Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades

It was told to me from another sourse ,whom is very good friends with  a very respected reviewer which 2 past leads were spot on !! I will leave it at that.

So no one should buy a Yggy until the upgrade is released? Is that what you're saying? Because I was about to buy one for Christmas.

Your saying that the coming upgrade is not a software upgrade but a new hardware release? Wouldn’t that be a completely new DAC model since one of the promises of the Yggdrasil is that it is future upgradable?

I don’t think it is right to make a claim like this without fully revealing the source since this could negatively impact sales. Either step up and do a full disclosure or don’t post a rumor. That's what this is, an unsubstantiated rumor.

Now someone needs to contact Schitt to get to the bottom of this.

I hope this isn't true since I just bought one!

I don't speak for the company but if there is an upgrade it will be in the form of a pcb replacement, either the USB, DSP or analog board. If and when it's available, that upgrade will be offered as an add-on to the base model and will probably be in the same format as the other buy buttons -- pick the base model and then pick the add-on from a menu with the associated price.

Implying that future buyers are going to get the upgraded unit at the same price as today is misleading and, IMO, not a nice thing to do.
