it is the people as much as the equipment that make it such a great time!!!!

what is the time schedule for the event? i prolly wont be free till later in the day..... : (

Thank you to all who took time & energy to organize & hold this event! we had a great time.   link to my post at HTG forum HERE

speculation aside, things i would love to see with schiit branding are a phono pre & ADC for archiving my vinyl.....

Many thanks for your reply, Smitty.   My apologies the temporary derailing. I am currently awaiting the arrival of the Mutec MC-12 USB for evaluation, BTW.

I do not know if this has been asked previously……if so, please forgive the redundancy…. …This USB Gen 3 module……. (when) can I get one for my Gungnir?   I have owned & thoroughly enjoyed my Gungnir, one of the first ones to be shipped, for some time. It gives my buddy’s NAD M51 a good run...

What a great event! Our gang, PiTAG (Pittsburgh Audio Group) had a wonderful time.   While we are not quite the Head-Fi aficionados like you guys, we love good music & always appreciate good gear. It never fails to amaze me how audiophiles from any genre of the hobby are always some of the...

Quote: Thanks, Solude!   From the Schiit web site: I heard about this fancy new upsampling stuff, where they take 16/44.1 and magically make it into 24/192. Does your DAC do that? Not just no but hell no. None of our DACs will ever do sample rate conversion. Our goal is to perfectly...

can someone vet this statement.......?   UP-sampling adds data that is not on the source....   OVER-sampling verifies the data is correct.......   Thanks..

Quote: Gungnir (& Biforst) are non-Up-Sampling. What is the differance? Depends on who you ask.......

Quote:     My bad.....I meant the 192. And it is only $200 now at Music Direct & Audio Advisor.

I just got my Gungnir back from Dan (PewterTA) who was using it while I was out of town. It has well over 200 hrs on it now. It is even more balanced, musical & just plain sweet at everything. Big revelation, though………. Dan also brought his brand new MF V-Link2. We compared it to the...

Quote: I have had the Bifrost since Feb, & the Gungnir for 3 weeks. I only use the Toslink output from my NAS with both Foobar & JRiver with ASIO2ALLv2. Never had Any issues.

Quote: Agreed. Same experiance here.

Quote:   Ha… So I take it the HE-6's are a tad bit on the power hungry side of the spectrum….???  

      Quote:       Quote:     Please do not ban us from Head-Fi....... Neither Dan or I are headphone aficionados. We come here cuz we appreciate the knowledge & no BS of the members, & cuz we are both impressed with the Schiit DACs. There is more discussion on...

I am sure we can arrange to have time for you to make the comparison. 

No, I ordered my unit without the USB module. That is why Dan is using the V-Link in his system.

Thanks Paradoxper (and all others who posted their observations).   I like the style you used for your report.   My unit is still burning in, so I will wait a while to update my findings. But I would like to add that the base is full, fleshed out, clean, crisp, fast, tight & V musical...

Just guessing........ But I do not think you will see HDMI inputs on any Schiit anytime soon...... Like the next century or so.......

I am not well informed with regards to the M51, but I really do not think using it as a bench mark is unfair.   Consider that it is packed with a bunch of features like volume control, a slew of extra channels & did not they have to absorb some licensing costs, too? What I am getting at is...

Ha! (again) Then just get the Nad & let us have an old fashion shoot out!  Because that is the referance point now that many of us want the answer to. Gungnir vs M51.

Ha! Dan, I do not think the 840 will hold a candle next to this schiit. Once we try it through your system, I do not think you will be be able to hold off for the Statemant!

I’m listening to an LP ripped @ 94k Vattensaga by Tingvall Trio Piano, bass and standard drum kit   I have heard this a few times both on my system & my friend’s who has B&W 802di’s.   The imaging, detail, micro-dynamics & range I hear now are V similar to what I heard on my...
