So, in order to open the case, do you just take out the 4 screws on top, and remove the volume knob and the nut behind it?
Any chance of speeding european deliveries up a bit ?
The updated info on the schiit-europe product page is good news: shipping 24th September scheduled (!)
That's less than a week away from shipping, then allow a few more days on the road to get here before the end of the month. I'm really excited for this little piece of kit to arrive, yay!
The analog card is no longer on Schiit's website.
Mine just showed up today, so we'll see how the install goes.
Seems to me that the assumptions were mutual.It's interesting that you seem to think I couldn't afford any piece of audio gear I want, now. I don't need to wait to "figure it out". But thanks for the straight up assumption about me.
Enjoy your power conditioner.
I'm thinking of getting an Asgard 3 for work. Can anyone compare to the Jotunheim or Lyr 3? Maybe it's somewhere in between in tonality, soundstage, warmth etc?
What are you using for headphones and DAC?Got mine today. I've been using a PC sound card (Asus Xonar Essence STX) for years now. This little amp is legit. Not as bright, and the sound has a fuller body than what the sound card could provide. Love it.
What are you using for headphones and DAC?
Eventually you may want to upgrade the DAC card to one with Unison, and then the old DAC card is useless by itself. If you get a Mimby, and want to replace it with a Unison version (or any other DAC), you still have a useful DAC for other systems.
Or if you ever want to use coax or TOSLINK, a separate DAC is better, too.
But you'd need another outlet, a pair of RCA cables and more space, so I get the temptation to stick to a card.
It's not as certain as I thought it was, but Schiit is at least considering Unison for the cards, possibly without the transformer based isolation since that seems to be the big issue in terms of making it fit. Chances are that would still be an improvement over Gen 2.x.I'm a bit confused on this. Is Unison supposed to fit inside the Modi or Asgard card-sized modules? I though Gen5 and possibly Unison were too large and the Unison cards Mike was writing about were the upgrade cards for the older Bifrost, Gungnir, etc.
