IMO, whenever you plan to listen - even after break-in - it's nice to have run the Yggy with a source for 30 minutes to an hour prior to your listening session.
Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit?
Schiit says that Yggdrasil is a 21 bit DAC. But the DAC chips that they put in the device ( Analog Devices AD5791BRUZ, 2 per channel) are 20 bit with the error of plus-minus 0.5 LSB.
How can the DAC be 21 bit if the chips are 20 bit? Using two chips per channel does reduce the RMS voltage of the noise by a square root of 2. But how can you get to 21 bit from there?
Can someone please explain.
