| Metner MA3 vs Playback Designs MPD-6 @arafiq " In 2003, Andreas joined Ed Meitner’s EMM Labs, where he designed digital audio products for both professionals and audiophiles. His work included revolutionary algorithms for sample rate conversion, D/A converters, and unique clock ma... | |
| MICHI 8 Amp(s) @ozzy The Leedh volume control on the Lumin is great. The only DAC I have owned where the volume control was not terrible. | |
| AXPONA 2024 @calvinj I heard the prototype of your Infigo amp years ago at the Los Angeles show. It was the highlight of that show for me. Congrats on making a production version of that prototype. | |
| Metner MA3 vs Playback Designs MPD-6 Never heard both but read somewhere that Ed Meitner worked for Andreas Koch (of PBD) back in the day. BTW - I have a Stream-IF streamer for sale. It works with the MPD-6 using SDPIF or PBD proprietary fibre optic Plink. | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better It is not a rename. They used some new parts on the MIL and found it sounded much better. It is a different DAC from the MIL. | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better How I discovered the Less Is More | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better That is interesting. I was considering the OKTO DAC8 before I got the LIM. The MIL was considered the weakest in the trifecta, of the OG, LIM, and MIL. Even though the MIL was the best measuring of the 3 and my LIM was the worst measuring. They g... | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better @harpo75 I have a Benchmark DAC3B and a Yggi+ LIM hooked up to a Benchmark LA4 preamp. This preamp is like a surgical instrument and does not add anything to the sound. What I am hearing is the DACs. The rest of the chain is a CODA #16 amp and the... | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better @gavin1977 I am not going to change the LIM since it works so nicely with the LRS+ speakers in my office. The goal is to buy a second DAC and what you described above is the sound signature that I think is missing with my Livingroom speaker when... | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots The LA4 is fully balanced and supports the AES48 XLR standard. You do not need to go to town with the XLR between the preamp and amp. I do use a consumer hi-end XLR from my sources to the LA4. That LTA M does sound interesting to me. I use 2 prea... | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better I get the more money gets you a better DAC point of view. However, I should preface that statement by saying the DAC I had before the LIM cost $15k and I think the $2.2k LIM sounds better. Both were slightly warm, so I think an apples-to-apples co... | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots I do not think I have used the Benchmark LA4 with the older ST and SST series. I used to own the ST and SST amps. Those amps were hot on top. The 4B3 does not seem that way. If the 4B3 is similar to the CODA #8, #16, Sanders Magtech, or the KRELL... | |
| Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1) @gavin1977 Thanks. I am not replacing my LIM. I use that in my office with my Magnepan LRS+ and RAAL CA-1a headphones, it sounds great on both slightly bright speakers. I am looking for a slightly less dark DAC for my other system. That is where ... | |
| Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1) @gavin1977 Singularity DAC will be interesting from Schitt when it is eventually formally announced. Can you provide a bit more details on the new DAC from Schitt you are referring to? I was listening to my Yggi+ LIM on my slightly brig... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player @jayctoy I have posted a lot about how good the D.Bob is. I have used it with the Benchmark DAC3B and the Schitt Yggi+ LIM DACs via the HDMI output from a $200 used Oppo. I got this unit after my amazing modded Sony SCD-1 died after 20+ years. Th... |
