The YGGDRASIL is a flagship digital-to-analogue converter from Schiit Audio, built with substantial output level and a considerable chassis. The YGGDRASIL brings Schiit Audio's most accomplished current engineering to standalone digital conversion.
Key specs that matter
PCM support reaches up to 24-bit/192kHz. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level reaches a substantial 4V on both balanced and single-ended connections - strong figures providing considerable headroom. Output impedance is 75 ohms on both connections. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 110dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.002% at 22kHz. At 406 x 330 x 73mm and 11.3kg, the YGGDRASIL represents Schiit Audio's most substantial current digital source commitment.
Sound and use context
Expect clean, detailed conversion reflecting the strong over-110dB signal-to-noise figure, combined with the substantial 4V output providing genuine signal strength, representing Schiit Audio's flagship-tier current DAC engineering ambition.
Pairing
The substantial 4V output gives genuine signal strength for driving a downstream power amplifier or active speakers directly.
Alternatives
Schiit Audio's own BIFROST and MODI sit below this flagship model at more accessible price points within the same broader value-focused engineering philosophy.
