Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
It seems like all bluetooth receivers on the market are <$200 with SE analogue outputs. If Schiit can make something with balanced output and with a price similar to Modius/Bifrost, I would definitely buy.- shapeshifter44

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
The use case for me is to allow my speakers play youtube videos. Use a long usb cable could be annoying. I bought the ifi bluetooth receiver dac but found the sound quality very bad as compared to using its digital output to my yggy.- shapeshifter44

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I just upgraded my Gumby to Yggy. Dont know if you guys had the same issue or not. Sometimes I can hear electrostatic noise (like a quick sudden bump) from my headphones with Yggy, though not often and very rare. I use exactly the same setup and location as my Gumby which never had this issue...- shapeshifter44

$500 is probably a bit cheap for a transport in my opinion. I would say above $1k.- shapeshifter44

Based on my past experience or feeling, a new Schitt product will be available on market 6 months after Jason says "it will be available very soon" or "waiting for the final piece" lol :D :D. Since there hasn't been any formal post yet, i guess at least another 1 year.- shapeshifter44

What CD transport do you guys use? I am not sure if I can wait for the Schiit one to come out. I was looking at Jays Audio CDT2-MK2. It is priced at $2,398 and I dont know if it is over-priced. For the Cambridge CXC transport, I have heard good things and bad things, so not sure if that would be...- shapeshifter44

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
@Jason Stoddard Hi Jason, I am planning to move from headphones to speakers. I was wondering if Aegir *2 (Mono, 8 ohms: 80W RMS) would be a good fit for Bowers & Wilkins 804 D3 which says "Recommended amplifier power: 50W - 200W into 8Ω on unclipped programme" in the info sheet. Or Vidar *2...- shapeshifter44

Same as you. Have thousands of CDs and do need a quality cd transport, a transport that can work perfectly with Schiit DACs.- shapeshifter44

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
The reason I want a CD transport is the same reason that Schiit is designing Sol: there are vinyl collectors and there are CD collectors. Schiit has produced Vidar, which shows their ambition into the home audio area. Then a turntable/CD transport will be a good companion. There are CD...- shapeshifter44

Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)
I use HD800S only and I listen to classical music only (symphony and piano). I found that I am very lazy about finding quality tubes (with reasonable price) for my WA22 currently. I don't want to spend much on tubes for WA22 because I think even with awesome tubes, WA22 still cannot be as good...- shapeshifter44

I know there are many threads talking about pairing with HD800/HD800S. Just wondering, in summary, how would you guys rank the V281, Woo WA22 and Woo WA5 pairing with HD800/800S. Thanks- shapeshifter44

Thanks so much. After I connect my amp directly to wall, the noise greatly reduced. I am using HD600 and I can barely hear noise in Low now but sometimes still can hear noise in High. Is that because HD600 is not suitable for High?- shapeshifter44
