This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!
It’s going to be a great year for Schiit.  Uh, you know what I mean!  The Aegir, the Sol and then the upgraded integrated amp. -  Ragnarok.its no wonder that a “fake news” forum was started just to attack them and their excellent products.  And th... 
This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!
I’ve read many of the book chapters and every new chapter from 2018 on.  It’s an inside look at how a small company makes it in today’s marketplace.bstatmeister, you’re going to be impressed with the Saga.  It is so faithful to the music and trans... 
This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!
I’ve currently got a Saga, Gungnir Multibit and my latest acquisition, the Vidar. Each component has been an improvement over what it replaced, and the Vidar is no exception. Dynamic, open, detailed and effortless sounding. It has more/better bass... 
Looking for my first DAC
Hi 213runnin,you are right that I don’t want to go over $1000. For my first DAC, but there is a Gungnir Multibit on eBay for $900 that I have an eye on, but are you saying it’s...Curious Jim, I’m saying the detail retrieval of this he Gungnir is e... 
Review on Tekton Design Perfect Set Speaker just went live on Six Moons.com
Teajay, I stand corrected, appearances are not what they seem in this case. 
Review on Tekton Design Perfect Set Speaker just went live on Six Moons.com
So is this how a reviewer generates hits on his web page/review these days?  Start a thread announcing that it’s going live in an audio forum so fans of the brand can post their excitement over the review and slap each other on the back with how g... 
Looking for my first DAC
The Gungnir is well over the OP's stated budget.The thing with Schiit is, marketing, advertising and customer service all cost serious money that then HAS TO be added to the cost of each unit they sell.  They can charge much less than competitors ... 
Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC?
The Bifrost multibit was a cold fish, even the Mimby was a fair bit warmer. My Gungnir is moderately warm only, but it is quite sweet.  Speaking of food, I prefer a slightly sweet chili and put sugar in my coffee, so the sweet Gungnir comment coul... 
Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC?
Al, I’d readily admit that I’m out of my depth quickly with this stuff. I have no idea how warm 35 watts is supposed to get.The Yggy does also have some expensive chips for the dac conversion, 4 Analog Devices AD5791, which probably get pretty war... 
Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC?
A note of clarification on the above idea that the Yggy's top holes are for ventilation.  They are actually not holes at all because they do not go all of the way through.  Same with my Bifrost and now Gungnir.  There is no ventilation, so the war... 
Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid.
If the Saga sounds this good, I can’t imagine what the Freya sounds like.  I really can’t say how the Schiit Audio pre’s compare with the high end, but I can say that the Saga easily bests my mid-fi Parasound P-5, and costs 1/3 the price.More top ... 
NAD C 375BEE Integrated Amp Replacement Recommendations
Many also use low wattage tube amps, apparently.  All those dips in the lower register means is one needs an amp with good current.  1 watt of power into those speakers develops volume levels loud enough to shake the walls.  The 375 is a budget of... 
NAD C 375BEE Integrated Amp Replacement Recommendations
The OP mentioned his speakers the Klipsch RF-7 II.  Does anyone realize that the sensitivity spec is 101db?!nobody needs 150 wpc to drive these speakers and I doubt the OP is using more than 20-30 watts from the Nad unless he’s already deaf.I had ... 
adcom equipment.....
It's a couple of weeks later, and I've sold a few things and acquired a pair of Totem Hawks, as I've mentioned elsewhere on this forum.  I bring it up here because I've currently got the 6002 driving them, and it seems to be doing fine which somew... 
Opinions on Parasound A21 & A21+
The one thing about the A21 is that the top end is a little rolled  off sounding.  For laid back speakers or cables, etc, this can squeltch the top end, depending on one’e tastes of course.i had the amp for about 4 years with the P7.  I wanted a m...
