| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? Celo,Hard to imagine that a 20 yr old dac could extract the detail and realistic soundstaging that modern chips and design can accomplish! Is your Bitstream modded? | |
| Remote controlled TADAC owners I have one and would be willing to entertain the notion. How much of a hurry are you in? I probably won't get clear to do it for a month of so. | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? "I'm currently comparing the Audio GD to Ares, both have approx. 150 hours so far, I'm leaning toward the Ares right now."Have you directly compared the Ares to the well-regarded dacs from Metrum and Schiit? | |

| Metrum Musette or Schitt Gungnir Multibit? Thanks for the recommendation. However, you cannot know about the quality and relaibility of the parts and there is little feedback online about these. I prefer to stick to units with proven reliability and that can easily be serviced, if need be. | |
| Metrum Musette or Schitt Gungnir Multibit? Other possibilities: Matrix X-Sabre and Anedio D2. | |
| Speakers to pair with the Ars Sonum Filarmonia tube amp? Bradf, Thanks for you input. I take it you have personal experience with the various speakers you recommend, Ref 3a De Capo, Fritz, Tyler, Salk, etc. The cost for the Merlin upgrade was what Rich at Signature quoted -- new tweeters and crossover c... | |
| Speakers to pair with the Ars Sonum Filarmonia tube amp? Currently I'm using Merlin TSM mmi speakers -- the model preceding the Black Magic edition. I could update the Merlins (~$1k) or switch to entirely new speakers. Silky, non-fatiguing top end is mandatory. | |
| Good preamp with Merlin TSM speakers? re soundsrealaudio. What do you recommend? | |
| Good preamp with Merlin TSM speakers? With Master RC. |
