I don't know about the Yggdrasil, (much less the Berkeley Alpha), but I can speak to the Ygg's littlest brother, the Bifrost Multibit. The latter employs the same design concepts as the former, including the "closed form" filter, using somewhat lessor-spec'ed components.The Ygg is belong my budget so I had to settle for a Schiit Bifrost Uber to Multibit upgrade. I felt this was a tremendous success. The must succinct description I can offer is that information retrieval is hugely enhanced. And that information retrieval includes more "detail" in the best sense, including nuances of instruments including human voices and difficult instruments such as cymbals, more articulate instrument decays, more precise & stable placement of instruments in the soundstage -- and yes, a more accurate, i.e. more plausible, (though not necessarily "bigger"), sense of air & space. I believe microdynamics are also improved, contributing to the improved sound of cymbals for example.
I can safely recommend the Bifrost Multibit, not only as an upgrade to the Bifrost Uber but to anybody looking for a DAC in the range at least up to that of Schiit's own Gungnir Multibit, (US$1250).
