The Amprex sound so sweet to me, I don't want to try anything else.  Simply exquisite.

 

The Amprex NOS USA are on their way.   Expensive, yes too.  I'm done ... for a while.

I made the offer earlier that I would loan a set of Amprex (Orange or BB's) to someone that has never tried different tubes.

Phototristan just snagged them.

If you been to the movies lately you know that tickets are $10 and popcorn $50.  Take a date and that covers the tubes.

Schiit has new amp and dac are out...the Price $99.

anybody has reviews for this babies?

I have had a Asgard and a Lyr...both fine amps...and worth the money, well built etc

But.... I won't be able to waste my money on all those tube thingies.  

Loving my Bifrost/Asgard.

The new DAC/Amp are cute.

I'm very happy with my Asgard/Bifrost/HD650 combo.  I feed the Bifrost from an Asus DG optical output.  I think it sounds great.  Some day I would like to try the digital coaxial output in to the Bifrost as I understand Schiit representatives claim that is the "best" quality of the three inputs (I have the Bifrost with USB as well).  Has anybody experimented with the different inputs and found any difference in sound?

I don't have any experience with other high/higher end amps/dacs, but I also have an Audioengine D1 which, for its size and price, impresses me.  I had a FiiO E17 that broke, was fixed (or was replaced by the retailer, they did not indicate which) and broke again when hooked up to speakers via L7 line out cable.  When it worked as a DAC/AMP, it seemed like a capable device. . .as a paperweight, it's quite capable but extremely expensive. 
 

I definitely want to to hear the HE-500 with the Asgard/Bifrost combo.

I use a Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus for my room based system.

I run USB2 clocking a Mac Mini at 192kHz  Amp is Anthem AVM20 and Thiel CS 1.2 speakers.

My headphone system is a Lyr and Bifrost with Toslink Optical to a MacBook Pro retinal

The MBP clocks the Bifrost at 92kHz  Headphones are HD-650

I brought the DacMagic to the headphone system and A/B'd 

DMP using USB2 against Bifrost with Toslink.

To my ears, on cans,  I preferred the Bifrost / optical.

The music was a mix of classical / rock / blues / acoustic 

Sample Rates between 44.1kHz to 192kHz  320 MP3, FLAC/AIFF, ALAC

Software was Amarra
