| Least expensive discrete resistor ladder NOS DAC? Check out the multibit DACs from Schiit. Not sure if they are discrete resistor or not (although I assume they are). There are three of them under $2,000 new. | |
| Transparent Audio Between MM2 and Gen 5, there was supposedly a 1.5 level jump | |
| open request to Audiogon.. please refine your listing filters It would also be great if the cable listings had a searchable field for length | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Gdhal-Good that you recognize that the balanced output of the Yggy might be better than the SE. I understand your desire for an apples to apples comparison with the Oppo, but I think an equally valid comparison is "best" to "best". Certainly, if... | |
| Dac upgrade? I went from an HRT to a Bifrost. It was clearly better, and that was before Multibit. The Multibit upgrade was substantial, and i think essential at this point. If Spotify Premium is 44.1kHz/16bit, I'm sure you will hear a large difference. | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? @tomic601 Yes, both were fully broken in. The LS28 I bought new on the trade-in deal this summer and it has about 1,000 hours on it. The REF6 was purchased used and had about 3,000 hours when I put it in the system and compared it to the LS28. | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? My system (Yggy>REF6>ARC150SE>ML-CLX and BF210) | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? @tomic601 I have a nearly new LS28 sitting in a box I can sell you for the comparison, lol.I will say, it is 90% of the REF6 that replaced it, in my system (Yggy>REF6>ML CLX and BF210). Very much cut from the same cloth. Just lacks some d... | |
| SPDIF to USB Converter? Take a look at this ADC.http://www.schiit.com/products/jil | |
| What sample rate should I choose? @djf1 I second shadorne's recommendation of BitPerfect. Changes resolution for you, but also makes the sound better. Clearer for sure. Best $9.99 I have spent on audio, other than buying music. @fstein 192 is clearly better (albeit with dimini... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? Martin-Logan CLS IIz ... the entire time | |
| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? I think you made a wise decision. Will be interested to know what you think after you get it ... | |
| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? MB upgrade of Bifrost requires return of unit to Schiit, as they need to flash upgrade the software on the main board (EPROM?), I think ... | |
| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? @ghosthouse Yes, the Yggy was only released as MB.Questions about money are always dependent on the value you place on things, and your economic situation. So I will not address absolute "worth". Relative "worth" is easier. I think it would be as ... | |
| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? Hi Ghosthouse-I had an stock BiFrost that I then upgraded to Uber, and then multi-bit, when it became available.It has been over a year, so can not give many of the fine details, but:1. MB was a much bigger upgrade than Uber.2. Like wtf, the thing... |
