| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @georgehifi it does. Some audiophiles claim to be able to hear the difference. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @shadorne Let me ask you a different question. Is there a publication for rational audio hobbyists? I am getting tired of subjectivist nonsense. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @shadorne Sorry, I am out of my depth here. Could you please help me with this. My thinking is as below. Where am I going wrong. Assume we have 21 bit of data. We use the MSB to select one of the DACs, the +ve or the -ve one. Then we send the rema... | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? @ddrave44 Many thanks for your answer.How does Unitiserve deal with song titles? Does it find them online? What happens if there are no titles available? | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @gdhal Sure thing. Well, I have learned a lot from some of the answers. I think that Schiit took a courageous step to use R2R chips in their DACs. They have one groovy machine there. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @almarg Great and very clear answer. Many thanks, super helpful. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @gdhal I don’t want to argue either. I posed a simple question in the OP. I got some good answers, but was also viciously attacked by some aggressive individuals here.One’s logic almost compels one to ask: how can you get 21 bit resolution out of ... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @gdhal Because DAC3 is the pinnacle of technology at the moment. If it gives you satisfaction to use/own technologically advanced and superbly engineered devices, then DAC3 is your thing. If you don't care about specs and technology, then your cho... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @gdhal Yes, DAC3 and Oppo will sound the same. Not because they use similar chips, but because all decent modern DACs sound the same.I am glad that you are happy with your purchase.As regards bit perfect PCM -- the DACs in the Yggy use R2R ladders... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @ghosthouse "Nothing comes close."Implicit: "...because, I’ve heard ALL the others and speak from first hand experience. "No, nothing comes close to their technological expertise. DAC3 measures better than anything out there -- hence, nothing come... | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? @rbstehno Many thanks for your explanation. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that ripping can correct some errors that cannot be corrected when you play a CD in real time? There are some things in your post I still don't understand.1.... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @gdhal Try the Benchmark DAC3. Nothing comes close. It will not give the fourth verse, but it will play your music better than anything else out there.About all of your DACs sounding great -- of course they do. Nobody can tell decent modern DACs a... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @shadorne Good point. Those people do order expensive ingredients. Using their methods of analysis they can’t really tell the good ingredients from bad ones, though. Whatever sounds good is good. Whatever tastes good is good. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? Many nice suggestions. Thank you very much.@corelliYou are right, I was too vague in my original post. Tried to make it more precise, though.The VAC Phi 200 looks spectacular.So does the Conrad Johnson CAV-45.And the SLI-80 is just almost perfect ... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @shadorne I understand many here do not care about measured performance as long as they like the sound.Yes, I am becoming aware of that. Could one say that such measurements-don't-matter audiophiles are like junk food addicts? They like to eat wha... |
