Have had zero issues with the new chassis and LIM boards/MIB boards. The LIM boards were from the older chassis but I would be surprised if the firmware chip wasn’t swapped out when I did the chassis upgrade (to accommodate the new features). Hopefully I remain trouble free.

Probably not, unless you get to hear them back to back in the exact same chain 😎

Per my high level understanding- the multibit dac chips are the same but the differences are with the analog stages. A2 is supposed to improve the noise floor and maybe add a bit of refinement vs A1 which has more of the original “grit” of the original Yggy. I could be totally wrong so I’ll let...

I did, and I found it to be very much inline with my preferences. MIB feels less veiled overall. There was a shocking improvement in overall texture and resolution throughout from low to high frequencies. I did not lose as much magical LIM timbral expression as I was expecting. After a week or...

You’re welcome. I may put those switches up for sale since I haven’t used them in a while.

I had to open it to check: 330uf 25v Non-polar ANK

Looking forward to your feedback on this!

I just inquired about this a few days ago since I wanted to do the boards and chassis upgrade simultaneously. Alex responded and informed me that the MIB boards may be another month or two out (unfortunate, but, probably an indication that MIB Yggy’s are selling at a rate that exceeded Schiit’s...

Hmm my Edgerouter came with dc input. Let me check with Adrian. I actually own two. The one I modded myself for dc input and the one I bought from Adrian which had smps removed as well, with dc input. Do you mean you actually received the device and there is an AC input?

So this became a product because I asked Adrian to mod my router and he liked it A LOT in his reference system. Adrian owns Afterdark. Now, it is an actual product. I get zero financial gain from this stuff…. It’s just driven by pure excitement for the SQ impact. Mine was the first ER-4 with...

I even purchased a NIC to test it with (Intel i350 T2V2) which allowed me to remove the Etherregen from the network chain to test. From my DC4 powered/Ref10 clocked Edgerouter ER-4 directly to the broken in Intel i350 T2V2, the impact was nice but minimal. The owner agreed with my assessment. I...

Now is as appropriate of a time as ever! I actually performed this swap myself and found it worthwhile on the Netgear gs108: I swapped the cap right after the dc input to an AudioNote Kaisei and it made the sq more spacious and refined. I found it to be a bit flabby earlier on but that settled...

Okie dokie 👍 . We’re focused on sound quality here… I’ll continue the actual discussion at hand with a question for others who are positively contributing. Has anyone here had a chance to compare the SW-6 and SW-10? Also, a good friend of mine let me borrow his Muon Pro: This too...

Best for you to drop out. Also, it’s unfortunate that you cannot benefit from network enhancements. There are many objective forums/threads available where you can discuss your perspective with likeminded individuals. This picture posted above will be my canned response for anyone like you...

This is the disconnect. None of us are arguing whether the standards work or not. We accept that they work for data transport. We are discussing other factors outside of those standards that can impact sound quality. Yes, there is some overlap from time to time but those standards were not...
