What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)
Why is there no love for Ethernet? In general. Seems like a perfect solution for digital data transfer. Isolated, CRC via FCS etc. No need to invent a wheel.- alpovs

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Regarding the Jot and THX AAA amps comparison going on here, I have an observation unrelated to sound. The Jot warms up quite noticeably when working, the THX AAA from the Drop stays cool like it's off.- alpovs

Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
I am talking about our ears. Who cares if the noise is in MHz or Ghz as long as we don't hear it. Cosmic radiation, neutrinos, all kinds of waves are passing through you right now. Do you care?- alpovs

That's an urban legend. It is technically correct but with proper impedance matching, i.e., 75 Ohm cable, reflections should not occur at all. If they do occur then one is doing something wrong and the cable length might help but a different proper cable would be better.- alpovs

I noticed that too and saw many posts stating the same over the years. Does anyone have an idea why is that?- alpovs

Schiit Eitr impression and USB-SPDIF converters discussion
My Eitr was like this. I sent it to Schiit, they did a firmware upgrade. Now it advertises it can only accept 16 and 24 bit streams, so this situation won't happen again. I had to pay only for shipping to them.- alpovs
