From Furutech website "... NCF features a special crystalline material that has two ‘active’ properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared ..." I wonder how long takes before it runs out of negative charge ? (or do you...

Pretty sure the one tested in the link (I thought the wiring adaptor he used might have helped you) http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/HFN/ADC/USBrecording.html was a 1st Gen, 2nd Gen was better and current 3rd Gen better again and has the "air" setting. There are some 2nd Gen still available in my...

Fortunately Amazon in Australia is pretty rubbishy, I think some people put products on there using the idea that - Amazon is the best price - to try and sell stuff at inflated prices. I recently bought something from an Australian ebay store for $27, on Amazon people were trying to sell the...

Yet Jason himself used it only 10 days ago :open_mouth: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up.701900/page-3476#post-15251494 weeks after he asked people not to :disappointed: "Rggy" was never a thing, only 3 people have ever used the...

RAAL SR1a don't use a 1/4" headphone jack, so the Jotunheim R doesn't provide one.:confused:

I did tag Jason in my original post - re the facts, but maybe David Aldrich picked it up for Schiit instead ? :disappointed: Anyhow, the Schiit looks like a good option and maybe if you buy the SR1a and Jotunheim R together you will be able to save on the "Ribbon/Amp Interface" :fingers_crossed:

Did you see previous posts (?) https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up.701900/page-3497#post-15265306 and earlier ones like...

14.2 Amp at clippiing direct into 0.2 Ohms is 20 Watt. It doesn't say "is equivalent to"

From the link: "The prototype amp Schiit is working on for the RAAL-requisite SR1a Earfieled Headphone Monitor will include a DAC and is said to put out 1000 watts of power" :astonished: DIrect drive into the RAAL SR1a (including cable) would be more like 20 Watts, I reckon. :thinking: Perhaps...

Or, ... you can get these on special. https://trueaudiophile.com/takatsuki-300b-vacuum-tube-worlds-finest/ I'm sure @bcowen will have a box full :ksc75smile:

The linked Swissonic Converter AD 24/192 doesn't appear to have a USB output which would make it a poor Jil replacement for recording analog to PCM in a PC. A Focusrite scarlett 2i2 might be a much better bet (cheaper than a Jil and works as a DAC as well).

I think the PCB layout was OK, he just used Australian switches by mistake. :upside_down:
