| Upgrade to Windows 10 for USB 2 Not sure if this is an issue for all USB Audio, but it had my wireless network adapter dropping the LAN connection - so no access to my NAS drive - where my music is :-(Under certain power saving settings Window 10 allows the computer to power dow... | |
| Schiit Bifrost Multibit option Well, I guess my curiosity got the better of me - I just placed an order for the 4490At $70 for the self install option it was just too good to pass upI guess we'll have opinions on both upgrades in the coming weeks :-)Regards... | |
| Schiit Bifrost Multibit option George - on second reading of the Schiit site it appears that both upgrades sound better than all previous Bifrost config's as well as Bifrost + Uber.It appears that the Multibit and 4490 upgrades eliminates the need for Uber, which is not too goo... | |
| Schiit Bifrost Multibit option Just to complicate matters there is also the Bifrost 4490 upgrade @ $100, which states...This DAC/Analog upgrade card betters the sonic and measured performance of all previous Bifrosts, including Uber. It incorporates the AKM AK4490 Verita® D/A c... | |
| REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect Mordante, I found that the correct speaker placement solved many of what I thought was poor room acoustics and made a significant improvement to system performance.Having said that, I did have a nasty echo that ran across the wall behind the speak... | |
| Upgrading - what amp to choose Sonicbeauty - I went to look at the Pathos the other day, only to find the line had been dropped by the store, so I have to find another retailer, but I'm still lookingI had a hybrid guitar amp, which I liked very much and am wondering if a simila... | |
| Upgrading - what amp to choose Thanks for all the suggestions...I have had my flirtation with tube and found I preferred many aspects of SS,like no tube repalcement :-)But I do not dispute the many tube qualities either.So, having said that, can anyone recommend a good tube-SS ... | |
| Upgrading - what amp to choose GH - being in Canada, that's another $$$OUCH! - I was eyeing the smaller model.Mapman - it's on my list - getting out to hear one next week.How do you find the image?What I'm looking for is the punch and clarity of the NAIM with the finesse and im... | |
| Schiit Bifrost Multibit option Gh, I tried their USB upgrade, only to discover the v-link was far superior.I'm now looking at Musical Fidelity based on the quality of the v-linkI'm not impressed with their upgradesBtw, I also believe Gearoge's tongue was firmly planted in his c... | |
| Schiit Bifrost Multibit option George - my Bifrost is superb as-is, but it did require some tweaks.Having said that - it doesn't hurt to push that envelop :-) | |

| REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect Mordante - I just spent some time looking up your components (very nice indeed) and I believe that they really warrant the zFLOW cables.Now it's not that the gZero6's woudn't sound good on your system - it's just that the zFLOWs will provide a sig... | |
| Upgrading - what amp to choose Gh - thanks for the link -got an email off to them todayCheers | |
| Upgrading - what amp to choose Chayro - that would be the XS-2, which I am going to audition next. The dealer is very good, so I can also try it with the power supply, which I know makes a significant difference with NAIM ampsEven without the power supply - I'm hoping for a rev... | |
| REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect Mordante - what components and cables do you have?The 6 IC is very good indeed - probably the best "bang for the buck" and the gZero2 SC is a perfect match for it.I think the 10 is probably an IC KLEI could drop, because I think the 20 is a much b... |
