| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? My sound was harsh and staging was poor. GIK 244 full range absorbers at my first reflection points made such a large improvement I could not believe my ears. I then bought numerous diffusers for the rear wall and directly to my left and right. M... | |
| How do you know what room treatments to use? I started with GIK full range absorbers at my first reflection points and that helped tremendously. I then added quadratic diffusers to my rear wall and to my left and right. I temporarily have some diffusers in my mid wall corners for the bass ... | |
| USB sucks I have a 2010 MacMini with dual SSDs one for the OS and one for music files. I run USB to my Schiit Yggdrasil w/Unison USB. I started with a generic data cable as I did not yet understand the issue with music transmission through USB. I upgrad... | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less The Schiit GUNGNIR Multibit sounded so good after 2 weeks I upgraded to the Yggdrasil. I couldn’t be happier. | |
| Youngsters these days. Im 46 years old and I’ve been ripping CDs since 2000, purchasing hi-res FLAC files since 2010. I currently have 300GB of music on my MacMini with dual SSDs. I still purchase CDs, SACDs and rip them along with streaming Tidal and Qobuz. With the ni... | |
| It happened again tonight I have 14 Pink Floyd albums (CDs) (Three versions of DSoTM)‘The Wall’ has never been high on my list. My top two are Meddle and Animals followed by Wish You Were Here. I just received The Wall -1994 Harvest Remaster by Doug Sax. It has much more ... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion @millercarbonThank you for the information. I look forward to experimenting over the next month. I see you have been doing this a while. Nice setup. | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion I was skeptical about a USB cable changing the sound. It did noticeably. I doubted power cables would make a difference. Wow was I wrong. Coming from the skeptic side, even though I knew signal cable and speaker cables made a difference, it cert... | |
| Room Treatment I’m currently awaiting my GIK 244 broadband absorbers for my first reflection points. I bought numerous Quadratic Fractal Acoustic Diffuser Panels made from styrofoam. I’m currently using them in my first reflection points till the 244s arrive in ... | |
| does MacBook Pro need a DAC? Any outboard DAC will likely be better than the internal one. I’ve found that a good DAC is key to having the music converted properly. Even with cheap speakers you’ll likely hear a quite noticeable improvement. When I moved to an outboard DAC o... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9g314-custom-made-cable-elevators-set-of-10-tweaksI had these redesigned to fit my 8awg cables. Using some for my power cords also. Did I hear a difference? Didn’t even bother to try to. In theory, they should ... | |
| Schiit just got real... I just installed the Unison USB board in my Yggy last week. It’s sounding excellent as expected. | |
| Preamp w/DAC (or Integrated w/DAC) vs. Outboard/External DAC? (Again! Forgive me!) Schiit-Freya S preamp Schiit-Yggdrasil DACSchiit- Vidar amps in monoDynaudio Focus 260 speakers | |
| Preamp w/DAC (or Integrated w/DAC) vs. Outboard/External DAC? (Again! Forgive me!) In the past two months I’ve switched from an integrated DAC to an external $500, then a $1250, and finally a $2450 DAC. I wish I had tried an external years ago. It’s amazing the difference in between the units. I’m very happy with the unit I’ve... | |
