About the Yggdrasil 2
The Schiit Audio Yggdrasil Analog 2 is a high-end multibit digital-to-analog converter that uses four Analog Devices AD5791BRUZ ladder DAC chips in a dual, true hardware-balanced configuration, combined with Schiit's proprietary closed-form digital filter running on an Analog Devices SHARC DSP for bit-perfect clocking and conversion up to 24-bit/192kHz on all inputs. Its fully discrete, DC-coupled Class A FET buffer stages and revised Analog 2 output boards deliver lower noise and distortion than the original Yggdrasil while maintaining a neutral, highly resolving, and spacious presentation. The unit provides AES/EBU, RCA and BNC coaxial, optical, and USB inputs, offers both balanced XLR and dual single-ended RCA outputs, and is built in a heavy, brushed-aluminum chassis weighing about 25 pounds.
