| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? I won't buy something just because of the name. I buy audiophile gears based on extensive quality reviews and trials. I purchased Schiit Modius and I kept it because I think it is a dac outperforming may DACs I had tried below $500 and other had... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @erik_squires Again, if you do a life music recording out of the 40Hz-20kHz speakers and the flat 20Hz-20kHz treated room, your claim will be much more convincing. Post it on Youtube and you will be famous. Why not? Your audiences should not... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @lemonhaze Erik (@erik_squires) has advised so. So let me get this right since it is kind of interesting. You mean if you had CD waveguides tweeter like horn, you will benifit from toe-in to cross in front of you as it will provide great imaging... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? "...most of the energy that drives your system will be shunted to drive the subs, and your amp driving the main speakers will be starved and get only the meager leftovers that the sub graciously allows." That should not the case if the sub is act... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? Eric, I do not wish to prove you wrong. In fact, since I know your existence in the forum and read several post of yours, I always respect and consequently place more weight on what you have advised or recommended to improve my system. So far, e... | |
| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? @antigrunge2 @willgolf @antigrunge2 Echo on you guys being able to state why and when preamp is not needed and without it the system sounds better. It is all about the quality and voltage of the analog output stage of Dac / Preamp. Take my syste... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? That was what I was saying "it is too good to be true" (without the aid from sub). I believe you know quite well that, in order to boost 6dB, you need to double the volume. So I wonder why do you even make fun 😀 of people when they question that a... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @erik_squires I really would like to take your words for it and tune my 44hz and 39 hz (+-3db) bookshelfs down to 20hz (flat like you have shown or -3db is fine). This really sounds a bit too good to be true to be honest. But before we invest furt... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile @invalid When Stereophile decides to mix the different price categories, sound quality is literally the only major determinant factor. I don’t know exactly the reason why they award Class A to Schiit Freya+ before the review is up, but the review ... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile @invalid You seem to imply the class A defined by Stereophile does not mean the highest quality. If so, please advise what does it really mean. I am all ears. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @daveinpa "...But I couldn’t tell the difference between my 200 dollar topping DAC and simply plugging my laptop audio out to preamp rca inputs..." I do not think Topping $200 ish or even sub $200 Dac (assuming your Topping Dac is one of the good... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Sometimes you just need to take it with a grain of salt when reading Amir's measurements and his assessment. It is the same for other reviewers' comments. I found, though, good measurement is not a sufficient condition of a well-received devices,... | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers You might want to use the following youtube clip for testing, which I believe is a good recording. Set up your speakers placement according to the actual stage and see if the SS within or beyond the speakers. Also close your eyes to feel the depth... | |
| CD player I suggest you try upgrading Modi to Modius first, if your PA has balanced connection. I do not have Modi before but found Modius_XLR is superior to all the entry-level Dac I had. The unison USB connection performance is terrific. Modius is also o... | |
