I'd also think about a better DAC. Nothing against the Bifrost, but it's got it's limitations. The Lyr can run with the big dogs with the right tubes, fed by the right upstream source and interconnects.

So I should worry about upgrading DAC instead of amp?  I can live with that...so cavalli can wait...hehhehhee

I believe that the justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men... The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenalin but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.

Love the Glen Gould quote, love his music, Do you have the Zenph reconstruction of his performance???

They're really nice! Just a cursory listen, but I like them. Cavernous bass, still a little etchy in the treble. Sound stage very wide, but not as deep. These are some very interesting tubes! :D

They made a very loud pop, when the circuit openned, best to keep the volume down until the relay opens.

Not HG magical, but very nice. I'm burning in for a few days, then let's see. We could have a nice addition to the family here. :gs1000smile:

YES! Fine quote! Love Glen Gould! On my system you can hear him humming along quite loudly on 'The Bach Goldberg Variations'. One of my favorites! Have you seen the PBS special about him? His chair - litterly falling apart - but wouldn't play without it. Genius! :basshead:

LOL, I wasn't serious, just spending my "pretend" $400-$500 "saved" from not buying those Lorenz's.  I'm probably done buying gear for a while.  I'd love to hear Schiit's new end game DAC (not out) and Ragnarok (in beta) in full balanced mode.  Maybe in a few years.  Hell, I haven't had my Stack o' Schiit long enough to justify not living with it for a while.  And let's not even venture into the Glass Menagerie

I've been reading about this end game DAC for a long time on the old thread. Should be intetesting. Did a faceoff of the fully burntin stock Lite 60 w/HGs vs the near sota APL on my main system. Really good, but still no match for the $6k APL. But for $650 a tremendous tubed DAC that uses the 6922's!

Now I'll do the Mods to the Lite 60. So we'll see if can match it!

Will the Ragnarok be tubed or ss?

  Ember can use ECC81, ECC82, ECC83. It will be another space for tube rolling.:)

I know, right, and I've read so often how well it drives the HE-500s.  I'd be curious to hear the HE-560s on it.  But I have a tube amp, and now all these nice pairs of tubes.  Hate to break up a pair, and not sure I want to keep buying tubes.  Thus, my interest in SS.  But I think I'll save my blankets and beads for the Ragnarok.  Then I have excuse for real speakers in The Lab

You could find Emotiva Mini-X as headphone amplifier thread on head-fi. It's good, cheap and easy solution.:)
