DACs
Schiit Audio YGGDRASIL
Schiit Yggdrasil 1 is the flagship multi-bit DAC from the American company Schiit Audio, built on four precision Analog Devices AD5791 chips (two per channel), which provides real 21-bit resolution and signal conversion accuracy.
DACs
Schiit Audio BIFROST
A special feature of the model is the fact that the analog output modules, including the unbalanced and balanced ones, and the USB module could be replaced independently.
DACs
Schiit Audio MODI
Digital filtering in all Schiit multibit devices is implemented on a proprietary closed-type filter, the non-trivial design and characteristics of which I described in detail in the test of the flagship Yggdrasil DAC.
DACs
Schiit Audio Gungnir 2
The Schiit Audio Gungnir 2 DAC expands on Schiit Audio’s multi-bit approach. It uses a new balanced analog stage and four medical/defense-grade DAC8812CRUZ converters with a proprietary time- and frequency-domain-optimized digital filter (based on an Analog Devices DSP). It can be user-switched to operate in a no-oversampling (NOS) mode to bypass the digital filter.
