| D to A converter purchase.... I do not have experience with either the Wadia 321 or the Schiit Gungnir Multibit. However, I do have experience with a Schiit Yggdrasil and experience dealing with Schiit as a company (business entity). I'll give them a thumbs up. | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Analog B has been powered on continuously for 72 hours now. I note the external temperature reads 94 degrees F, up by as many as 4 degrees from analog A. While my "senses" and "gut feel" tell me this is *not* a problem per se, nevertheless I thoug... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions @georgehifi I've been in communication with Jason Stoddard regarding the analog B photo(s). His reply: "I will eventually get Analog B photos done we have a ton of things more pressing right now, though." | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions I though it odd also my return check list paperwork had the same crap on it. " external damage of blemishes area "scratches top". Is this standard operating procedure?@bacobits1 Now that is interesting. Given our experiences are very much the sam... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Let’s have a good hi def pic posted of the inside on a free image hosting site.George, I’m reluctant to do that. Are you meaning to try and detect the difference between the analog A and B boards, assuming it can be detected by eye? | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Best to if your up to it compare the two with their data sheets.Hi George. I'll leave the technical dissection to you if you don't mind. I have looked at the AD5791 previously, but can't say I completely understand it. By all means, let me know ho... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions So my Yggdrasil is back and hooked up in my system. Let me start with the obvious and easy to check items. The serial number has changed completely (and is now prefixed by a "B"). A single sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper with a sticky note indicates the... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 ... I wanted something with tube(s) that was natural sounding, musical, transparent with no oversampling, filtering or buffering and now have this Dac in my system... the music has a wholeness to it that’s hard to explain but the room is alive wi... | |

| Best - Must Have IEMs - Chinese Origin Shure SE846 are reference IEM to die for. They are comparable in sound quality to the best over ear open back headphones in the world.Hi @shadorne Just curious if you have personally used these in ear headphones. I haven’t. I realize you wrote you... | |
| Replace my DAC or not? The source is certainly important, but there is no need to spend this kind of money on a source. The ONLY thing that matters from a transport is the jitter at the end of the S/PDIF cable. Nothing else matters, nothing.That too shouldn't matter if ... | |
| Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs I’ve just picked up a brand new Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby). The company only gives you 15 days for in-home trial before you lose the opportunity to return it. As it’s not quite broken in yet, does anybody know how it may compare to for instan... | |
| Speaker audition recommendations? OP, one other thing directly to the point of the thread... when it comes to auditioning speakers (at a dealer), you should only give so much credence to the audition. Here is a link to related thread on audiogon that may interest you:https://forum... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions I've just been notified " Your repair is complete and your product is on its way back to you" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
