Just wanted to chime in about the sale. I'm kinda on the fence about buying and wasn’t sure how long this would last. They usually only do 24 hours for CIEM sales. I just emailed CFA and the sale is active until Sunday.

Has anyone used this with an Andromeda or Solaris? I'm curious if there's any hiss.

Has anyone tried Roon on one of these yet?

Does anyone happen to know if the PayPal Credit, 6 month, no interest offer is available when ordering from Schiit? I'd like to pick up a few things soon.

  Pretty sure Mike has said he owns Quad ESL speakers.

Just because someone is interested in listening to music in a 2-channel setup does not automatically mean they need or want a larger HT setup.   And to blow your mind even more, I've also seen quite a few people with 2-channel HTs. Plug an Oppo into Freya and you'd have a cool little system.

Not really sure that'll work. You'd need something that outputs 12v DC to trigger the strip on.   Edit: Here's a Furman sequencer I found earlier. It's probably the best solution I've found so far.   https://www.amazon.com/Furman-M-8S-Power-Sequencer-Outlets/dp/B00KGI7BY4

  I'm not convinced. Have you been to a Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Costco, Or Sam's Club lately? The number of soundbars I see vastly outnumber 5.1 setups. A soundbar wouldn't preclude the addition of a 2-channel setup.    The only reason I wanted triggers was because I physically can't reach a...

Jason,   Will Freya have a programmed self-check and start up sequence similar to Ragnarok? At the moment I'm using a wifi power switch for my Rag and I'm hoping something similar will work with Freya.

And tube life isn't infinite. 

Heh. Sarcasm?   I know that's the case for everything else, but I believe Jason has said that's not that practical for 2-channel equipment.

Anyone know if there are power triggers on Freya and Vidar? I don't see any power buttons on the amps.

Oh wow. Longer than I expected, then. Thanks for the heads up. 

Has anyone done a Gumby upgrade recently? I'm, like, 8th or something in the queue and am wondering how long I may have to wait.

Not to be "that guy" but I really do hope that the remote for the 2 channel stuff has an on/off function. It's my biggest gripe with gear from some of the smaller brands. I'm currently using a WeMo wifi switch on my Ragnarok and it's not the greatest experience.

Looks like he's doing alright:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/766347/schiit-yggdrasil-impressions-thread/2325#post_12544514

I would guess yes, but I'm not sure.   Also, the website is pretty outdated. Frank's profile has more up-to-date info and it's best to PM him for the final word.

It's the color of the outer sleeve. The translucent black is like a smokey grey color. You can probably find an example in the pictures in this thread.

The RS100 is just fancy streaming speaker. It's not meant for stereo setups and doesn't have balanced inputs.

Yeah, I always knew that an upgraded phono stage was probably going to be necessary. I'm guessing I'm going to need 65-70db of gain. Adding a SUT is probably a good mid-term solution; thanks for the suggestion.

  Nine Inch Nails recently released an album with 2 mixes. One was "for audiophiles" while the other was for portable devices. In reality there was very little difference between the two. 

It's an Ortofon Quintet Black, which, from what I'm reading, has an output voltage of 0.3mv.

Sad day. I just upgraded to a moving coil phono cartridge and I think my Mani isn't supplying enough gain. I have to crank my Ragnarok to 3 o'clock to get a decent loudness.   So count me in if Mani Uber ever happens.

Berklee and Full Sail are fairly popular schools that offer online audio production certificates and/or degrees.   But I do agree that the MCC program might be worth checking out. I have a wheelchair-bound friend who took a few of the audio production classes there. One of the teachers rigged...

Digital pre-amp, perhaps?
