Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range?
I only stream Tidal HIFI via Logitech SB Touch. The only one I tried with the exact system is the Bifrost and Chord Mojo. Others I have mentioned above were in similar or different systems. I honestly think most DACs sound pretty good/similar I me... 
Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range?
No, stock. I don't blame you. I just wanted to get a DAC that sounds like LP and after so many readings/asking, I bought the Bitstream. It sounds so good, I am also suprised by it.  
Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range?
Although I did not compare to Gungir, I have compared to other Schiit DACs such as Bifrost. I also heard DCS DACs and recently heard Gustard X20 Pro and owned various DACs including Chord Mojo. Bitstream is the only DAC that gives me the analog LP... 
Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range?
I opened a thread about Museatex Bitstream being the best DAC I have heard. So, although most of you will find it odd that I am recommending a 25-year old DAC, I can say that you have to try it before you say anything. I can't believe how musical ... 
difference between an active and a passive preamp?
Thanks! No, mine is a stock unit. I am leaning towards the Tortuga Audio but have not made my mind yet. 
difference between an active and a passive preamp?
My DAC is Musatex Bitstream. Amp is Class D. Thanks.  
difference between an active and a passive preamp?
I am bumping an old thread here!I am leaning towards going with a passive preamp. Although, I am not into numbers too much because as long as you like the sound, who cares but in this case, I think it is important to check some numbers.Is passive ... 
Harbeth Love and your experiences
I should also add that (obviously) above is my opinion. Everyone is different. No, Harbeth will not rock the house, no they are not party speakers. So, I guess there will be people who even hate Harbeths:) 
Harbeth Love and your experiences
No offense to people who spend big bucks on "ultra high-end" expensive speakers. Really, Harbeth is the only speaker you need. I have heard and owned many speakers. Some cheap, some expensive. I owned from Sonus Faber Extrema to Elac, Magnepan to ... 
What is most important part of a system?
Thanks for all the replies. Of course everything is important in the system. As I mentioned, every component including cables were all high-end. You cannot just expect a $10K turntable sound the best with $100 speakers. In my experience same speak... 
TETRA SPEAKERS ANYONE?
Correction: It was the 105 not 120U.http://www.tetraspeakers.com/high_end_speakers_pages/105.aspx 
TETRA SPEAKERS ANYONE?
Replying to an old thread here.I think it was 2003 when I heard them. It was the 120U I think. Their smallest speaker. They were AMAZING. Even today I do not understand why Tetra speakers are not well known among audiophiles. I guess distribution ... 
What's going on with the audio market?
I think more people started to go buy cheaper but VERY good sounding stuff. For example, the new tiny Class D amps sound awesome. You would probably think "nah" when you read this but it is REALLY good. No, it does not sound as good as an $5K Clas... 
If a gear is dirt cheap, do you think it is no good?
I like vintage Nikko components. They’re dirt cheap and sound damn good. Also I like JBL 43xx series speakers for same matter.Do you have Nikko electronics and JBLs in your main system? If you have other brands (probably more expensive), are they ... 
If a gear is dirt cheap, do you think it is no good?
I guess I could not explain myself (obviously). I mean will you keep the cheap gear in your main system if you really like it or you want the expensive gear for little better sound? I would not ask this question on DIY Audio but I am curious to kn...
