| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? timlub,I have no personal experience with Gustard but I feel that it`s a bit over-hyped on some forums. You can check Head-Fi forums for Denafrips Ares R2R ladder dac. Here are some words from the HF member with very revealing top high-end system:... | |
| Metrum Musette or Schitt Gungnir Multibit? pmboyd, Check the head-fi forum. It seems that many are ordering these and there will be probably more reviews soon. I`ve seen only one used Ares and it sold for the new price within a day or so because it was already in US. It was sold becaus... | |
| Metrum Musette or Schitt Gungnir Multibit? pmboyd, Four day shipping via DHL is $50 so you risk with $100 only. LOL. any transaction involves some risk. 😛 | |
| Metrum Musette or Schitt Gungnir Multibit? pmboyd,Can`t see how it`s more risky than anything else? The quality is top-notch and warranty from Vinshine Audio is 3 years. | |
| Metrum Musette or Schitt Gungnir Multibit? I`d second Denafrips Ares R2R DAC. It`s just insane what you get for the price. | |
| best speakers what do you think For less than $7K you can easily find a mint Alto Utopias so why bother with 1038 be..... YMHO | |
| best speakers what do you think smitchem1, Try the PSB Imagine T3's! You will forget about the other two! 😉 And your option is based on the reviews or you have actually compared all three in the same system? | |
| What is most important part of a system? It will be fun for 30 seconds! Why does it take so long? If the difference is so big I usually don`t need more than a couple seconds to pick the winner. :)) | |
| Ghost in the machine? Agree with Erik. It`s probably amp. But it doesn't hurt to check the circuit also. | |
| best speakers what do you think bassdude,Very interesting design. The tweeter seems AMT?But the appearance is a bit scary. They look like someone has stuck a toilet plunger in the mid-bass. :)) | |
| Ghost in the machine? You may also try to remove everything that's connected in the same circuit. If it happens randomly it may be a freezer or who knows what. | |
| Ghost in the machine? Have you tried to plug the amp to another circuit under another barker?If nothing changes you may try a different amp. | |
| What is most important part of a system? joejoe,Totally agree. I also trust my ears. Newer and more expensive is not equivalent to better sound. In high-end audio industry the prices are horribly inflated and it`s quite common that some older vintage or cheaper gear puts today's mega-dol... | |
| best speakers what do you think Focals are extremely revealing and they need very good amp and source to shine. Such gear usually tends to be even more expensive than the speakers. Don`t worry too much about cables. Kimbers are good. | |
| What is most important part of a system? czarivey, Alesis Masterlink may be good and the term "close" is subjective but your statement is astounding.Sorry to say but such complicated $250 Recorder/DAC has it`s budget that only allows the cheapest parts to be used. It sure may be extr... |
