| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing I'd suggest you try the Urd via the USB connection. Mike Moffat, the designer, says "it's the best I ever heard". Listen to his Youtube video "Schiit Q&A Mike Moffat", streamed live on Jan 13, 2021, "CD Transport" chapter. https://www.yout... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? fastcat95, Perhaps "picky" is not the best word. The user manual states to try non-audiophile cables, free of adapters, that meet the USB 2.0 specs. I can't say what all that means as the USB 2.0 spec is 650 pages long. However, the spec indica... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? fastcat95, There's a couple of reviews for the Kimber Kable on the web. One on Hi-Fi+ by Alan Sircom and the other in German on Fairaudio. I'd say I agree with both of those reviews for the Kimber Kable. A lot of people on this site have used... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? fastcat95, I've successfully used a DH Labs Mirage and a Kimber Kable Select Cu, both native USB-C to USB-B with no adapters. Both of these as Urd USB output to an Yggdrasil+. I haven't tried any digital inputs. | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? I know the first run of Urds was to be rather small - perhaps 250. I believe those may have sold out quickly and a second run is planned. Perhaps there are some units DOA, but I have read of only one user with this problem on this forum. Outsid... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport. Who has one? Impressions? wturkey, I posted my impressions in the thread pmm linked. If you have any questions after reading my post, let me know, and I'll try to answer. | |
| USB CD Transports I posted a few of my thoughts on the Schiit Urd on another thread. IMHO, a key technology of the Urd that seems to be getting overlooked is the Unison USB interface. Mike Moffat designed this interface to be superior to SPDIF. The Urd uses th... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? I have two transports - an Atoll DR200 Signature and now the Schiit Urd. I’ve used the Atoll transport the past few years, connecting to an Yggdrasil OG (now Yggy+ LIM), with a Jorma SPDIF cable. I purchased the Urd as it is my understanding is ... | |
| Help with choosing a CD transport Something doesn’t sound right. That Audiolab should have lower jitter for the spdif than the Oppo 93. I have an Oppo 93 and used it as a transport for some time. It never sounded quite right to me, harshness in the highs, and after playing around... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil A1 versus A2 Upgrade My Yggdrasil sounds nothing like you describe. It’s a very fine sounding DAC. Very lively and dynamic, with good bass. I had an original A1, and then upgraded to A2. Both sounding similar, but the A2 is more refined. The bass is not significan... | |
| Careful using Loki From the user manual: " Note: when Loki is turned off it is technically bypassed, but the unpowered input may cause distortion in some systems. Best to turn it on and switch it to bypass the tone controls."I leave mine on all the time. The bypa... | |
| Looking for Help with Speaker Jumper Cable Choice Here's my observations. I’ve been playing with speaker jumpers the past three weeks. My speaker cables are quite good – Von Gaylord Chinchilla.Pulling the brass jumpers, I tried three different jumpers. I also tried all the various jumper confi... | |
| Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker Washing machine anti-vibration pads? They sure work on my heavy, high speed washer. Cheap, too. | |
| Meridian 800 DVD/CD Version 4 The Meridian is older, and getting replacement transports can be an issue. If you listen to Redbook CD only, I’d suggest considering a decent, low cost transport and DAC. For a little bit more than your budget you could get a Tascam CD-200BT ... | |
| C-Marc power cable I use a LessLoss C-Marc power cord on my Yggdrasil A2 DAC. It bettered a number of other power cords that I tried in that location. I’ve found my source to be the most sensitive location in terms of power cord effects on the overall sonics in my... |
