    Schiit Ragnarok Amplifier

    Agreed on this... Phono is great, but for the love of audio, buy a separate dac.... Either of the Modi's or Bifrost are fantastic options.... I havent heard a Modius yet, but I've read it was good, plus 4 inputs...

    Schiit Ragnarok Amplifier

    This thread was started for Ragnarok 1 and continued on for Ragnarok 2. I believe any posts referencing transformer hum would have been for Rag 1. Originally Rag 2 had a EI transformer, but I believe Schiit took great care to encase that transformer and wrap it in metal case, to reduce noise...

    This thread is moving so damn fast I can't keep up unless I am in it every single day. I am 5 days and like 50 pages behind.. Can AI be used to provide a daily or weekly emailed update of this thread, complete with filters to cut out the things you find noisy? Like say you dont want to read...

    Late to the party here, but yeah, I have used all 6 of my schiit dacs that way. It works great. I am especially loving Taylor Swifts concert via Disney and Helldivers 2 fed through Yggy, Rag 2, Zu speakers, and my ZMFs... Works great. It really makes for a nice audio visual experience...

    Sounds like you found a new side hustle, great review, just talk about some of the music you listened too, and you will be better then 99 percent of reviewers out there.... You also used to sell stereo equipment, and have heard lots of different stuff. Steve G will be quaking in his pants...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Yeah I looked into those...HDMI extractors that DONT do analogue out, allow for 4k 120 hz passthrough/output, and offer coaxial are hard to come by for prices I'd pay, for non-Schiit products. I don't need HDMI audio extraction from a Schiit DDC, or a Schiit DDC at all.. But it sure would be...

    The "full" version had both clocks.

    I dont think all the gumby C series were missing parts. I believe my gumby is a C series and is unison. and it has both clocks in it. One of the gumby clocks was removed due to part availability about 4-5 months after I bought my gumby. Was Gen 5 USB a UAC1 card? Was the original modi Multibit...

    Thanks all, It seems that Fulla 2 also does UAC1, and I have one of those collecting dust, so that will help. Fulla 2 is better then the headphone output from my computer monitor, and Fulla plays well with my Focals. Now, the Fulla 2 doesn't help me incorporate PS5 output into the Schiit stack...

    To keep with the cat theme.... I feel like a little kitty stuck up in a tree, and hoping a nice fireman can come rescue me. ( @Jason Stoddard & Co ) I ordered a Play Station 5 the other day, and I am trying to figure out the best way to hook some Schiit up to it... Modern gaming consoles suck...

    With all of the Schiit being refined and released is anybody else wondering when we will see a Ragnarok 3 being rolled out? I am quite happy with my Rag 2, but I bet Jason has a long list of refinements and improvements that he could roll into a Ragnarok 3 if he desired. Chokes Continuity...

    + 1 for keeping the manuals in paper form. On one hand, I like seeing them when I open the box up, and its nice to refer back to them. I also have times where I purposefully set my phone elsewhere, stick it on dnd and forget it exists... On the other hand, I also have the manuals for all my...

    The 14 year Balvenie caribbean cask is in the same price range, and is quite tasty, but the 12 yo double oak just cant compete. IMO, at least. I have some of the Balvenie peat week expressions, and they are also quite nice, if you like peated scotch. I have two of the 17 year french oaks as...

    My favorite Balvenie. The right proof, the right age, non chill filtered, natural color, no sherry cask influence, and the price is still relatively affordable. My wife bought me a bottle for valentines day. was 82 bucks plus tax... it was 54 bucks at the same store 3 years ago.....(damn...
