| Soooo many choices. Dogitter what were you thinking of upgrading too? | |
| Soooo many choices. BTW that should have said 250-350 Mbytes - but I hope the later ref to 1 gig made that apparent.If it were me I'd do the pre-amp and amp upgrade before the DAC - get them settled first. You may find the DAC is not a good match to the pre-amp.What ... | |
| Soooo many choices. Dodggitter - currently , 764 is close to the top for consumer product - commercial may go higherFile size becomes a factor - 24/192 files can start around 250-350 Bytes an go up from there - I've seen some downloads over 1 gig.My plan is to stop a... | |
| Soooo many choices. Doggitter - ask yourself some simple questions.What sampling rates do you want to listen too- 16/44, 24/96, 24/192, 24/384, or better...- you get what you pay for and for the best you pay lotsDo you want to get up off your butt to change sources? ... | |
| Soooo many choices. One last point to consider - on some dacs not all inputs have the same Max sample rate. Very often one input will process a lower rate. | |
| Soooo many choices. Doggitter - the best advice I can give you is to...- first list your requirements in detail, then- compare the specs of the dacs you are considering- try to audition them - at home if possible- then make the decision.Schiit has a 15 day return pol... | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC Chayro - know what you mean - you must have read my review of the Raysonic SP120 :-) I still liked the sound - just fed up heating the house every time I listened to music - extremely happy with the Naim - after 2+ yearsI'm much more selective the... | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC Just using iTunes on my iMac that has BitPerfect loaded.Using a USB cable to bridge to Bifrost.No plans to use anything else - sound is amazing as is. | |
| Soooo many choices. FYI - I have no experience with "hi-fi streamers" - I first used an Apple TV2 and used it until I discovered its shortcomings. Ended up putting in cable to overcome those.Then fate dealt a blow and I ended up moving my iMac to perform streaming fu... | |
| Soooo many choices. If you are considering HD streaming you might want to rethink wireless.I had a terrible time with wireless streaming WAV files using Apple products - in the end I ran cable to the router. That was one of the reasons I looked at the stream magic 6.... | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC My apologies to Schiit and also any Gungnir owners, since I didn't mean to "infer" that the only difference between the Bifrost and the Gungnir was the balanced outputs in my review above. Far from it!The Gungnir is a completely "balanced design",... | |
| looking for cable recommendations Jambalya - welcome to the VDH club :-)I've had my D352 on my system for many years and with each upgrade they still allow the improvements to be clearly heard.I have to wonder exactly how good the resolution on this cable is. Certainly my system d... | |
| Soooo many choices. One thing about the Gungnir - it doesn't just have balanced outputs - it is a completely balanced design - it's almost like having a bifrost for each channelAlthough I'm a fan of Cambridge Audio - I have their latest phono stage - after this exper... | |
| Soooo many choices. And - I didn't need balanced outputs | |
| Soooo many choices. Cost is always a factor, but since my first look at the Gungnir I noticed that the Bifrost had the Uber upgrade, which is the same audio stage as the Gungnir apparantly.Seemed like an opportunity to save $300 without loosing too much in performanc... |
