I find the instructions on Audio-gd for NOS conversion quite confusing like -"Cut one resistor on top side, it had MCK mark close it". I can find the MCK marked resistor, what is the exactly meaning of cut the resistor on top side? Which side of resistor should I cut? What is the top side of a...

  Hi,   How did you set dsp like that? For - NOS, -90dB stopband, PLL Disabled, Dithering Disabled - You need to use 5 jumpers in total, for NOS it requires 2 jumper, -90dB stopband need 1 jumper, PLL & Dithering disabling requires 1 jumper for each. But Audio-Gd supplied me only 4 jumpers to...

will wait for the comparison (DAC-19 vs NOS-19), however I was not very confident after getting the detail instructions from Audio-gd about the process. Congratulation on successful conversion. Please take your time and write the impression/comparison about the sound signature of NOS-19.

  I believe it is not quite normal, the insulation or plastic buffer (from body/chassis) around the coax input is either missing or misplaced. You should send picture and confirm from the Schiit itself.

There is something happened, I am little embarrassed to admit. I use my DAC-19 with COAX input from Pioneer N-50, it is used mostly for speaker system. Initially I hated the stock settings (without any jumper i.e. 8x, PLL engaged & 130 DB sba), kind of stiff, unnatural sounding. Mid had kind of...

Bifrost Multibit have on board power supply where as Modi MB do not. So I can guess the reason of lot more electronics. Now we have to concentrate on analog side, are there significant extra components on Bimby compared to Modi MB? I guess it might have, as the SNR is 109 compared to 104 of Modi...

I wanted to be safe for sure, so never tried with USB as I guess I have to customize the PC to a far extent for making it dedicated to music only purpose and to dis-engage the PLL that is absolutely necessary. What I found (with own ear) till now PLL itself is source of noise generation to some...

I think you did the best thing by ordering the upgrade kit for NOS-19. With Spdif input at default setting (8x oversampling, without any jumper) it is very marginally better than my Pioneer N-50, also sound quite close to some other DS DACs I owned (Arcam, Rega, wolfson based FUN etc.... except...

Can anyone please confirm that, if those jumper settings have effects on all inputs (SPDIF & USB) or just only for the USB? Please en-light with your wisdom....

Hi,   I recently got my DAC-19 (10th). I am wondering if anyone can help me with the jumper settings. I know, Audio-gd website have posted about settings but not really clear. I have emailed to Mr. Kingwa. He seems to be busy to give an elaborate reply.   I am interested about two option -...

I am also eager to know comparison between Arcam irDAC and GMB or BMB. I had ds Gungnir, but now I am more satisfied with irDAC. So it will be interesting if anybody really compared irDAC with MB schiit (Gungnir or Bifrost).

"ZERO issues and perform flawlessly" your expectations are nothing especial, these are quite general terms upon which we buy any kind of product. I also expect Schiit must take care those issues at best possible way within that price bracket. But perfection is an elusive term, it just make us...

Come on! Is it really overpriced for such finish and package? Visit this link - http://www.tortugaaudio.com/product/ldrx-passive-preamp/ See the price tag, tell me what is your impression now? Also please search ebay for passive preamp, see the prices. Apparently the price of Sys seems to be...

I have been using my WM8741 based audio-gd fun with Windows XP for last 3 years and 1 year ago it was upgraded to USB-32. Their instruction in English is not quite easy to understand, but I found it quite easy to install and no problem with USB driver till now. But can't comment on Windows 7 or...

As you have installed the WM8805 module, so would you please test the COAX input with 24/192 & 24/96 Flac files? As I have reported before I am facing problem with COAX input with WM8805 installed when playing especially any 24/192  flac files. Noise is also there when playing 24/96 files but it...

I read the review of "petemac110" on Audio-Gd NFB-3(2014), I also have bought it with WM8805 and DIR9001. I can't agree any more what he have written. I love the sound very much and it is more resolving compared to Schiit Gungnir and Marantz NA7004 I owned. I also have Audio-Gd FUN version-A...

Though I think it is really late to reply your post as I was not in touch with forum, still I will share my experience. My Gungnir had same problem as yours, I wrote Jason about it and at first he indicated the cause might be due to Ground Loop. Later it was found due to a bad power transformer...

  Situation Update:   Here is the quote I got through email from Alex & Jason.   Alex: "We refunded you your return shipping costs."   Alex: "The unit was received in good condition.  The mainboard was replaced and it is currently burning in."   I asked Jason: "if you have sorted out...

Here is situation update:   As per mail from Jason,   "We tested several Gungnirs to see what the raw DC voltages are before the regulators, and all have 30V before the 24V regulator at 220V in--so, there's plenty of regulation still left even at 220V, which is how the product was designed. ...

What I wrote is based on my personal experience. Problem and solution both indicates Voltage Regulation problem. If you ask me about sound quality of Gungnir, after solving the humming problem it has made my rock music collection alive and enjoyable with it's transparent and high resolving sound...

  Hi, If you still have the Gungnir, my story might help you to trouble shoot the humming noise. I went crazy for the humming noise when I installed Gungnir as a replacement of "Audio-gd" DAC. With Audio-Gd there was no humming, but with Gungnir I experienced humming noise with random or...

All I am telling is about the sound what I think is most important factor for any audiophile. I found it to be harsh but as well as detailed. One have to take an interval at least once after 30 minutes because of the headache. There is no question that it is detailed but that does not...

Quote:   As far my experience concerns, it will not be real bit-perfect if you use coax of your dvd player to feed the Fun (or any other dac), so not the quality output you expecting. I have googled and researched the whole matter for quite some time as well as experienced it practically...
