Don’t know if this will help with the hum situation. You could try a different wall socket

Schiit has this on the site
Got hum? It could be a ground loop. Try a ground loop isolator or EbTech HumX to eliminate it.

From a recommendation on here, I got the Emotiva CMX-2 Precision Common Mode AC Line Filter With DC Offset Eliminator for trying to resolve a couple of issues with my Vidar powered system. It worked well (that is no reoccurrence of the problem since), and when the Tyrs were ordered I got a second one (the CMX-2 has only two outlets and the more outlet version is out of stock). They seem to do an excellent job and for me and may be worth a look.

Watching basketball doesn't make sense.

I enjoy sports and competed in several. As far as college basketball the last undefeated college team was local, as well as the last college coach to win the Olympic gold without using pro players.

I would also swap Tyrs and everything else unchanged
If indeed one of the Tyrs is defective, hum should follow
If it doesn’t, then may be something else
Is causing the hum

Thanks for the info! If I end up keeping the Tyrs I'm probably gonna grab a Freya Noval then.

Having had this up and running for a day now, im noticing im really despising the humm coming out of one of the units. I don't think i want to keep this unit. Am I able to open the lid and peak to see whats causing the humm? Or will that void warranty?

Both of my Tyrs hum fairly quietly, as in I can only hear it if I put my ear about 8 inches from them. However, when I first got them, one of the Tyrs hummed much louder than the other, as in I could hear it several feet away. I contacted Schitt and they covered the cost to have it shipped back, repaired and returned to me. Definitely worth reaching out to them about it.

IIRC, with permission from Schiit, some have opened up their amps and tightened a coupla screws to correct a mechanical hum.

So, question follows, is it a mechanical or electronic hum? Not coming from a speaker?

It’s only off-topic until we get the 007 x Schiit Yggdrasil OHMSS colab edition

Big rig in my mind is my main system.



Today I am trying different tubes just to see if a more magical combination exists.

Musical selections include the Avett Bothers, Art Pepper, Willie Watson, Greg Brown, Tramples by Turtles, Van Morrison, and John Hyatt

Although I did not want to see it, I have a list of DAC's that should be in my upcoming comparison. That list could change slightly but I insisted on the two Yggdrasil, PrimaLuna, HoloAudio, and Aqua being there.

Yggdrasil + Less is More
Yggdrasil + OG
Benchmark DAC D3
Auralic Altair G1
Chord Hugo 2
Cary DAC 200 TS
Prima Luna EVO100 tube DAC
Aqua La Voce
Merason DAC 1
Doge 7 tube DAC
Lampizator Baltic 3
McIntosh MDA 200
HoloAudio May KTE
RME ADI-2
IFI Audio Pro iDSD

Now after such comparisons I have had folks say things like "I thought that would be the outcome". Anyone want to make any outcome predictions BEFORE the comparisons are done.

Thanks! I think i'll have to do this too since its in an office environment. Its weird how it plays with the accoustics in the room. At certain distances I cant hear it, but at other distances I can hear it louder. And I can hear it from a few feet away. There's a slight buzzing sound i can hear from a foot away, but that noise is really quiet and rather inaudible. I'm mostly concerned about the passive humm. If i power the unit off the humm goes away instantly. I think some people are more sensitive to this issue than others. I suspect most people wouldn't care and as a result schiit wouldn't consider it much of a QA problem. Its just that I spend extra money when I build my PCs and buy my electronics to avoid added noise. Would I pay 200$ to have this shipped for a dfferent unit just to avoid the noise? Yep. Instantly. Would most people do that? Super doubtful. If they do cover the cost then I don't have to make that tradeoff.

Jeez I emailed schiit several months ago about the humm in Tyrs and I asked about it being a problem when several users had already reported that. I didn't want another piece of electronic in my office space. They replied with something like "we aren't aware this problem exists". I was afraid this would happen

There is a chance we can get into the lab we want to use in early January. A full weekend project for sure.

Yes, they've been doing that for a few decades now; and here's where they explain why........

Here's what the neighbours think of us

Top 3 yggy+OG, Cary, Prima Luna with stock tubes. Yggy finishes third if someone like @bcowen provides the tubes.
