You mean USB beat the Hydra I presume? You may have mistyped.
A product that is NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) is in production and available, with no obsolescence scheduled. However, we recommend against using these parts for new designs because there are better or more economical alternatives, or because demand for the part is decreasing. We list alternatives when possible. For additional assistance in alternative designs, please contact technical support.
There are solid reasons why Schiit did what they did. It's an engineering issue and one that is better understood if you look at the AD5791 datasheets. (I'm not going to spell it out).Craig and I have looked at the Yggy boards and yes, we can do something interesting. However, interesting doesn't necessarily mean better. And then it's a matter of how interesting. The best way would involve custom made transformers and the Yggy would end up the size of a mini-fridge.It is what it is. For $10K, you can have EC Studio with an Yggy, or an MSB Analog and a CMOY. Of course you can always spend $20K.
Without the Amanero, since that's very new in Kingwa's stable. I know that Zach (ZMF) recently ordered the Master-11. I'm hoping to hear it sometime this month.
Yggdrasil should be compared to $2000-$2500 range dacs.
Purrin's Chart doesn't list the DACs according to price, rather according to absolute performance.Hence price ranges are irrelevant ….
ne, he used USB for most of the review. Yggy's Achilles heal. He mentioned it's much closer to the old Analog DAC usb
Colour Coding at the bottom of the chart:RED = Float it down the LA river ORANGE = Poor value, poor performance, or combination of both BLUE = Good value
