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

    I had an Allo DigiOne a number of years ago. I think I still have it but I bought a DigiOne Signature a few years ago and have been listening to it. The Signature sounded a little less fuzzy compared to the DigiOne. I had always used the BNC output of the Signature, or just used USB from the...

    Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions

    I think this is actually the seal of the headphone earcup around your ear being disturbed as you move. I noticed the same thing and the headphone wasn't powered on. A slightly disturbed seal with give the same airy sound as the external mic. I was able to get rid of it by adjusting the headband.

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    Are you trying to make a permanent fix for speaker room issues, or trying to fix up various recordings that are too hot sounding? If you are trying to fix up individual recordings, something like the Lokius is very effective because it is easy to dial in a quick fix with its wide band controls...

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    I don't think digital/analog EQ has to be an either/or thing. A long time ago I wrote a software package called DRC Designer to facilitate easier configuration of the Open Source digital room correction software. At the time, I fell in love with digital room correction because even good...

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    Interesting. I've measured my Lokius in both bypass mode and engaged but flat. Both modes measure extremely well. The only thing I can hear between bypass and completely out of the system, is that bypass acts similar to a buffer. It focuses the sound a little bit, but doesn't change the tonal...

    Comment by 'aljordan' on listing 'Schiit Loki Max'

    Hi, is this still for sale?

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    I am curious to know if anyone here is using the Loki Max in a fully balanced path. Running XLR in and XLR out when on bypass, or not bypassed but flat, can you discern any change from the conversion happening inside the unit compared to completely bypassing the unit altogether? Thanks in advance!

    I've already upgraded the firmware in my old 2013 Master 7. Can the Accusilicon XOs be installed in the old M7? Thanks

    Will these new oscillators work with the standard Master 7 (2013 version but with the updated firmware from a year or two ago). Thanks, Alan

    New Audio-gd R-7, R-7HE R-8, R-27, R-27HE, R-28 Flagship Resistor Ladder DACs and DAC/amps

    Hi Brent, If you think your current setup sounds amazing, and if you have to come up with funds to make improvements, why not just enjoy your current setup as is until you can identify something particular you would like to improve upon. You are already happy with the sound, and your wife will...

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    Not through speakers. I run room correction, but it doesn't work that well!

    That graph is .1 dB increments. so it rolls off about 0.3 dB.

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    Here is a screen grab of the measurements I was referring to. The top orange line is the Master 7, the middle blue line is the Schitt Yggy via its RCA outputs. The bottom line is the Prism Sound Orpheus. The Yggy and the Master 7 were tested using the SPDIF (RCA style) input. Master 7 is my...

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    Did you keep the measurement mic in the exact same position when you compared the measurements from both DACs? I could see in room response being down quite a bit if the measurement was taken at the listening position.
