[QUOTE="AlleyCat, post: 1139749, member: 2194"] They both have been measured as not 24 bit dads (an yet they sound great). From Stereophile, Jan, 2017 : “This will be due to the Yggdrasil’s use of 20 bit converters, the bottom 4 bits of 24 bit data will be truncated,” and; ”It's difficult to sum up the Schiit Yggdrasil's measured behavior. While the processor's analog circuitry is superbly well designed, its digital circuitry appears to have problems with high-level, high-frequency tones, and with the LSBs of 24-bit data. It's possible, of course, that the former will be rare with music, and that the latter will be obscured by the noise floors of recordings. But it does look as if the digital circuitry is not fully optimized. Hopefully, this could be addressed with a firmware upgrade.—[B]John Atkinson “[/B] [/QUOTE]
