    Looking for a player that has a line out to my DAC, supports FLAC, and has either expandable media or Network Access.

    Hey guys,   I'm removing my PC from my setup. My Current setup was: PC>>Schiit Bifrost DAC>>Schiit Valhalla>>Headphoens. Now, I am looking for a method of playing my FLAC Files. I want it to have a true dedicated Line Out to either via Optical or Coaxial.   Thoughts?

    Looking to get my Boss some new headphones, similar to the iBud shape.

    Hey everyone,   My boss loves music. I bet he listens about 2/3 hours per day. Easy.   But, he uses his Apple Earbuds that came with his phone.   I LOVE my RE-0's, but I don't think he likes the style that actually goes into the ear.   So, what are some nice portable headphones...

    Optical vs Coaxial 2013

    I was also leaning towards Optical. Either way, I doubt I would hear a difference, but I figured as fast as technology changes, maybe one has risen over the other.

    Optical vs Coaxial 2013

    Hey guys,   I have been doing some research, and I can only seem to find some articles from a few years ago, nothing recent.   My Bifrost will be in tomorrow, and I'm not sure if I should use Optical vs Coaxial.   So, what does everyone prefer?   (Setup will be...

    Difference between Spotify vs CD vs FLAC Rips with Bifrost DAC?

    Hey guys, I have a quick question.   First, this is my setup:   Computer-->>Schiit Bifrost DAC-->>Schiit Valhalla-->>Beyer DT770 600 ohm / Denon AH-D2000   I guess my main question, is will I see a difference between high quality Spotify streaming vs FLAC Rips vs a CD?

    Could someone give me a technical answer as to why Multiple DACs are better then a single DAC?

    I understand more is generally better, but I'm looking at a new BluRay/SACD/CD/DVD etc player, and it has  FIVE Wolfson WM8740s... FIVE. Why would I want FIVE DACs??

    What CD/SACD Players should I be looking at for under $500 USD?

    Quote:   I would much rather have a new one. Two channel would be fine. I will only be listing with my headphones.     Quote: Ah, I had just assumed that most high end CD players had SACD capabilities. But in that case, yes, I would prefer a GOOD CD player over a decent...

    What CD/SACD Players should I be looking at for under $500 USD?

    I'm about to get into CD/SACDs. I've previously done all my listening off my Desktop PC>X-FI Titanium HD>Schiit Valhalla>DT880 600Ohm.   I was looking at the Azur 650C by Cambridge Audio. I'm not really partial to any brand. I would just need a dedicated CD player. So what brands should I be...

    Just started listing to Ludovico Einaudi. AMAZING.

    I am amazed how awesome the Divenire album is so far... I have never heard of him before. Found Divenire on my external hard drive in FLAC and was like "Whats this?"... And I've been listing since then. Super amazed....

    Do i need to upgrade from my good soundcard to an external DAC?

    No, i diddnt mean it like that.    Well, kinda :p   What i took from your reply was, that if it isnt any better, then i would be wasting my money  :)

    Decided to delve into Vinyl. Pick me an entry level turntable (+ a few questions)

    Yeah, I'm talking to a guy about a Rega Planar 2. Has it for 325. Says it has a RB250 Arm. Not sure what that means :o But yeah ill most likely get one of them, along with a VP130 Tube preamp to pair with my Valhalla

    Do i need to upgrade from my good soundcard to an external DAC?

    Yeah, sorry lol :p.    The thing is, no one around hear does music. Tennessee sucks :( If it isn't a four-wheel drive, its not cool :(   So I'm just going with it really. But once i got my first pair of entry level headphones, i was frickin hooked =)   So it really comes down to "I...

    Do i need to upgrade from my good soundcard to an external DAC?

    Humm. I like that answer... Idk, i kinda have OCD about things matching. But i agree with you. I found this site by accident, and started reading that there was actually a difference between a 30 dollar headphone and a 300 dollar headphone. So i started small, and built up (i only have like 1300...

    Decided to delve into Vinyl. Pick me an entry level turntable (+ a few questions)

    I've been reading the advantages of vinyl vs SACD/DVD-A and I've decided Vinyl is my next step. Since its Vinyl, i wont be using a DAC. But, can I use my Amp with any turntable with RCA outs, or do i have to have a special one?   With that being said, i would like to keep the price under or...

    Do i need to upgrade from my good soundcard to an external DAC?

    I currently have a Creative X-FI Titanium HD soundcard in my computer. I do all my listing from my PC. I use HQ FLAC rips (most from HDTracks). I have a Schiit Valhalla amp, and use my DT770 600Ohm headphones. I was planning on picking up Schiits new Bifrost DAC. But someone in another one of my...

    A few questions about Music quality (SACD/FLAC/CD)

    Alright. That pretty much answers my questions. So I don't guess I really know if i have a good copy of a song. It might of been ripped and up-sampled from a regular CD.   Hum.   So I guess the only real way to make sure i have a good copy of music is to get either SACDs/DVD-A/Vinyl/or...

    Looking at picking up a new set of cans for around 200-600(US) to pair with a tube amp.

    I actually wound up buying the DT770s about an hour ago. Got them shipped with 2day for 197 bucks from headroom. Felt that was pretty hard to pass up. The K702s had absolutely NO bass at all. None. I know i was told they had to break in for 100-300 hours, but i wouldn't risk passing the date...

    Looking at picking up a new set of cans for around 200-600(US) to pair with a tube amp.

    I have been using my entry Audio Technicia A700s, and loved them. I picked up a set of AKG K702, as was very very disappointed. (only had about 30 hours burn in) but I have decided I like closed cans more. I was looking at the Denon D2000 or D5000's really hard, but I was recently told to pick...
