| Schiit Aegir-Burn in Period @grh1958 the Aegir can be run as mono blocks to get about 80 watts. That only works with XLR inputs into the Aegir, so your preamp needs XLR outs. The stereo Aegir only works with RCA. Schitt does have a 15-day home trial period. | |
| Schiit Aegir-Burn in Period Both my Schitt Yggi+ DACs took 1 month of heavy playing to settle. My Aegir, which is used as a headphone amp did not take much time. It runs hot so maybe that helps in the components settling faster. BTW - I put together a new headphone system 2... | |
| Optical Rendu into Iris DDC: Will it work? I spoke with Alvin at Denefrips about this a few years ago and he said it will work. I never bought the DDC from Denefrips. I use ROON RATT as my protocol so my volume options maybe different. I would look at setting the volume as FIXED on the ... | |

| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! James Thompson of Destination HiFi is who I bought my CODA gear from. I was hoping he would show up with the CODA System 150 amp that he was supposed to be the first dealer to get. Though that room looks small. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Queen of Rock 'n' Roll - Tina Turner. It is 4 hours of her music, and I am sad it is about to end. A great collection. | |
| Magnepan LRS plus & Atma-Sphere digital amps The LRS+ is not an easy speaker to drive. My GAN amps were the best Class D amps I tried on the LRS+. However, those GAN amps had varying degrees of success. I found the most powerful GAN amp I tried brought my LRS+ to life. That would be the Peac... | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? I was about to buy a used First Watt for my headphones. That was in the $2 - $3k range. I came across some positive reviews on the Schitt Aegir that said they were about 80% of the sonic goodness of the FIrst Watt amps. I tried it out for $800 new... | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION Assuming that you are referring to LEFT and RIGHT balance levels. I had the same issue with my Holo Serene preamp. I wanted it in my office where I sit off centre and really need balance to make it perfect. My Benchmark LA4 (now HPA4) preamp had t... | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? I compared the SX with the FrontRow on my Yamaha NS5000 speaker, CODA #16, and Benchmark LA4 preamp. I also used a Benchmark AHB2 amp in the evaluation of the cables. I also had WyWire Diamond and Platinum speaker cables. With the CODA #16 amp, t... | |

| Magnepan LRS plus & Atma-Sphere digital amps The Atmas-sphere Class D are GAN amps. I used 2 different GAN amps on m LRS+ and one was adequate, the PeachTree GAN400.The other is a better amp but underpowered for the LRS+, the PeachTree GAN1 (modded). The AGD and Atmas-sphere, are considere... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! My mistake. it looks like this is another company called CODA. Loudspeaker Systems for Conference Rooms & Large Stadiums (codaaudio.com) | |
| The Sound Signature of a Headphone Amp My Benchmark HPA4 is a headphone amp that will get out of the way. My Holo Serene is also similar. Holo Audio also sell a dedicated headphone amp. The 2 I mentioned are 2-channel preamps and headphone amps. I actually use a dedicated tube headpho... |
