    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Thanks for the confirmation on the Gen 5 not working. I have an Octava UHD41ARC switch that splits HDMI to optical which then goes to my Yggy (Hosa Toslink to AES) but am fresh out of ports.

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    All this back and forth is well and good, but let's get to the really important stuff here. :) Has anyone tried to hook up a Nintendo Switch via USB to a Gen 3 Yggy? I heard that a few Schiit DACs work and am curious. I'm pretty sure it's a no go with the Gen 5 as it's UAC2 exclusive.

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Hey all- I have a Yggy with an A starting serial (purchased back in June of last year). Since the purchase, I've been having issues where the source would just drop from the Yggy's input and I'd have to power cycle to get things back on track. This also coincided with sound issues that I'd...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Thanks for the info-  it's amazing what I learn the farther down this audio rabbit hole I go!   I guess my best bet is to wait for release and weigh my options then.   I'm so very intrigued by Rob Watts' approach to DACs that I'm willing to give Chord products a shot.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Good info-  thanks!  It's just a bit awkward coming from desktop DACs and something that is portable/battery powered.     I've heard the Hugo and like it, but I'm getting a good feeling from the impressions from CES etc that the Hugo 2 may be something very special.  I don't want to upgrade my...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    I really don't have any use for Hugo guts-  looking to the future and am liking what I hear so far re: the Hugo 2.   It seems with the expansions planned and the remote include, that Chord may be posturing the 2 for more of a desktop role than the Hugo.       If I can get by with the issues I...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    I'm on the fence on whether to purchase a Hugo 2 or Yggy.  Pretty tough to decide as both seem like solid kits.   I have a functionality question that would help my decision.   Maybe a Chord employee can chime in.   If I purchase a Hugo 2, I would keep it in my entertainment center using a...

    Perfect.  I'll probably pull the trigger on the Yggy then.       Thanks!

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    I've read through quite a few Yggdrasil impression threads but don't recall any posts where the buyer wasn't a huge music listener. What!?   Per the wife's request, I've had to downgrade my 5.1 system for space reasons.   My listening habits are about 20% music and the rest movies and gaming...
