I can also say that Sundara is great with Jotunheim 2. With other amps at times I found the treble fatiguing. Something about Jot2 smooths that out while making the whole headphone better. Clear and fast bass, more engaging. While there are other headphones that do certain genres better, I go...

Could you expand upon this? I have the standard Mad Dogs (3.2) and was considering the upgrade to Pro. As someone who has experienced both, how could you describe the differences?

What are people's preferences for the rubber feet that Schiit includes with the small stack products? Using all 4 in corners, three as in the picture below, or something else entirely?

Thank you. Yeah, I don't own a DMM or a solder pump, and didn't want to mess it up. If I start making more than 1 cable every 6 months maybe I'll invest.

I wanted to ask here before I solder this incorrectly; does anyone have experience with this style? Which connection is right and which is left? Or you can use TRS nomenclature if you prefer.

As much as I love my Modi, I had been considering a Bifrost USB for a while, if only for greater versatility. Modi 2 Uber solves this. I am hoping for more trickle-down from Schiit. Magni 2 (Uber) is a good example of this as well. I don't need a gain switch or preamp output, but it is great to...

Interesting. I like it. It visually makes it look like they have more products. Based on the updated categories, I wonder if they will put Fulla in the USB Interfaces section or create a new category.

That is what I have seen, yes, but I thought the shield was there for shielding RF and such. There are plenty of braided cables around (Mogami, separated cat 5, etc) that don't seem to have a shield, just a wire inside a jacket. I was wondering what are the potential drawbacks/benefits to this...

Hey guys. I rarely post as I usually find that someone has already asked the same question. But this time likely due to the use of improper search terms I cannot find a good answer to my question.   I am looking to make a 3.5mm to 1/4" TRS cable for Mr. Speakers Mad Dogs. I sent a PM to this...

I'm intrigued by TheShow Newport tease. I have a few friends who recently moved out there and was thinking this would be a good opportunity to attend an audio show for the first time. But Jason, Alex, or whomever this concerns, I was just on TheShow's (mediocre) website and noticed that Schiit...

On the subject of the most recent chapter, I was planning on getting Magni/Modi when a certain Vali review appeared on this site. I decided on Vali instead. Ultimately, I was not entirely pleased and got a Magni later and prefer it. But I'm glad I tried both and it has helped me learn a lot...

Welcome to the forum!

I once did framing/drywall/insulation work with a "Ten Thumbs." I ended up having to redo most of his work, which in his opinion was "good enough."

I agree with this. I have wanted to start listening to my dad's vinyl collection for a while now and with some new Schiit and the U-Turn Orbit I may finally be able to get into decent sounding vinyl without breaking the bank. On the subject of applications and experience, this is something I...

Hello all, I was wondering if people have experience with the U-Turn Orbit Turntable. Specifically, cartridges. Could anyone please describe differences between the entry-level Audio-Technica cartridge and the AT95E? Also a comparison to the Grado Black1. I guess this isn't necessarily just for...

Hey guys, wanted to ask for an opinion. I received my Vali exactly a week ago, and have been very pleased with the overall sound concept, but with one flaw:   There is audible hiss coming from the right channel. I've tried different headphones, source, cables, etc. and have isolated the issue...

Question for Vali owners about low quality/low bit rate recordings. From Steve Guttenberg's Schiit Valhalla review: "The Valhalla's sound may be somewhat less clear than the solid-state Asgard's, but the tubes' sweetening effect makes for a more enjoyable experience with...

I've been reading this thread and considering getting Vali for some Mad Dogs. But I was in a local store recently and tried some Bowers & Wilkins P7. The store did not have any amplification, but the headphones showed reasonable potential. Can anyone comment on them paired with Vali?

Great to see a Mahler review for Vali. Definitely helps me with my decision. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone with Modi could comment on the PYST USB Schiit cable. I have a couple non-audiophile cables sitting around, and most audiophile grade USB cables seem to cost more than the $20 these guys are charging for this Schiit. Can anyone comment on perceived sound quality vs...

As someone who is new to head-fi, and has also read all 1085 posts in this thread, I agree with others on here that a new thread for Vali impressions would be excellent. It would certainly help others interested in the Vali in the future (this opinion is based off my interest and subsequent...

I'm with you there. Hopefully they'll have some in stock when I'm ready to buy after I reassess my finances post-holiday shopping.

Hey guys, I was not quite sure where to post this, but it is mostly unspecific to components and more of a cabling question. The computer forum looked too peripheral specific.   I'm creating a computer based headphone listening system with a USB DAC and headphone amp. There happens to be a...

Thanks for the quick replay, rubinstein.   Anyone else like to confirm?

Hello everyone. After months of perusing head-fi I have finally decided to join! Mostly because this question is the first that I have not easily been able to find an answer for.   The short question: I discovered an old pair of Yamaha YH-3 orthos that my dad used to use. These have introduced...
