| What formats does the Yggdrasil DAC support? All PCM formats are supported. (No SACD or DSD).But I am curious about one thing: since I got the Gen 5 update the Yggy no longer plays 24-bit .wav or .aiff files from an Aurender N100H. Both companies point the finger at each other so I converted... | |
| Odyssey Stratos- need schematic Are there rail fuses visible to do a continuity check? | |
| McIntosh C50 USB Input Not Working It could be the C50 is demanding too much power from the Mac. You can try an external USB 2.0 powered hub. As always, you first have to see if the problem can be replicated on another MacBook and another cable before you blame the C50. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Two reasons: one is that a $100 component is a big cost with respect to the rest of the electronics. That costs more than all the output transistors in a high end high power amplifier.The second reason (I’m guessing): the fuse makers cannot or wil... | |
| DC leakage from power amps If this happens on both speakers, then I agree with Herman it's volume setting/listening levels. The chances of both monoblocks passing through excessive DC on startup is minimal, especially before this happened you didn't hear any thumps on ampli... | |
| DC leakage from power amps Does this happen on that one left speaker only and is that speaker always connected to the same monoblock? | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here Where I would first start is to look at the market and ask what is this $60k speaker going to offer that other $60k speakers do not? | |
| Refurbish vs New Amplifier? cleeds:AR refused to service my 100.2 last year because they didn't have all the parts for the amplifier. All I wanted were the caps replaced, which are stocked by Mouser and Digikey. All they could say is they agreed that bulging caps could leak... | |
| Refurbish vs New Amplifier? Older amplifiers are almost always not serviced by the factory because the parts may be obsolete and they don't want to take the chance of damaging, say, a working transistor while in their care. The only option is use a substitute which may not ... | |
| Room Acoustics - Best way to cover a glass door? Go to GIK Acoustics and look at the free standing acoustic panel. It's 60"H by 24"W so it should cover most of the door. Simply move it into place when you listen.http://www.gikacoustics.com/product/freestand-acoustic-panel-gobo/ | |
| (One more) Dedicate power line: twist questions, oxygen-free, and code questions. donzi:Yes. Joining two smaller wires to make a bigger wire. Reason it’s against code is if the connection comes loose, the load is then carried by one wire. Also, you should keep your insurance company in mind if you make your own feeder cables. A... | |
| (One more) Dedicate power line: twist questions, oxygen-free, and code questions. If you parallel the conductors into one breaker, then it's against code (only wires #1/0 or larger can be paralleled).My 2 cents: I would use two separate circuits each fed with 10/3 romex. The 10/3 comes already pre-twisted in the jacket, thereby... | |
| Ineed some help with a simple math equation As a Thiel 3.6 owner I wholeheartedly agree the more power the better (those speakers are excellent at high level transients, which is probably why they need power).My suggestion: since the Thiels have an average impedance of less than three ohms ... | |
| Why are my crossovers different Ditto on measuring. I would take the group of 4 caps you removed from each board and measure their capacitance in parallel and that is the value I would use for the new ones.The design value may 26.7 but chances are the manufacturer tested every d... | |
| How much does DAC ‘Reality’ cost in 2017? The $2,300 Schiit Yggdrasil was reviewed by Robert Harley at TAS last month and he wrote it was one of the best three DACs he's ever heard regardless of price. I purchased it 18 months ago and I wholeheartedly agree. I think that unit should be a ... |
