| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? How about the GoldenEar Triton ones for $5k (or $8k if you want to spring for the new Triton reference).I have them in my living room, with the built in subs they have dynamic range, and they certainly seem to disappear from the soundstage to me.+1 | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? You're very welcome @defiantboomerang. | |
| Shiit Loki Good to know. Thank you! | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions I think they both sound digital but in different ways and I like them both.@ anzaanimalclinicAnd which DAC have you personally heard or have you no familiarity with what-so-ever that you beleive sounds analog?Makes me wonder how many who said they... | |
| Does a new cd transport require break-in time? ....HOWEVER when I put the Cambridge transport on pause I do hear a clicking though the DAC. It is very irritating and I have no idea what to make of it? ........Forget about calling Schitt and asking them whats up. They have lousy phone support!!... | |
| Best Belden Cables For Speaker Wire 5T00UP | |
| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp I use inexpensive cabling myself between my Yggy and M6si. Specifically, I'm using Straight Wire Musicable II Level 1 XLR. I'd consider "better", but if I'm not mistaken, I've read somewhere (including this forum) that "balanced cable is balanced ... | |
| What formats does the Yggdrasil DAC support? Just got mine back, and it's playing 24-bit 44.1kHz and 96kHz WAV just fine through my UltraRendu using Roon. @parsonsI think you're Yggy is "fine" too. There is some recent comments on https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-yggdrasil-impressions-... | |
| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp @krelldogOf the two you mention (Audience Au24 SE and Acoustic Zen Ultimate copper), while I could be mistaken, isn't the Acoustic Zen Ultimate copper the balanced option of the two? Point is, I think whatever you decide, you want balanced and not... | |
| Small but high quality integrated @melbguy1 I think you mean the Musical Fidelity M6si, not the M6i, which is discontinued. And I'll give a +1 to the M6si, | |
| Best practices when conducting a DAC comparison ........ is using the same cabling across the different DACs the best way forward?OR........ is it better to compare optimized systems, with the components standing on their own within them?Both ways is technically best from a comparison and arriv... | |
| Best practices when conducting a DAC comparison @david_ten So may I assume that it is your intention to compare **on a per input basis** the Schiit Yggdrasil to the Denafrips Terminator ?What inputs will you be comparing?Will you be posting your observation results herein? | |
| Best practices when conducting a DAC comparison @david_ten I initially thought, because of the way I interpreted your 11-07-2017 8:24am post, that you were wanting to install or use the Gen 5 board with or within your Denafrips Terminator. I also assumed (because you wrote that you have the "Sc... | |
| Best practices when conducting a DAC comparison The Denafrips Terminator was delivered early yesterday morning and went in system yesterday afternoon.I’ve ordered the Gen 5 USB board from Schiit and will be doing the install myself.I don’t understand. I thought the Schiit Gen 5 is an upgrade fo... | |
| Does a new cd transport require break-in time? I’ve yet to call Schiit about the problem. Schiit doesn't use telephones. Email only. And even then, their customer service (or lack thereof) leaves something to be desired. |
