Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

This is what I am talking about. Also, Schiit needs to find some company in Indonesia or Asia to make some balanced cables cheaply, cause every time I try to find a balanced cable for my HD58X its like $40-50 for the cheapest one... it's insane. That is almost half the cost of the headphones... no...

Shut yo mouth!

Remember, the cost of the cable is not just materials, but also labor. Not sure what your hourly rate would be, but I would much rather pay for a quality cable made in the USA than a cheap cable made by children.

Hi fellas does it make sense to buy anything else besides the Topping D90 dac? I know it's on the pricey side, but it feels like an end game DAC for time being? I am looking at a new DAC that I want to use with a power amp for my 2 channel audio setup. My other option is to sell the power amp and buy another integrated amplifier - like the anthem STR.

I would much rather have nearly anything else. If you want end-game you are not going to find it from Topping.

aigh, you might be right, thank you....I am checking some reviews by other users here.
No problem of course.
You want to know something about cats, woodworking, mayonaise, bbq, underwear, false teeth etc. this is the place to be.

Nah...need a balanced amp at $199...The Magnius! :ksc75smile:
This is what I am talking about... (Snip)

Yeah...was going to buy a balanced amp and then figure out the dac later...gave it some thought and bought a Modius...banking on a "Magnius" sooner than later 😉

In the meantime, will try out the Unison USB!

Any comparisons of Bifrost 2 MB DAC vs Gungnir MB DAC?
(sorry if I have missed these)

A US company could buy the replacement HD6** series cable from Sennheiser directly and terminate it with an XLR4 probably sell it around $35 if they had a good technician. It's quite a good cable really.
