    As I live very far from any schiit dealer, would be very helpful to read some impressions of friends of the new Yggdrasil sound quality to know of worth all the shipping process and customs risk. Someone can chime in? Thanks

    I think the price went up $100

    So the $100 price increase has the analog-2 upgrade?

    Separate upgrade for older Yggdrasil is $550?

    Anyone who bought a Gungnir Multibit recently, what does the serial number start with?

    Per their press release this is an "Yggdrasil-specific upgrade" if that's what you're wondering.

    Yggdrasil with the Analog 2 boards has been pretty awesome. I've been really loving it.

    Someone on HF posted their Gungnir Multibit SN and it starts with a B as well. My own and a couple other Gungnir Multibit's I've been able to find pics of online don't start with a letter.

    This Yggdrasil was also stealth launched 3 months ago, could be the Gungnir Multibit was at some point between now and then too.

    This is just pure speculation on my part.

    My Gungnir Multibit is at least 18 months old I believe (purchased 2nd hand about a year ago, so not really sure) but mine starts with a "C". So not sure the "B" is indicative on Gungnir Multibit...

    My Gungnir Multibit was purchased 9/3/17, and the s/n starts w/ a B, think it stands for Better.

    You mean I don't get to preorder at 0300 PT for a serial number under 500 and delivery in six months time? What kind of business are Jason and Mike running over there?

    Typical schiity antics :rolleyes:

    And god help Schiit if someone bought their Yggdrasil in September and got what they thought they were getting but didn’t get what they didn’t think they were getting. I’m not a lawyer or anything but that sounds like a class action lawsuit right there.

    Seems better then dealing with people that bought their Yggdrasil within the 15 day return period and dealing with all that restocking.

    Definitely not a lawyer. Really not different than a new model coming out. I have bought something only to find a new model comes out soon after for the same price. I may not like but that is the way it is and I would have no reason to complain and it would not do any good to do so. The thought of a class action lawsuit because a company comes out with a new version makes no sense to me. There has to be a timing cut off at some point. Schiit has done a good thing for us making their DACs up gradable vs. buying a whole new unit or model. But as we know, no good deed goes unpunished.
