I have to just agree with everything WKHanna said.  :)   Kudos!

It was great meeting everyone and seeing some of the very impressive stuff everyone had as well as what Music to my Ear had in and on stock.  I really can't believe they have all those headphones/dacs/amps out for people to play with on a regular basis!   I have to say everyone there was some...

Hey Guys!   I have been talking with the Pittsburgh Audio Group (what we call ourselves) and I think we're going to have some people come to this as well.  I think WKHanna is on here, he'll be stopping down as well as 3 or 4 others (plus myself) to check the shop out and meet some people...

Brian Zolner is of Bricasti Design, his Bricasti M1 is $8,595....   Having heard it.... it's basically a DAC I would never feel the need to upgrade.  Which is why I'm saying if the Statement is close to that (or even in the realm) I'll save myself some money and get it and put the money...

Quote:   Wouldn't that be "the Schiit's going to hit the fan!?"  Just saying.   It was a BLAST hanging out with Brian over dinner, really nice guy and has some great ideas on DACs.  The M1 he makes is awesome.... but the price is at a level that I'm not quite ready to go to.  If the...

The Gungnir now has a good 50 hours on it, I'm leaving it run basically 24/7 these next couple days feeding it with every type of music one can find (I have over 155K songs to choose from) so I'm all over the place with Bill's Gungnir.   My favorite so far has been Nitin Sawhney, I have all...

From everything I've read the USB input doesn't sound as good as the SPDIF... so I'm guessing the USB isn't worth getting unless one needs it.  I think the MF V-Link 192 will be a nice upgrade once it arrives (in the mail now).  Can't wait for that to get here and try it out... though I'm...

Just found this out... pretty darn good deal from AudioAdvisor.com considering it was just $399!   Not sure if this is just a mess up...but they just sent it to me for $199!  Definitely makes that a worthwhile piece!!!   http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MFVL192   Maybe...

Okay... so my friend WKHANNA (BFF LMAO) just lent me his Gungnir for the next say 5 days or so... and here's my initial impressions with about an hour or two of going back and forth with it and my Cambridge Audio 840c....  ...

That'd be an awesome to do a shoot out like that!!!!   Unfortunately, I don't want to get the M51 if the Statement is going to be the same or better...  ;)   So I don't know if that'll happen...but if I come into some more money (still paying off the 802D2s)... then you know I'll be...

No, that'll give me more reason to wait for the statement... remember, I was thinking NAD M51.... as the final point for my DAC... So the Statement will be the way to go. If the Gungnir is heads above the 804c, then maybe I will think about it and sell it as soon as the Statement is...

Bill... Do you want to just bring the Gungnir over.... we can test it out on the 802D2s!!!   I can't wait to put it through the paces against the CA 840c.  :D

I think one you get the Win7 ASIO going, you're going to notice a HUGE difference (then maybe a little burn-in on top of that).   Every DAC I've listened to that didn't go through the right configuration and typically the use of the ASIO drivers (even with using ASIO4ALL), has been a huge...
