Alright, A little background: My setup: Schiit Bifrost 2/64 --balanced--> Lokius --balanced--> OG Schiit Jotunheim amp. The Jotunheim serves both as a headphone amp and as a pre-amp via single ended cabling to my Parasound 275 v.2 and SVS SB12-NSD sub. I live in the northeast, and during...

Here's the problem. The XLR cables I have interfere with my monitor stand, meaning I can't push the damn thing back. Most "low profile" cables and 90 degree adapters I have seen poke out WAY further from the back of the connection than seems necessary. I need some that are truly low...

Hey Everyone, I own a first gen Schiit Jotunheim I use in my main desktop listening setup. I am considering switching to a different amp, and was considering sticking a DAC in this Jotunheim and repurposing it elsewhere. My question is, are the current DAC board Schiit sells made for the...

Hey Everyone, I've been pretty happy with my combo of my Sennheiser HD650's (Massdrop HD6xx version) and my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's for some time now. The HD650's get used when it's nice and quiet in my surroundings, and the DT770's come on when I need something closed backed to keep things...

Hey all, So, I bought my Modi Multibit before I bought my Jotunheim for use with a tube amp. In the end I didn't like the tube experience so I ordered the Jotunheim without a DAC module to use together with it. At the time I bough the Jotunheim, it only had a the standard DAC, and I kind of...

Hey all,   So I am currently very happy with my Modi Multibit DAC feeding my Jotunheim amp for my headphone use (Sennheiser HD650 and Beyer DT770 Pro), but it's time for me to retire my old ****ty logitech desktop speakers, and I am getting stuck, because it turns out I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...

Hey all,   After thinking/talking about getting a surround receiver for my TV for the better part of two decades, I'm finally getting around to it.   The budget is a little tight, so I can't go crazy.   My research thus far has come up with two contenders:   1.) Monoprice 10565 Premium...

Hey all,   I just picked up an Elevation Lab adhesive under desk hanger which seems to work pretty well.       Not sure what I'll do if/when I get a third set.  (Maybe another hanger?   How do you guys organize your headphones?

Does anyone believe this article has any merit? I - for one - would love Jason Stoddard's take on it.

Hey all,   I'm guessing there has to be at least a handful of other Linux users on here.   I'm a veteran Linux user, but I've never really dug into the audio side of things until recently.   I am currently on Linux Mint 18, with the following setup:   Creative X-Fi Titanium HD...

Hey all,   So, my fiance really liked the sound quality of my DAC/Amp/Headphone combo on my computer, so having suddenly created an audiophile I set her up with a nice little starter package of her own for her birthday, consisting of a Schiit Modi 2 Uber DAC, Schiit Asgard Amp and a 250 Ohm...

Hey all,   Been using my 80 ohm Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's for close to 5 years now, and they are just now starting to have some problems.  There is some sort of break or short in the cable resulting in the right speaker only functioning intermittently.   I figured I could have them recabled...

Hey all,   Could use some help with picking my next set of cans. BACKGROUND: So for the last two years ago, I have been pretty happy with my 80Ω Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's.   At first they seemed overly bright and a bit sibilant, but once burned it (I didn't do a real burn in, just...

Hi all,   I am the happy owner of a set of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's. (80Ohm version, in retrospect the 250Ohm probably would have been better, but you learn with time) I think they sound great, but lately I have had a little problem that bugs me.   I have been driving these out of the...

Hey all, I just picked up a pair of 80 ohm beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's. What an experience. By comparison my old Sony's sound like I have cotton balls in my ears when listening to them. I have some questions though. Firstly, these are a bit bassy. I'm considering EQ:ing them (I know...

Hey all. I've been using these Sony mid 90's era low end semi-closed over-the-ear headphones now for almost 15 years. They were bought for my dad as a gift,back in the early to mid 90s some time, but he never used them and let me have them. As you can tell they have been...
