How does the Pendant SE compare to the Mogwai?

Sold to me back in the day. PM.

BTW, have you tried the NOS mode yet? By holding the button about 3 seconds, and then release, and the indicator light will slowly beging to pulse bright/dark? What do you think of the NOS sound?

Yes, the pattern you described is the normal startup process. You're good!

The firmware upgrade process has a slightly different light flashing pattern than the routine startup pattern. For example, If I am not mistaken, all the lights flash on and off together at a certain point in the upgrade process. Are you leaving the upgrade MicroSD card inside the Bifrost?

Bought a MicroSD card and installed 8/11/22 firmware on my BF2 OG to get access to the NOS mode. I was skeptical I would like NOS mode, based preliminary impressions here, and my general skepticism of people's tendency to always see new/different as better. Also, I've been quite satisfied with...

Unfortunately Schiit's tech support seem to be unaware of this problem and solution despite it being documented on their own site: https://www.schiit.com/guides/usb-problems

Yes good news in post 2723 and 2724 I share what the problem and solution was: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-audio-bifrost-2.914084/post-16902421 Basically, the BF2's USB input needs a power boost from a plug-in USB hub. I bought this one for example: "SABRENT Multi-Port USB Type-C Hub...

I had the same issue when I changed headbands from the older style to the new style. I still havent gotten it to the point to clamp fully on my head. Your success gives me hope. Maybe I've been babying the band too much. My headphones are in storage now due to a move but I am excited to try...

Withdrawing sale. Item going into storage due to a move and wont be available for a while.

I had an hour or two to compare yesterday. All testing with done with Bifrost 2 as DAC, and Verite Closed headphones. I tried a few configurations: 1. DAC directly connected to each amp; vs. 2. DAC to Aries, and Aries pre-out to Pednant. I did not detect a difference in sq between these two...

I bought @duranxv 's Aries. First listening impressions are very positive. Very close to the sound stage height and width of the ZMF Pendant SE tube amp, which says a lot! Regarding changes for a mk2 version... 1. Ditto on the remote 2. I didnt think I would like the touch screen but I do 3...

I just picked up a Sparkos Aries SS headamp/preamp, which was said to be the recommended SS amp by Zach in the 2021 era. Question about variations of using Sparkos Aries and Pendant SE in the same chain: Today I tried Bifrost 2 DAC > RCA > Aries (as preamp) > RCA > Pendant SE, which was cool...

The Sparkos Aries amp was promptly shipped and arrived in excellent condition exactly as pictured. Thanks for a smooth transaction.

Sale is pending to freeryder05.
