I would add these other two: E. Grieg (piano works and some awesome songs), H.I.F. Biber, Couperin, Berlioz (for those megalomaniac moments), Gaspar Sanz,

Have to agree with this, Fritzreiner Scheherazade has to be one of my best image-everything sounding records... even on a humble Bifrost multibit with monitors; the storm with the ship, the passages on the palace... More like experiencing music than listening. best regards, Antonio Rivas ps. a...

I don't post too much, but since the talking about 2 way Schiit systems here is mine: Sensa Mini by Wizard Audio (not a fan of LS50's, Sensa's are locally built in Mexico with a very dense wood) Rotel RB1070 (modified, capacitance was tripled with Philips NOS and some other components changed...

Laberinto en la Guitarra - Ensamble Continuo, baroque on period instruments, it traces the origins of some popular music to flemish baroque a fun CD. Scheherazade with Fritz Reiner / CSO, with this one you can be alone but can clearly "see" all the orquesta first time this happened on my...

For Pohjola's Daughter there also this one by Colin Davis on Eloquence:   https://www.amazon.com/Sibelius-Karelia-Suite-Pohjolas-Daughter/dp/B0007MR1W6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492792579&sr=8-1&keywords=colin+davis+sibelius+eloquence   His Symphony cicle is also highly regarded

  Hi Selbi, the reason to get the modi standard would be having the ability to handle via the DAC up to 24/192, with uber you get more inputs and multibit gets you a different experience (in my view, totally worth it), what you choose depends on needs, satisfaction level, etc... For my work...

  I strongly concur with this, having used the Fulla 2 as DAC only I find it very competent, clearly not better than my Bifrost MB but Bifrost is 5x Fulla2. I think as a DAC only it should be close to the Magni (which I don't have). In my opinion it sounds better than the iphone 6 DAC. Fulla 2...

One of the silent ones talks a bit... (or a lot... sorry for the long post)   I've had the Fulla 2 for 3 - 4 weeks now, I use it with Shure SE535 which I got at the same time as the Fulla, Though I have AKG 701Q haven't had the chance/will to try them on the Fulla, as it is mostly used at work...

No way! So that's why it sounds so sublime on the Bimby!!! Saw that symphony played live once, so moving, maybe that was the tipping point for me in the quest of looking for music and how it gets reproduced. Though nothing is like a live performance, playing that cd is always an experience; a...

Another one here thankful of the multibit trickling down to the Bifrost, first sound for my 2 channel rig were the Polovtsian dances from Prince Igor (Borodin), just that little bit of that opera to hear what it could do with that chorus and the orchestra playing like no tomorrow... The GF was...

Hi! Congrats on your aquisition, I would be very interested in your opinions on how the MJ2 pairs with the Ethers (closed version would be even better...!) and what tubes you find fitting for this headphone (hope not only the expensive tubes are a match!). I'm interested in MJ2, and while I...

Also used a forwarder, you should understand that in case of warranty you would be sending them to massdrop  (or AKG USA?) and they would send them to you again via  the forwarder. Mine are from the last drop and I've had them for one week, I'm pleased with them, no issues and they sound fine...

At work setup using 770c with LO + Vali + AKG K553, clean sound with enough punch for my taste; time at the office can be enjoyable... regards,   Antonio Rivas

I'm having kind of the same issue... if you want anything above 48 kHz then you should be converting to .WAV I've tried flac and disregarding any compresion level it won't play anything above that. With wav files is kind of a hit or miss... some 24/96 play no problem and some skip, gurggle and...

For SAINT-SAËNS I have this one, will try to find the one by Munch in Living presence

Hello,   Thanks for the pointers and help jdog! My files come from Linn Records and are 24/196 flacs, It would be great if they were supported natively from the player; I have also some from ATMA records that have no issue, just clean and beautifull sound!  The Traders Little helper is...

Hi!   I recently got one of this, 770c last version; for the price it sounds great (better than the phone), only a couple of issues... I'm only using .wav and mp3 formats, converted from flac in jRiver. When using jRiver to transfer music it poped and made a loud static noise between songs; I...

  Fist post in this trhead but really enjoying the discusion and the recomendations, I have this one: In amazon:/Il-Cimento-DellArmonia-DellInventione-Op/dp/B00004T00M/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1387208685&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=il+cimento+dela+armonia+e+la+invencione (I can't post direct...

  First time posting in this thread, although I have been really enjoying the discusion and recomendations! I have this one...

Hi sceleratus, yes I do have some speakers but at present it's not just possible to use them (along with the full gear) so I'm building a HP system... trial periods are not really viable as I don't live in the USA, so I have to make some bets... Most of my music are good classical recordings, my...

Thanks all for your replys, I don't post a lot mainly because I mostly read trhough the threads, as a reference for any one else intrested in more opinions DAC vs. amp the A2 thread has also a lot of opinnions. I apreacite the frugal aproach, and also I can see why some people recomend DAc and...

Apreciate the input, maybe if I clarify a bit more of my situation it would help? I already have a good record/cd collection, also have a nice speaker setup with a decent amp (Marantz), SACD and I'm interested in some Channel Records DSD... Due to local circummstances I had to dismount the...

Which way to go...? Just finished reading the whole Schiit Thread... I have some AKG K712 HP (62 Ohms, 105dB SPL/V per their site), almost all of my mussic is classical from pre-barroque voice only to romantic composers with lots of dynamics and some contemporary stuff... Sometimes some indy...
