Schiit Audio Yggdrasil +

Forget everything you know about DACs. Yggdrasil+'s unique True Multibit™ architecture combines integrated multibit D/A converters with a proprietary time- and frequency-domain optimized digital filter. Together with the convenience of remote control, switchable NOS mode, and a fully modular platform, Yggdrasil+ gives you the best performance now—and in the future.

Choose From Three Flavors
Yggdrasil+ is available in three different flavors, including one that costs the same as the original 2014 Yggdrasil—and provides higher performance, additional features, and remote control. Progress--without the price!

• Yggdrasil Less is More. Even better performance for lower cost than the original Yggdrasil. The most affordable Yggdrasil uses four TI DAC8812 16-bit D/A converters. Many think this is the best sounding flavor, hence less bits, more better…less is more.
• Yggdrasil More is Less. The best-measuring integrated multibit DAC, ever. This Yggy uses four TI DAC11001 20-bit D/A converters. If you’re one who thinks multibit DACs can’t measure well, this one’s for you—approaching -120dB THD+N. 
• Yggdrasil OG. The Yggdrasil you’ve loved for years, same as it ever was. The original Yggdrasil with four AD5791 20-bit D/A converters remains in the line, because it provides an exceptionally engaging performance.

Unique True Multibit™ Performance
All Yggdrasil+ versions use our True Multibit architecture, a unique combination of our proprietary time- and frequency-domain optimized digital filter and integrated, medical/defense grade multibit D/A converters. Yggdrasil’s DSP-based digital filter has a closed-form solution—it retains the original samples, performing a true interpolation. Only this digital filter gives you the best of both NOS and upsampling designs.

Convenience and Flexibility, Included
Yggdrasil+ isn’t just about ultimate performance. At the same time, we’ve included 5 digital inputs, including our own Unison USB™ interface with complete electromagnetic and electrostatic isolation. Ease of access is assured with standard remote control, and we’ve provided features like absolute phase inversion and NOS mode so you can optimize for your individual system and recordings.

Fully Modular Architecture—Ready for the Future
Only Yggdrasil+ offers the flexibility and assurance of a truly modular architecture, both hardware and firmware. Literally every board—from input to output—is easily replaceable, with its uniquely reconfigurable chassis provides for future expandability. This unique upgradability gives you great performance now, and assurance for tomorrow.

Designed and Built in California
By “designed and built in California" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Yggdrasil—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made minutes from our facility. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us. Our transformers are also made in California. All of this comes together in our Valencia, California facility, where each Yggdrasil is assembled, tested, burned in for 3 days, and then listen-tested again. 

5-Year Warranty
Yggdrasil+ is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for five years. That’s 5 years. Yes. FIVE. Which is up to 5X that of our competition, if you weren’t so hot at math. Note the marketing weasel-wording “up to.”

15-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
Try Yggdrasil+ in your own house for 15 days. If you don’t like it, simply send it back for a refund, minus a 5% transaction fee. Try spending 15 days in an audio store. They’ll kick you out. Unless you buy them donuts. Maybe.
