@danto - How do you like those Fritz speakers?? I’ve got a pair of Carerra BE’s - took a few months to break in, but they sound awesome now!
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!

@jjss49 Fair point. I think the pricing of some of its previous incarnations was still in my mind. |
@larsman LOVE my Fritz speakers. Sound great, easy on the eyes (WAF was key), and Fritz is great to work with. Initially I was thinking that I might need a subwoofer, but between toying with placement and the speakers breaking in, they really have nice presence. Now, just trying to bring the rest of the system up to snuff. |
About the Audio Mirror Tubadour III ... I don't know why Vlad stopped producing the $1550 version. The SE version is out of reach for many folks and now it competes in a price bracket where there are lots of wonderful DACs available for about the same price. Personally, I feel the Denafrips Pontus or Venus are better value in this price range. I really wish he could re-introduce the non-SE version. |
