| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC As I said above.....my friend in Pocoima would love to A/B his modded Yggy with a Bricasti or a Yale DS DAC or other super DAC like an Empirical or Lampy. I can get you in touch with him....An A/B in the same place with both warmed up (he can leav... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC The person who had the bone stock Yggy burned it in and A/Bed with the fully burned in MSB Analog DAC. He uses the top of the line Coincident speakers, preamp and amp and a bunch of $4700 Hi Fidelity cables.....a very revealing system.....he said ... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC No one does mods on anything over $1300.....the Oppo 105D is the only thing being modded by anyone. People are afraid of losing resale value. I could mod a Bricasti in many ways to make it way, way better.....no one would do it. NO ONE. This is wh... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC My friend has modified Yggdrasil DAC and would love to A/B with a Bricasti. He is in Pocoima, CA. If you have a Bricasti he could bring his DAC over or visa versa. The Yggy modified is pretty killer......might be better than Bricasti. See post her... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC ?? The Yggy has been out for about a month or so and is thought of very highly. One guy has MSB Analog DAC with external power supply and 4x USB input module ($11,500 list) and feels the Yggy is just as detailed but not as musical. Under my direction... | |
| Esoteric X-01 versus Oppo 105 Darbee for CD audio? Just saw this thread. I cannot imagine a stock Oppo keeping up with serious gear. Now, once modified (yea, I do this) then they are another whole league better in sound and can compete with much more expensive pieces. The advantage of a modded Opp... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC ?? I am not getting one right away. I will wait till someone sends me one to mod. Check out this thread for future reviews: http://www.head-fi.org/t/667711/new-schiit-ragnarok-and-yggdrasil/5655and also here: http://www.changstar.com/index.php?topic=... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC ?? Released today! Get yours now!Soon, after burn in and proper A/Bs we will know how good a stock Yggy is. Just saw the pics on the website and I see several things to mod on it that will make quite an improvement.....he he.....not even in anyones h... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I hope you are including yourself in the "every manufacturer" category.....he he.I been around the block. I know marketing hype from reality. Reality is what you hear....what you experience directly.It looks like some serious technology in the Ygg... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Have you guys seen this:http://www.changstar.com/index.php?topic=2047.0Does not do DSD but it may be really great....one review said Bricasti was in the league with Empirical.....well, one guy here says Yggdrasil is better than Bricasti....we shal... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Guys,Check out this thread:http://www.changstar.com/index.php?topic=2047.0If what one of the guys says is true then spending 8K on a DAC without listening to this about to be released $2300 DAC might be foolish | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Have you guys read this? : http://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/equipment-menu/528-devialet-400-mono-integrated-amplifier-dacsHe even likes the $6500 one better than anything he has heard on his Magicos. A DAC, a preamp, an amp...all in one.Wh... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil In my x-over you will also get to choose which amp to attenuate....However, you will be using fixed resistors (way better than any pot) to do the padding. Also there will not be switches in the path to choose which amp gets padded. Everything will... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Yes, your crossover is simple so an active xover would have to be seriously transparent for it to make any difference. The First Watt B4 is similar to the one I am designing....except mine is super way more tweak and pure. No switches, no pots, be... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I don't use any electrolytic caps in my xover (there are no coupling caps except for the filter caps)....only tiny polyprops. As far as resistors....you can easily to a straight wire bypass on a one ohm resistor.....just add it to the output of a ... |
