Schiit Yggdrasil+ 

Schiit Yggdrasil+ is the world's only upgradable closed form balanced DAC with Unison USB Dac

Forget everything you know about DACs. Yggdrasil+'s unique True Multibit™ architecture combines integrated multibit D/A converters with a proprietary time- and frequency-domain optimised digital filter. Together with the convenience of remote control, switchable NOS mode, and a fully modular platform, Yggdrasil+ gives you the best performance now—and in the future.

Choose From Two Flavours
Yggdrasil+ is available in two flavours, including one that costs the same as the original 2014 Yggdrasil—and provides higher performance, additional features, and remote control. Progress--without the price!

  • Yggdrasil Less is More. The most affordable Yggdrasil uses four TI DAC8812 16-bit D/A converters.
  • Yggdrasil More is Better. Simply one of the highest-performance multibit DAC in history. Uses four ultra-precision TI DAC11001B 20-bit D/A converters.

Unique True Multibit™ Performance

Both Yggdrasil+ versions use Schiit's True Multibit architecture, a unique combination of their proprietary time- and frequency-domain optimised digital filter and integrated, medical/defence grade multibit D/A converters. Yggdrasil’s DSP-based digital filter has a closed-form solution—it retains the original samples, performing a true interpolation. Only this digital filter gives you the best of both NOS and upsampling designs. 

Convenience and Flexibility

Yggdrasil+ isn’t just about ultimate performance. At the same time, they have included 5 digital inputs, including Schiit's own Unison USB™ interface with complete electromagnetic and electrostatic isolation. Ease of access is assured with standard remote control, and they have provided features like absolute phase inversion and NOS mode so you can optimise for your individual system and recordings.

Fully Modular Architecture—Ready for the Future

Only Yggdrasil+ offers the flexibility and assurance of a truly modular architecture, both hardware and firmware. Literally every board—from input to output—is easily replaceable, with its uniquely reconfigurable chassis provides for future expandability. This unique upgradability gives you great performance now, and assurance for tomorrow.
