yPing - did you audition the 10's in your system?I've auditioned the 10's in mine and they sound really nice, but they are a little pricey for my taste, so I've opted to stay with the 6's - for now :-)My hi-fi budget is limited and I have another ... 
Schiit USB Gen 2 Upgrade for Bifrost & Gungnir
Yesterday's comments were made after listening to the new USB upgrade after about 1 hour after powering the DAC up post installation - I really should have known better :-)Overnight, this upgrade has gone from being "a moderate success", to the be... 
Schiit USB Gen 2 Upgrade for Bifrost & Gungnir
I've just installed the board and it's playing as I type :-)Installation of the board was easy - undo all the visible screws and slide out the chassis- undo the two screws holding the USB board and lift vertically- insert the new board and replace...

Yping - I've only developed my "keen ear" in the last few years.That process required lots of listening to many varied tracks. Over that time I have singled out tracks that are excellent for discerning changes in the various "metrics"E.g....- bass... 
Schiit USB Gen 2 Upgrade for Bifrost & Gungnir
Since it does not appear that anyone has experienced this upgrade yet, I decided to take the plunge and purchase one for my Bifrost that has the older USB board.To be honest - I have not experienced anything bad with the existing USB board, but th...

Yping, also when KLEI comes out with the gZero12 - the gZero10 will no longer be the best and some may rush out and buy them :-) And before you ask - I am simply projecting forwards based on the fact that a few months ago the gZero6 was their best...

Lateboomer - I have silver cables also and the gZero6 are better - but the gZero10's are exceptional.I think I posted in an earlier post the even the gZero3 bettered some very expensive Silver XLR Interconnects.If the silver is used in the right p...
