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...

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:

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:

If only I could see the whole THING on my screen at once ... It seems often the pictures that would be worthwhile in high pixel count, aren't, :disappointed: and those where it is of no value are. :rolling_eyes: just my POV, see sig P.S. loved Bosie's pics of the opera houses etc., so...

As you say the link refers to older high end Naim DACs, they used the expensive PCM1704 (multibit) DAC chip with a Naim DSP upsampling Filter, the Uniti Nova has the DSP but uses a PCM1792A "advanced segment" DAC (like my STX sound card :ksc75smile:) the Uniti Atom uses the lower spec PCM1791A...

You obviously need some High Fidelity Cables with "Magnetic Conduction" technology https://www.highfidelitycables.com/ :rolling_eyes: :smile::sweat_smile::laughing::joy:

Certainly feels like the Great (Greatest, Best Ever) Tribulation is starting :scream:

The RAAL SR1a are very low impedance, a load of 0.2 Ohms (mostly supplied by the cable). To get the necessary current from a normal amplifier it would need to be able to supply 100 W + into the 5.6 Ohm load of their Ribbon/Amp Interface . The amplifier Jason is doing is designed to supply the...

You can add a DAC HAT to the Pi, of course. To be an endpoint, for example see: https://roonlabs.com/partners/hifiberry.html google raspberry pi as roon endpoint for more

Hmmm, :thinking:

270ºF :thermometer: that's Fahrenheit isn't it? I remember my grandad :older_man: talking about it, do you have to use old temperature scales when it's about thermionic valve equipment? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

An interesting 5 minute video, pity it took 30 minutes :confounded:

Nah, :upside_down: ǝʇɐɐɐɯ ɐʎɐɹʇS, s,ʇI Are trying to say we are backward? :hushed: or what?

I was going to advise against reading the review, maybe treat it as a TLDR. When I looked up the reviewer I was saddened to learn he died earlier this year. https://www.newstimes.com/local/article/Body-recovered-from-Lake-Carmel-ID-d-as-Redding-14116078.php

It's 'Straya maaate :koala:

But they used to, they started it :confused: e.g. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/new-schiit-ragnarok-and-yggdrasil.667711/page-65#post-10137637

There is a Modi 3 and there is a Modi Multibit; there is no Modi 3 Multibit Sorry to be pedantic but reading "Modi 3 Multibit" makes my brain hurt :head_bandage:

Nope, it just means the maximum power will be 6dB less (~114dB) than the balanced output (~120dB)*. edit: I usually listen at an average of 60 - 80dB, *calculated SPLs above using Fiio's specs for power and innerfidelity sensitivity measurements for HD6XX

Too dull? There is this :sunglasses: but I thought you might like the purplish one. I do believe they are Paisley, see the dotted curves etc. :microscope:
