| DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison Hi David. Terrific review. And thank you!Question. You mention "....with respect to the Yggdrasil. One very surprising aspect was a light haziness or grayness that I had not picked up nor realized prior to having the Terminator in system."For clar... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Hi @atacgene Thanks for your clarification.Even an upgraded LPM wouldn’t necessarily have a noticeable effect on video. I’ve read from users who have purchased their own do-it-yourself modification, and have never read back that there was any vide... | |
| DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system Down the road, your upgrade chain would be to perhaps use the Oppo as transport only, and hook up to a dedicated Schiit DAC and/or use reclocking devices to clean up the signal as Steve has suggested. +1That is precisely what I’m doing, albeit min... | |
| Decibel question Am I missing something not being able to listen to 100 plus? Only you can answer that question. But as you've stated at one point your ears were hurting, regardless of whatever you may be missing, your first priority (IMO) becomes protecting yo... | |
| DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system Why not move up the Schiit line of DAC products? | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Regards to Video output effect. If the original AC is modded, which can still be done with mod right oppo then it should improve video (if even needed!). Why? | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... The measured problems JA observed in the Schiit are very real although if you like the sound you like the sound.High level feedback.... And this in no way is a poke at your post @ghasley . Rather, I'm just calling into question JA's measurements i... | |
| Frequencies >20kHz? Hi bf. Welcome to the forum. Yes, this is the "right" category. Not to worry if it isn’t though, because there are so many miscategorized treads throughout that categorization has little relevance here, IMO. I believe ultrasound does play a role i... | |
| Shiit Loki Would the Loki be of any help in trying to fix bad room acoustics (too much bass because of speakers being closed to the wall)?Of course, the Loki cannot do anything about fixing your room, but it definitely can attenuate the bass as this is one ... | |
| Publication bias and confounders in product reviews - TAS, Stereophile, Audiogon, etcetera I had a job trading bits for pieces We'd make wrinkles, advertise them as creases | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Please lets be civil and well meaning in our conduct, or I’m out of here. +1I absolutely agree with you amg56.But, being civil and well meaning in our conduct includes you too. You mayn’t go around questioning ones intelligence, simply on the bas... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I didn’t bother with that in this case. I am a trained listener and do this every single day, listening for changes, problems, nuances. Been doing that for 42 years. I don’t doubt my conclusions. I made business decisions based on them.You are wel... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Why do you believe that Ethernet renderers = streaming? Hi Steve.If I'm mistaken here (and you're saying that I am) then I appreciate your pointing it out.My DAC (Yggdrasil) does not support Ethernet in, and I'm in no hurry to get another one. But... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD How do you get time to listen to it all?I listen at a rate of 12 hours of live concert recordings weekly, for many years now. Each day I listen to a completely different show. In my case, I primarily, but not exclusively, listen to Grateful Dead. ... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric @amg56Sorry if it offends you, but yes, your statement is inaccurate. Last time I checked the English dictionary, and given the context of this forum in particular, "watch" and "listen" are essentially synonymous with video and audio, respectively... |
