| tube rolling with Schiit Freya + On breaking in the tubes, with the Freya + one would need to have the tube mode selected, because it turns them off in the other two modes. I’m listening to the Mission soundtrack as I type this, the sound is clear, open and impactful. The bass h... | |
| tube rolling with Schiit Freya + I'm not sure how much burning in the Schiit stuff really needs. My Vidar did not go through much change, and neither did the Saga. And the Freya+, with maybe 75 hours on it so far, hasn't gone through changes I've noticed. That is to say, it wa... | |
| Brave man, McGowan... Nah, he’s not brave(Mcgowan), he simply doesn’t care what people think anymore. You don’t like hearing about cable performance? Fine, then don’t listen to it, or read it in this forum.The people that respond with disagreement are not going to chan... | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? Well, everyone has a budget, and has decisions to make. That's why I'm so enthusiastic about Schiit, the sound is pretty much amazing for what you pay. I'd suggest if the Freya+ is too steep for you, look at the Freya S. It has the same impress... | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? The Vidar, also from Schiit. It too was an audibly improved model over my mid fi stuff, though not as dramatic. With amps, I think it’s easier to design a decent sounding performer. | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? Sorry samac, I can’t offer any Freya S impressions, but I’ve been trying to find the specs of the old Freya and compare them with the Freya +. I found them, and a few specs stood out for me, while others were pretty much the same.With jfet buffer ... | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? IMHO, if you’re going to warn people away from a specific brand tube based on your experience, 4+ years ago is not recent enough to go on. | |
| Upgrade Hint 6? Op amps are cheaper than discrete circuits for a reason...Does a violin measure as well as the latest Benchmark model? I’ve had components that measured amazingly well, and they also sounded completely mediocre. Two amps that I once owned measured... | |
| Upgrade Hint 6? Unfortunately the Topping DX7 Pro employs op amps. | |
| adcom equipment..... I might as well update the thread WRT my adcom GFA 6002 amp. I ended up taking it to my workplace running a pair of Totem Dreamcatchers which are a 4 ohm speaker. The little Adcom has driven them effortlessly and the pair produce a good soundsta... | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? The whole issue can be nicely summed up with a, “it depends”. Of course I might be accused of being lazy with that response, but it depends. | |
| Upgrade Hint 6? OP, don’t be surprised to find disagreement among audio people. Calling Schiit multibit DACs colored sound is not true. And as one who’s owned three of them I think I know a thing or two about their sound.Sorry, but I’ll also have to disagree wi... | |
| Upgrade Hint 6? It's hard to say, really. I'm assuming you'd connect the outboard dac into the Hint and hope for an improvement? That would depend on if your speakers are capable of presenting additional detail and resolution. Also, the Hint is said to be on t... | |
| NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET The thread title is nothing but an attempt to troll. It's no surprise the thread has gone into the ditch. | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? Well the Freya+ is certainly an upgrade over the OG Saga, no doubt about that! I've only had it a couple of days, but even out of the box it's more dynamic with a bigger soundstage and seemingly better detail. This is my first go at a tube based... |
