Starting Price: $2399.00 (Schiit Yggdrasil Original Retail Price)
The one I have for review costs $2799 (less than half the price of a Holo May) and boy does it come packed with features!
DAC/AMP Features:
* SINAD: Inaudible
* Frequency Response: Flat from 20 Hz to 20 kHz
* Power: Can easily make my Etymotic ER2SE clip (much more than Apple Dongle)
* Max Sample Rate: 96 kHz
* Max Bit Depth: 32-bit
* Capable of double amping with zero clipping
* Volume Control: Digital with "infinite" steps (touch bar)

Generic Laptop Features:
* 4.4 lbs
* 100 Wh Battery
* Four Thunderbolt 3 ports
* 16-inch 3072x1920 Display, 500 nits of brightness, 99% DCI-P3 Coverage, 1350:1 contrast ratio (sadly not OLED or mLED)
* Processor: 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
* Memory: 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
* Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB
* Storage: 1 TB SSD
* Incredible trackpad
* Good Keyboard
* 720P Webcam
DAC/AMP Listening Test:
The fidelity out of this tiny 3.5 mm headphone socket is insane! I blind tested it against a Topping E30 when double amping, picked this as the E30, and didn't test again!
Tough decision on whether this or the Schiit Yggdrasil is a better buy. Personally, I would take the Yggi (as some call it) over the MacBook. I don't know, it just makes me feel a certain way. A way no other DAC can....
Before you hate on the Schiit Yggdrasil, just know that it must be left on for 2 months straight to reach optimal slam and macrodynamics.
