Schiit Loki Max?

Stuart, when I say change the characteristic of the speaker, I mean when you adjust a frequency on the loki, it’s as if yoou change how the speakers is voiced. If you adjust the highest treble knob, you can make your speaker become bright. Your source music never seems to be altered. It is as if the Loki is built in the speakers. That is how good it is. Never thought I would be an EQ in my system. My Mac amp has a built in EQ but I never use it. It never sounds right. The Loki is MUCH better.

OK. I guess I'm not that sophisticated. In my system, Lokius is located between dac and integrated. I'd be hard-pressed to discern whether it was changing the character of the source, amp or speakers. Could you please explain your rationale for concluding it's the character of the speakers that's being changed? ? ?

you stated:

“Although I can read the knobs, I prefer more definite indicators. I bought replacement knobs from DigiKey.”

Would you please tell me the exact knobs you selected that gave you the indicators you needed.  I want to purchase them for my Loki Max.

Thanks

I am evaluating it right now. So far I am leaning towards returning it as it does introduce a veil when connected to Accuphase E-650 tape loop. Slight, but it is there. On the other hand, I may keep it for use where recording quality is not great anyway.

Mikhailark, when do you hear this veiled sound from the Loki? Is this when the tone controls are active or is the sound veiled just being installed in your tape loop? I am connected from streamer to dac. Dac it output to my Accuphase 380 and I detect nothing veiled. I also rotate a pass 250, Hegal 390, Mac 352 and works and sound great.
