I am also into AMR gold. I found out that some of the cheap chinese AMR-copies sounds great. Better than the real thing actually. They sound natural. A friend of mine have tried the SR Blue and he prefered the AMR. The Blue are too much hi-fi.

Well I had to do it - otherwise would not be fair: Gumby vs Angstrom 200 using the Philips Cd 304 mk2 as source has a clear winner: Gumby! My Philips cd 304 mk2 has been modified with a new NOS-dac board. I dont like the sound of that NOS dac but the coax-spdif out is clearly very good. I still...

I have now inserted the Angstrom 200 in my main system. (Dynaudio Coumpound 4 and a very modified Stemfoort SF 60) Using Angstrom as a dac - hooked up to a modified Philips cd 304 MK2 player. I can now compare the Angstrom 200/Philips cd to my Schiit Gumby Gen. 5/SOtM-sMS 200. Not at all a fair...

I now - I´m kick-starting an old thread..... I just picked up an Angstrom 200/205 combo for just 300 dkr (25 USD). The Angstrom 200 have replaced a Cambridge DAC3 sitting between my Pioneer 304 mk2 cd-player and my amp (Myst TMA3 ) driving a pair of Evox speakers. I must say I´m shocked. The...

I have just bought a SOtM sMS-200. It is a BIG jump i SQ coming from a labtop. Compared the SOtM to the MicroRendu and they are very close. I also had the SOtM sMS 200 Ultra on loan. It is quite a bit better but not the extra 1.000 USD better.

Now I have been feeding the USB Gen. 5 with Music - on replay - for Four straight days and nights. It sounded better after 2-3 days and better still today. So it was a burn-in isue.

Thanks Puma Cat! That is probably the case. I tested again with my labtop and the same "harshness" is there but it is less pronounced. The Mrendu is very revealing. Will give the Gen. 5 some more time to burn in - and report back my findings :slight_smile:

Anyone using Sonore MicroRendu or SOtM sMS-200 in combination with Eitr/Gen. 5? I have just borrowed a MicroRendu from a friend - but it sounds awful. Well perhaps not awful - a lot has improved, but mids are suddenly very Cold and hard. Not so when I play directly from my labtop to my dac (a...

I am using foobar2000 so wouldn´t know about JRiver. I did have to use the alternative driver though. The Eitr/Gen 5 is a bit warmer sounding than the PUC2 and quite a bit more resolved (kind on the ears)

I have upgraded from Yellowtec PUC2 lite to Gen 5 (in my Gumby). The Gen 5 (Eitr) is a much better match in my system. The stereoimage is about the same as Yellowtec. But Yellowtec is not as resolved as Gen 5. The bass is more detailed, fast and deep on Gen 5. Sold my Yellowtec - which paid for...

Just installed a Gen 5 in my Gumby. It was quite easy. I absolutely LOVES the sound!!! It really transforms the Gumby from having a very detailed and neutral but quite sterile sound, to a much more natural and sweet sound - without losing any details. The bass is downright frightening good...

If Schiit has been paying any attention it must be a networkplayer.

Christmas comes early this year. I was about to pull the trigger on a SOtM sMS-200 mini network player. I guess I'll wait another week or two now. Maybe there is a new piece of Schiit that I must have.

What kind of PC is that? Who makes Them?

I use a regular Audio-optimized laptop with SSD. I rip with EAC (exact audio copy) - should be as good as AccurateRip. I use Yellowtec PUC2 lite powered by a 5v powerbank. Still Sonore made fun of me.....
