Sell and get a Musician Pegasus. Schiit may be made here, but where do you think most of the components with which it’s made come from? It’s a global world, and while I like buying American as much as anyone, ya gotta ask yourself how “American” is any audio component these days? To me, at this point it’s more semantics than anything, and I’m loving my $1100 Pegasus. Just my $0.02 FWIW.
DAC Upgrade
Thinking it's time to upgrade my DAC. Here's the system:
Cyrus CD/t
Belles Aria integrated amp
Fritz Carbon 7 speakers
Schiit Gungnir dac
The Schiit can be upgraded to "multibit" for $500, thus making it an "Yggdrasil Junior."
Is the additional $500 (on top of the original $899) worth it, or am I better off selling the Schiit and taking that plus $500 and going with something else?
FWIW, I like Schiit's business model and that they're a (mostly) California-based company. Also, I'd prefer to buy American wherever possible.
I'll be the first to admit that I find the technical (and marketing) jargon elusive, particularly where DACs are concerned. I listen primarily to CD's.
Appreciate the input!
