| Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review Thanks Grannyring....I am afraid it will do no good to anyone. No one wants to tweak....too afraid of hurting it, loosing warrantee or loosing resale value. Of the 250 or so Yggys sold only two people have even taken the cover off. One changed the... | |
| Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review The stock Yggy is perhaps the best sounding PCM only DAC in its price range.....very good value. However, a few simple inexpensive mods can take it to another level. These DIY mods can be done in a couple of hours. Please see my website for detail... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Lies? Man, you are off the deep end! Who are you quoting? Must be God because you are so righteous! he he. But God would not have said "In My Opinion". You don't have an opinion....you believe you have the "truth" and you keep quoting other people... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD George-lo-fi just won't let it go. He believes he is right and will state so over and over again.There was this guy on Audioasylum that would always say DVD-A sucks or something like that.....he would say it over and over....eventually we made up ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD The AD1955 is $7.00.....sounds cheap to me....I quess you don't like the word Cheap? How about inexpensive?....less offensive? I did not say the Berkeley Ref or any expensive DAC is cheap....just talking about the DAC chip.....it is cheap. cheep c... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD The Berkeley Reference is not an R to R DAC. It is the cheap Analog Devices AD 1955 chip.....it is a "multibit Delta Sigma DAC" Not the same at all as R to R. I think Rowland and Empirical use this DAC chip as well.MSB has been using a discrete R ... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Sorry, Kii speakers....look them up. I thought if you change the subject it becomes the first line.....not so here. Kiiaudio.com | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Please check out their website, speakers and read the English translation of the review just published in the German Audio Mag. They say its the best sound they have ever heard in over 30 years of testing. $14,000 a pair here in the US...just star... | |
| Metrum Pavane NOS DAC According to Analog Devices the 5791 has no IV converter....voltage comes straight off the resistor string.Now back to your scheduled programming. | |
| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? By the way, the player I modded for this person was an Oppo 95 and it was modded early in 2012 (3.5 years ago). | |
| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? My reputation is sterling. No one feels as this person does. All I can say is that there are two sides to every story but I am not going to tell you my side. Don't believe this kind of thing belongs here. All I can say is what he said is not true ... | |
| Metrum Pavane NOS DAC George,As I described earlier it is possible to make an R2R DAC that has voltage out and not current out. This is what TotalDAC has and so does MSB. They do not need IV conversion. Maybe the 5791 does the same. The amount of voltage out on the 579... | |
| Metrum Pavane NOS DAC I am not totally sure but I think the ad5791 has no internal IV converter. If you make a discrete R2R DAC as MSB and TotalDAC do they both have voltage out without an IV converter. I think the same for this part. | |
| Metrum Pavane NOS DAC The Schiit Yggdrasil is also R2R using 4 $75 exotic 20 bit super precision Analog Devices DACs to give "pure 21 bits of info". My friend has one he lightly modded and he says its outrageous. You can see the mods on my website: http://www.tweakaudi... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Have you seen the technology in the Yggy? Apparently not. This is one serious machine. Yes, it needs tweaking.....you could even put a Lampizator output stage on it (personally a fan of zero feedback class A fet buffers). The Golden Gate is in ano... |
