    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    I don't think this is what's going on. My current best guess is that the sample rate indicated in the lower right is actually correct, but that my WASAPI (exclusive mode) API is somehow being confused by the Quboz app to set the wrong sample rate, and then sample rate converting. But that's...

    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    Serves me right for saying I've had no technical problems: playing Qobuz today on Win 10, I see that the app appears to be mislabeling the bit depth and sample rate of tracks (indicated on the bottom right). Oh well...

    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    I’m at the end of my 30 day trial. I’ve had no technical problems on Win 7, Win 10, Mac or ipad. The issue is the at times limited catalogue.

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

    Yes, best example is patent pools between large firms with no payments make. Patents only get used against other firms.

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    I'm about to send my Yggy in for the Analog 2 update. I'm not sure about doing to Gen 5 USB update as well since I use the AES / EBU input -- anyone know if that input is improved by the Gen 5 upgrade?

    Tidal Lossless Streaming

    Has anyone else had this problem: as of around 10 days now, Tidal updates to 2.2.1 or now 2.2.2, but then won't work. After the update I can't log into my account and use the app. I can revert to an earlier app version. But since there's no way to disable the auto-updates, if I log out or...

    Tidal Lossless Streaming

    This appears like it may have been a local connection problem. I rebooted the Verizon Optical Network Terminal (ONT) (which is not the router, I'd already tried that), no problems since then. No idea why the ONT is giving me trouble, but this is the 3rd or 4th time I've need to do this in the...

    Tidal Lossless Streaming

    I've been having very serious streaming freezes for the last few days. Now I'm having freezes on a Saturday morning, which is puzzling if it is a server capacity issue on Tidal's side. I've had less frequent freezes in the past, but this latest occurrence is more serious. It freezes during a...

    New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil

    I've been puzzled by this claim. Why would it be important to have a closed form solution? Isn't the filtering problem to recreate the best or at least a good estimate of the original waveform before encoding/sampling? Spitting back out the original samples is something different than that...

    New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil

    Very helpful: it's not the sine wave, it the high power sine wave that leads to debiasing.  And yes, I don't really care how the amp does on high powered sine inputs.

    New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil

    Not really a concern (yet), but I wasn't able to follow the reasoning about how overcurrent fault protection was starving the output stage of bias current when you feed Rag a sine wave (but not music).

    Schiit Ragnarok Amplifier

    My Rag get pretty hot, but on the bottom, not the top.  I can put my hand on the top and keep it there (and I'm pretty heat sensitive).  I'd not touch the bottom for more than a split second.  I have my Rag up off the Yggy, so it doesn't heat the Yggy too much.

    Tidal Lossless Streaming

    Most recent update, at least on Win 7, make the interface much faster.  Much less waiting.  Actually good.

    What's your exposure to Yggy/Rag/other amp?  Thanks!

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Yep, that sounds crazy. nothing you should put up with.  I was going to weight in before, but I didn't.  I had a HT Omega Claro+ soundcard a while back, but go rid of it, but not for this reason.  My memory is getting too vague...got replaced by Gungnir.
