I owned them both at the same time before also, but I want to do it again. 0_0 Your comparisons make me curious for the differences and whether my preference has changed over the years. I remember them being similar, exceedingly so, like comparing sunrise- brisk from the night air, refreshing...

  Excellent recommendation! I have heard many good things about Steely Dan. I am supposed to receive my Asgard 2 in three to five days! Very excited to demo all of this material.   I do love some Jazz! Wonderful addition to the collection. Some say it is the best recorded Jazz album of the...

Go check out the HD650, they're not all that tremendously different. It will give you a close approximation of the sound. :) I have owned both at the same time and found them to be more similar than different. It is like more like comparing gunpowder green tea to gyokuro green tea, not green tea...

I just got a wonderful 24bit/196k copy of The Dark Side of the Moon. I think that will do the trick! :D Thank you for the recommendation! Or should I emigrate to the lands of Valhalla and attempt to capture the Gods' hammer? It fits quite well with the Schiity theme! Very tempting... Has...

If you buy a pure DAC, you will need to have some form of amplifier to which you connect the line level outputs. A DAC alone can not be used with headphones, or is highly not advised. I recommend browsing the forums for some amp/DAC combination units if you're looking for a one box solution to...

My apologies! That sounds like the Schiitiest set of audiophile logos? :D HPiper, do you have all of your Schitty DACs connected to the Lyr, or do they feed individual rigs? I'm going crazy waiting for my Asgard 2 and Modi USB. It has been well over a year since owning any amplifier or DAC...

That sounds like the best set of audiophile legos you shall have! So many possibilities for connections. 0_0 The wallet cowers in fear, ever wondering when master will call upon him again!

That's the part I'm worried about! I haven't even received the Asgard 2 and Modi and I'm thinking about the Bifrost. 0_0 I just know deep down that the Asgard longs for it's fellow aluminum brethren, rather than the steel plebian Modi!

That is a great philosophy to live by. If you were curious about how the bifrost would work with your system, Schiit does have the 15-day return policy for your own curiosity. I have a Modi and Asgard 2 on the way right now, and I know it will sound phenomenal. The possibility of the bifrost's...

Oh you!

Lagavilin 16 is usually my go-to, but I feel as if their cask variance has been a bit much recently. I have been enjoying Laphroaig Quarter Cask very much. I recommend trying some if you're able. I think it is around eight years old, but it tastes much more refined!

I missed the Minneapolis meet, but I'll try to make the next one. I'm up near Duluth! :D

Just received my HD600 yesterday. This is the second time I've owned this set of cans and I know why I missed them so much! Currently without an amp or DAC and these are so lovely. :) Discovering so much new music and revisiting old favourites! There isn't a thing these do wrong.   And the...

Whoopsies, I guess I have some HD600s on the way now!:D Thank you for the heads up on the promotion!

With my coiled cable I get the same sound that you are discussing, but with the short cable I have normal sound. It could be an issue with the cable itself having a bad connection inside it.

I agree that the E11 sounds very good. The amplifier section in it is very similar sounding to my iBasso D6 with my preferred opamps. The only difference between the two is that mine has a DAC and the E11 doesn't. The bass boost on the E11 could satisfy your bass cravings, too, though it is a...

:P I was figuring you would approve. I have examined the comfort mod. They are comfortable stock, for me, but I may try out the mod for fun. I'm basically flipping a coin on whether or not to do it. Quote:  

My portable basshead rig. :P     Quote:  

That is delicious.   Quote:  

  :D Enjoy! You'll need to post another screenshot of your desktop with this now. :P

  I change my wallpaper and orientation very frequently, so here is another one. :P

I found this completely by accident. Oh wow.   http://youtu.be/jAeOSxnRzLY

The DT 990 requires a good bit of synergy in the amping and DAC department. Once you get it right, though. Wow. The cans are amazing. The E7/E9 combo would probably be good for at home. The DT990 are doable out of an iPhone or MP3 player, but a bit of amping helps. Synergy is the most important...

I have the iBasso D6 and the Pro 900 and I am liking it quite a lot. I prefer it over the NuForce HDP. The synergy is very good.
