| Schiit Urd CD Transport vs Marantz CD6007 Player Seems a tough question to answer since the Urd is not yet available -- nothing shows on Schiit's web site. | |
| Suddenly...one third of my tracks are 'unavailable' using Qobuz I've had a couple of situations where the album initially seemed to disappear from Qobuz only to find my original link had changed. The album was still there, but just not accessible with my old link in Favorites or a Playlist. A new search turned... | |
| High Gain? Here's an example of the OP's situation. I bought a Schiit Aegir power amp which doesn't have a lot of gain on its own. I originally purchased a Schiit Saga+ preamp to go with it, which uses a tube buffer in a unity gain circuit -- it adds no addi... | |
| How loud are you typically listening? I typically use C scale, which is a flatter measurement. The A scale cuts both low and high frequencies to simulate the human ear's sensitivity at low to moderate levels. The A reading is only flat from about 500 Hz to 6 KHz. As such, the A scale... | |
| How loud are you typically listening? 80 to 85 dB is very loud for me if I’m listening to rock/pop. Most other acoustic material is 5 to 10 dB lower than this. Like some of the other posters, I have an old school analog dB meter. | |
| My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today I had a VTV Hypex nCore amp and thought its construction was good and neatly done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his gear if one is in the market for a good class D amp at a very reasonable price. | |
| Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh! "...why do when you can overdo?" Audio is a great example of a common human tendency to think that if this much is good, then more must be better. Sometimes that works, most often it makes no difference (other than to spend more money), and someti... | |
| Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh! Have you considered using powerline network adaptors? They run ethernet over your house wiring which allows you to put the adaptor outside of the stereo cabinet and then run a CAT cable from it to the Node 2i. Your streamer will think it is hardwi... | |
| Options for integrateds for Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s? For an integrated amp, I'd throw a Schiit Ragnarok into the mix. $1,500 new without the phono and DAC modules, or $1,800 with. It has 60 watts a channel at 8 ohms and 100 at 4. It is a class A/B amp. If the power level sounds low compared to some... | |
| Schitt Saga tube buffer preamplifier gain? If you want a preamp that uses the 6SN7 preamp tube, check out the Schiit Lyr 3. It offers 2 gain settings, both are higher than unity. The low setting has 3.5 dB gain and the high 17.5 dB. I had a Saga+ for a couple of months and discovered tha... | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? Before I wrote my prior reply, I carefully looked at Schiit's web site and reviewed their owners manual for ANY mention of using the Freya as a HT bypass preamp. I found nothing. I, too, would like to see screen shots of the emails from Schiit "m... | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... Sounds like you've been screwed. The only recommendation I have is don't let it ruin your life -- letting resentments run your life day after day is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? Sounds like you are treating the Freya's "passive" mode option as a HT bypass. That's not what the passive mode was intended for and nothing in their literature or owners manual indicates anything about its use as a HT bypass feature. Sounds li... | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. @jumia -- I think you misunderstand the general direction of this thread. The subject of room acoustics is well understood by those who have studied it extensively. However, it is not an issue where an amateur can do a five minute Google search ... | |
| Streamer wanted Just a reminder that you can find a "Google post" with a negative (or positive or neutral) opinion about anything in the world. Every piece of gear has its advocates and naysayers, plus a whole bunch more who don't care one way or the other. Th... |
