopping for a new DAC, I had the opportunity to compare the Yggdrasil and the PS Audio DSD in my system. A good friend of mine owns the Yggdrasil and was kind enough to loan it to me. While both DACs are very good, my friend (Yggi owner) and myself prefered the PS Audio DS DAC (Huron firmware). Granted, the PS Audio is a more expensive DAC but difference in sound was worth the money so I went with DS DAC. If my price point was limited to ~$2k the Yggi likely would of made it into my system.

Just curious, kaarmstrong, were you using the USB input or SPDIF? Just curious if you were using the USB input, and if so, if you had heard it with the new Gen 5 USB, which significantly improved the sound quality when using the USB interface.

A 15 day home trial with a 5% fee if returned is a very low risk exposure in case one is not happy with a Schiit product. Wish all audio purchases could be so risk free.
