Great - many thanks for that !

One of my most used sections "News" - your official press releases - has vanished entirely. :( I check it to see if anything new had been released, during periods where I do not have time to read all the book chapters.

There is software available that will do that. For example, if you have Jriver Media Center, the DSP page has "Tempo & Pitch". I have not checked, but I am sure there is a free plugin for the foobar2000 free music player that will do the same thing. What Mike stated is the reason for The...

Just my opinion of course, but... I cannot even listen seriously to any other Bruckner symphonies than Haitink. His Concertgebouw recordings on Philips seem to be the only one that understand what Bruckner was writing. Especially in terms of rhythm. YMMV.

My own experience was yet cleaner sound, yet better imaging, and better bass quality. This from memory, since I was unwilling to put the Gen 2 board back into the Bifrost MB in order to go back and forth. :) And I use Windows instead of Mac. All reports from Schiit and others indicate that...

Here ya go

Exactly. Elsewhere on the web, people are being advised to get an Eitr instead of a Gen 5 Upgrade card "because it will work for all your DACs in the future". But either way, the output is no longer USB, so the USB is actually isolated. PS " Layman's " :) "lamens" sound like something that...

I had these Roger Sound Lab speakers they were ridiculously good for the $$ (not my picture). (Anyone ever visit "Slipped Disc Records" - run by Kevin, not far from RSL?)

I did my Gen 5 USB upgrade for Bimby myself. The Gen 5 card is crammed with parts, and is so much larger than the Gen 2 card that it is a non-rectangular shape that fits around various parts that are adjacent to the USB card. In other words, all those USB parts for Gen 5 barely fit into the...

The Schiit USB cables have a couple of advantages for use with Schiit DACs: 1 - They are made for Schiit by "Straight Wire". I did some research a number of years ago on cables, and found that audiophile cables that were only slightly more expensive than generic cables, performed 99+% as well...

@Baldr - I concur with other reviewers on various Forums on the web, that Gen 5 improves the bass quality of the Bimby (cleaner and less woolly, which makes it seem more solid). I would be interested if you happen to have a guess as to why the bass quality is improved?

Throwing this out there for any suggestions... I received my Gen 5 USB upgrade board and installed it without problems. But my Home Theater PC - which worked fine with Gen 2 USB with Wyrd - won't recognize it. The PC is still running Vista. Why? Because I have spend many many hours...

Understood.... but if I had a $ for every OT post in this thread, Yggdrasil would be mine !!

@Baldr - speaking of "...Long Strange Trip..." - be sure not to miss "Long Strange Trip" (on Amazon Video) - excellent !

The context was not "favorite", it was someone expressing a desire to start listening to classical music for the first time. So, lol - no Bartok or Schoenberg !
