Greetings fellow Schiit-heads.  I am enjoying my Asgard with the AKG K550s i picked up to pair with the amp, but have a quick question about volume.  Has anyone made use of the RCA attenuators to reduce the input power and make it easier to use a bit more of what the amp has to offer at more...

Thanks HFG528,   Although I know that the Pro-ject does not meet the SACD dream, it is of a size that fits well on or under my amp.  Unless there is such a thing as a portable SACD player, which I doubt exists, I will be held to CD only playback.   Watching what some of the better...

Searching about, I found that Jerry Raskin's the Needle Doctor carries the Pro-ject Box line, and sent them a note to see what they can do.   We shall see.  In the meantime, I may try to snag a vintage PCDP of a better sort than what I have.  Checking out the usual suspects like the Sony...

Hey! How are things in my home town of Minneapolis?   The TEAC unit looks great, but where can one find it in the US?   I have also tried to find the Pro-Ject CD Box, but no one seems to carry it.  I like the non-SE version.  You are listed in the trade; do you have a source for either...

Since I have had a chance to spend some time with the K550s, I thought an update may be in order.  In the intervening weeks I picked up a Schiit Asgard to pair with the AKGs, and have thoroughly enjoyed the combination.  This amp has taken a firm hold of these headphones in a way that running...

Thought a quick bump was in order.   After now spending time with my Asgard (a wonderful amp, by the way) I want to keep the hunt alive for suggestions and impressions of potential small sized CD players (SACD if exists) that I can pair with the Asgard.  I know that Pro-ject has its CD Box...

Greetings!   I will soon be in posession of a sparkling new Schiit Asgard amp for my bedside rig. I plan to use either my iPod Classic for a source, or a CD player.  I have a Discman to use in the interim, but my dream is to find a CD/SACD player that will complement the Asgard footprint. ...

Thanks for the reply.   I will give the direct connect a try.   But with the desire to eventually take advantage of a higher quality DAC than what is in the 'pod, what would be some other AMP/DAC combos that are worth seeking? Maverick? HifiMan? NuForce iDo?  I also see many variations...

Greetings!   I have been following the conversations about this headphone with great interest, as I selected these from among several other closed cans in their general price range.  After comparing the Senn HD380 Pro, Shure SRH840 and SRH 940 against the AKGs, I chose the K550 because of...

Thanks for the reply.   I did some comparative listening to the Senns and the Shures yesterday through my Marantz SA8260 CD/SACD player, itself purchased because of highly favorable reviews and recommendations.  The Shures were pulling ahead by a good margin as far as overall sound and...

Greetings!   I recently picked up a V-Can Mk I for late night listening and am curious what folks here have found to be a good match for this amp.  Because sound leakage is an issue, I need a closed back can.  My preference is for a neutral and accurate response across the audio band, but...

Tiny bump.  Anyone willing to provide some additional options to audition?  BeyerD? AudioTechnica?   Thanks!   TC

This sounds like a great amp to try tubes for the first time. has anyone been using Equation Audio RP-21s with it? How much change have you noticed? Thanks TC

I have the 'buds burning in on some pink noise since last night, and will let them toast until Friday evening to see if that smooths things out. Is there a reasonable source for double flange tips that work on the UE's? I'm trying to keep costs down on the running rig since the big bucks are...
