| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac @audioengr Hi Steve. Your quoting @willemj and @randy-11 from posts back on 11/1 of last year. In any case, I happen to agree with them. You already know the respect I have for your work in this subject, and by no means am I stating that you are w... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions I'm very interested in what you think about the upgradeThanks. I'll post feedback basically once I receive it (i.e. immediately out of the box and operating on a cold startup) and then again after it burns in. While I don't really believe in burn ... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Status of analog board update..... my analog A Yggdrasil has been received into Schiit service..... I'm told approximately 5 business days (could be longer, although historically they are conservative in their estimates) for them to complete the u... | |
| Schiit Modi Multibit I would recommend it as well. This because I have some favorable experiences recently with Schiit as a business entity (i.e. having nothing to do with their already revered sound quality of their components). And coming from me, that's a rave. | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! That been said, one point that I feel is critical to this debate and perhaps the ultimate arbitrator, is humans’ hearing physiology and how the brain processes the sound. Right. One point that has been trumpeted by @atmasphere is how humans percei... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Yggdrasil is old newsBut their upgraded analog board is new news. | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. Not all of us have the luxury of a large enough space to accommodate all our needs (audio and video). With the speakers out enough in front of the media rack (with the TV, etc.) improvements can be had. And, it doesn't have to be that much in fr... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD For the money, the Schitt Yggdrasil. Everything you read about this thing is true and its convinced me that R2R design is the most musical and natural sound. I would be surprised if I ever purchase another delta-sigma design again.+ 1 | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Curious on which of the three Dacs listed below are better since Benchmark utilizing something no other Dac use, inter-samplingSupposedly the Yggdrasil also uses something no other DAC uses: Yggdrasil is the *world’s only closed-form multibit DAC*... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Thank you @chayro | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions @chayro On 10-17-2017 8:42am you posted "My suggestion is to stop thinking about it, leave the dac in the system for a month and then take it out. Sometimes, the benefit of a new component can be better judged when removed from the system after li... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions So from this it seems they are changing the dac's from the AD5791 to something else, you seem to be buddies with them gdhal ask them what the 4 new dac chips are? No. I believe (but could be wrong as the issue of the chips is rather secretive... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices I never felt the need for a centre speaker. You might (or really should) depending on the the of music you listen to. I’ve already undeniably pointed out (elsewhere on the forum in another thread) that the ability to reproduce lower than 30 Hz is... | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. I think the easy solution for folks who must have the rack between, is to move the speakers forward, and the rack back. So there is a greater sense of space between the speakers. Also to have the rack as low as possible..+1 | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices ...I really want to stick with 3 channel setup. I totally get the rationale behind the 2 channel configuration and that may be how I start but I love movies and I dont know if I could do without the center.You mentioned you heard the Golden Ear T... |
