| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better I am into the OG with about 25 hours, and I must say that I am extremely happily with how it sounds. It is more detailed than the LIM so that was my main issue with my Livingroom system. However, it may also have a wider soundstage than the LIM. T... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Doug at CODA told me that bridging 2 S5.5's is not a good way to use them. I was wondering if you could use 2 bridged S5.5's instead of a CODA #16. The standard gremlins that apply to bridging a 2-channel stereo amp also applies to the S5.5. BTW ... | |
| Back to the DAC Mitch is from Vancouver area, and he remotely did genius level work on my room in California. We needed to fix my Thiel CS3.7 first. I could hear 1 issue, but he identified so many others. I tried to do the DSP myself after starting to read his b... | |
| Back to the DAC BTW - if one is interested in treatments without the treatments take a look at Mitch Barnetts offering for Convolution filters. Not sure if Aurrender supports it. Roon and JRiver support it. Digital Room Calibration Services, Convolver, Headphone... | |
| Back to the DAC I agree that that source is the most important. However, when it comes to DACs I also feel it is the least important. That is because for my money the laws of diminishing returns apply to DACs more than most components. I have a great local FM ... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers A speaker that is close to the Pendragons at that cost would be a Magnepan LRS+. | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp @lanx0003 The KRELL Duo 175XD was used on my Thiel CS3.7 and also my RAAL SR1a earphone using the older amp interface box. Interestingly, the SR1a drew more power out of the amp. I knew this because when I used the CODA #8 in place of the KRELL I ... | |
| Back to the DAC I see you have a CODA #8 and a CODA preamp. Well, I can help there since I owned the latest CODA #8 and the CODA 07x. I no longer have those 2 since I upgraded to the CODA #16 and the Holo Serene preamp. This is a lot better than the #8 and the 07... | |
| Back to the DAC I got my Schiit Yggi+ OG today and burning it in my office system. First with the Leafs-Bruins hockey game and now music. It likely needs a bit of time before it shines. However, it does sound rather good so far. I found this review today, and ... | |

| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong I am about to spend a small fortune on what some are saying are the best headphones in the world. The designer of the phones used the Benchmark AHB2 to design them. He is now become more of a tube or distortion fan in his sound reproduction gear,... | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp Class A is always going to run warm. Companies like KRELL and Westminster Labs say their amps are Class A and they run cool. The KRELL Duo 175XD that I owned ran cool and sounded like other Class A amps (maybe better). That was up to 175 watts... | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations Regarding the size of the room... the LRS+ requires a room about 10 x 10+. Their sound is optimized in about a 7’ equilateral triangle with the speakers about 2’ from the rear wall. And, because of the small size and light weight you can move the... | |
| Back to the DAC BTW - the reason I got the OG over the MIB that I was initially planning to get was that a guy at Schitt, who is a musician, spoke to me at length why he though the OG was the best DAC Schitt ever made, he hated the LIM. So, take that as another d... | |
| Back to the DAC I never said that last part on the Gungnir. My friend’s opinion on audio is like gold to me. The dude is a savant when it comes to audio. He came over to my place and heard the LIM with my big system, the Yamaha NS5000. It was not great with that... |
