Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
@georgehifi How am I anti a company for simply stating that they have certain products that measure worse than the competition, while also praising some of their other products for good measured performance? Am I anti Mercedes for stating flagsh... 
Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
@georgehifi In terms of transparency, all their MultiBit DACs. Since Schiit even states their $100 DAC is their best measuring one, I wonder if they truly believe in the Yggy for instance, or if they just wanted something to appeal to those with... 
Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition
@rvpiano  The music fairies sprinkled their magic.  
Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
@georgehifi   Just pointing out how they have nothing to hide for their well performing $100 DAC, but they won’t show all for their $700 power amp, and I see no reason as to why.   I’m neutral on Schiit, they make some good and some bad.

@georgehifi Of course it’s Schiit’s blame. They don’t hide anything for the Modi 3:https://www.schiit.com/public/upload/PDF/Schiit%20DAC%20APx555%20Standard%20Test%20Suite_%20Modi%203... Schiit even states the Vidar specs are from measurements, ...

What do you think about this oneWow, now that is odd, they show a measurement graph for Noise+Distortion, but not for any others expect frequency response, simply specs. I would like to note that the Hypex amps I mentioned performs better; voltag... 
Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition
@rvpiano Blame the music studios not the gear 😬. Good gear just shows which songs were handled with care, which ones wanted to win the “loudness war”, and which ones were simply not handled with any care. If after a few days it still doesn’t so...

@georgehifi Measurement graphs to be more clear, not chosen specs to publish. What’s the THD at 25W into 8ohm? I know the Benchmark AHB2 at 25W into 8ohm is less than 0.0002%, because Benchmark publishes the AP measurement graphs, and Stereophile... 
Marantz PM10 class D amp
@viethluu What I was getting at is that the rule of thumb is that the speakers (including subs if you have) should make up no less than 1/2 your total system price. You are not anywhere close to meeting this. If you bought some/all used, then tha...

@kalali  How can you make statements in regards to amplifier performance/musicality when you are not using the same speakers to compare them (and maybe not even in the same room)?  
Looking for my first DAC
@curiousjimhttps://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/smsl-su-8-version-2-balanced-dac.5433/pag... Follow steps for a discount on the RME, if that’s the DAC you want of course.  
Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
The fact that Schiit posts measurements for the $100 Modi 3 but not for the Vidar and others makes me weary, like they’ll only show performance if it’s good for the price.  $800 gets you a monoblock pair of Outlaw Model 2200 amps.
