| DVD by Oppo 205 I had a similar question regarding plain old Blu-Ray and the rep at OPPO told me that if all I wanted to do is view Blu-Ray and not any 4K content, then I should stick with my 103 and not bother with the 203 or 205 as there wouldn't be any improve... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions For 75ohm SPIDF connection BNC is the best.Splendid! I take solace in knowing now that my system should only sound "better" if I choose to change connectivity. My RCA connection sounds spectacular (IMO and to me), so I can only just imagine what B... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @david_ten Got it. Thanks. :) | |
| Speaker distance What are the disadvantages of having to little or to much spacebetween your speakers?It will not sound as "correct" as it otherwise *could*. | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... I can say, with confidence, that the Terminator sounds different than and that I prefer it to the Yggdrasil.Hi David. In your opinion/review and preference aside, in what ways do the Terminator sound different to the Yggdrasil? Thanks. | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions You have to do your homework gdhal,....True that. Very appreciative as always of your input, George.Honestly though, I feel I do enough do diligence (i.e. homework). For instance, among certain other things, I did start a post here on the forum se... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions @limniscateThat's certainly a fair response on your part, especially if in your experience you've found that DACs really aren't doing all that they purport to do. As I mentioned to Steve (audioengr), I'm certainly not finished making any further u... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions I agree dacs make a bigger difference than what transports do, Basic dedicated cd transport with a good dac will bring much better results than hi end cd transport with basic dac .I too would have to think and hope so, especially when a DAC such a... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions That dacs make a bigger difference than what transports do, when reading CD's and using spdif proper 75ohm BNC connected coax, as RCA are not 75ohm.@georgehifi Baring false advertisement, why would RCA not be 75 ohm when blue jeans cable states (h... | |
| Low AC Line Voltage Like Erik, my voltage level fluctuates between 116 and 123. While listening it often fluctuates +/- 2V, but I cannot hear any difference nor does my gear complain. | |
| Gumby vs Yggy But seriously, shouldn't a good computer with good software be a "good" source.Yes, it should. Many here on the forum though will site the fact that it isn't necessarily "good enough". However, I personally am in the camp of "relying" upon the Sch... | |
| Gumby vs Yggy @treynolds155You’re very welcome. Shadorne’s suggestion is perfectly valid, and in fact Benchmark does offer the consumer a much better trial period/policy than Schiit.But we’ve beaten the Yggy/DAC 3 comparison to death and ad nauseam, most recent... | |
| Gumby vs Yggy Sorry, thought Gumby implied multibit. I’ve read several reviews comparing the Arcam as being very close to the Gungnir ds so I was actually thinking they mislabeled this as a Gumby. @treynolds155BTW, welcome to the forum! No need for an apology, ... | |
| Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection? Just a FWIW: this response really doesn’t make sense! So I can understand there being some confusion.And, unfortunately, that is a common theme where Schiit customer service and technical support are concerned. | |
| Gumby vs Yggy You haven't mentioned whether or not your Gumby was the multibit version. Either way the Yggy is an upgrade. If your Gumby was multibit, I'm relatively certain the power supply is the biggest part of the upgrade to Yggy. |
