CanJam @ RMAF 2015, Oct. 2-4, 2015 -- The Exhibitors!
Unless my job says no at the last minute, I will be at the Hampton Inn Denver Tech Center. As for an organized dinner, why not? I would be up for it.- Greystaff

Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones
I know I may be getting myself into trouble here, but here goes... Ever since I have been on Head-Fi, I have read people saying that the Lyr (the original) does not pair well with the HE-6. I thus never truly considered purchasing one as that was my most powerful amp. With the discontinuation of...- Greystaff

8/22/15 Denver CO meet impressions
As has been said about a million times, thank you to Asr for setting the meet up. It was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed hearing all the equipment that was brought. The Dharma was probably my favorite headphone. They sounded very detailed, somewhat like my HD800s, yet sounded to me a bit more...- Greystaff

2015 Denver CO Summer Meet #2 (8/22)
I might be able to go. Right now, it is looking possible for August 22nd, but that the only date I can go of those listed. Even then, it depends on how things work out here. What I would like to hear: Mr Speakers Ether Hifiman HE10000 Hifiman HE6 What I can bring: HD800 HD700 HD650...- Greystaff

As has been said before, a HUGE thanks to Asr for setting this up and making it as enjoyable as it was. The location was great. I really enjoyed listening to everyone's setups and talking with other members. I truly have a hard time getting myself to talk to others, and everyone made it very... -

2015 Denver CO summer meet 6/27
No problem. I'll bring both. Maybe I'll get a chance to hear them off a balanced amp. I have never listened to them other than SE, even when I went to CanJam. It will be interesting to see how different they sound on another amp.- Greystaff

2015 Denver CO summer meet 6/27
I will be coming. I can bring two setups, if people want. I have an Yggdrasil paired with a Lyr and Magni 2 Uber. I will also have a Bifrost with a Vali. For headphones, I have an HD800, HD700 and HD650. The HD650 has a Norne Draug 2 cable, while the others have the stock cable. I also can bring...- Greystaff

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
After looking at the kernel.log, this is the only section that seems to indicate anything about the failure. Does this give you any ideas? It seems directly tied in with my USB card, which I might check to see who makes it tomorrow. Right now, I need to go to sleep and get up early tomorrow. ...- Greystaff

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
Okay, replying to my own post. I got curious to see what would fix it or not, so I tried the Wyrd. To my surprise, that DOES seem to fix it. The computer could be put to sleep and taken out of sleep without a problem. Then I moved the Yggdrasil to one of the built-in ports on my computer. Again...- Greystaff

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
I am one of those reporting issues with this. I think it is a hardware issue as it indicates a memory problem when I try to wake it from sleep. It works fine until I put the Mac Pro to sleep. As soon as I push the power button to wake it, however, the computer acts like it is coming up, but the...- Greystaff

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
Wow. Let's try not to make this a PC vs Mac debate. Yes, I truly admit this is a Mac issue. I could probably find something wrong with a PC just as easily. No computer is perfect. You just learn what is wrong with a particular system and find something else to make it work. Anyhow, it probably...- Greystaff

New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil
So far, I am really enjoying my new Yggy. Moving up from a Modi 2, the sound is much more defined and controlled. Still only have had it on for about nine hours, so we will see how things change over the next week. One issue to report, however. I have mine connected to a 2009 Mac Pro and was...- Greystaff

2013 CanJam @ RMAF (Oct. 11-13, 2013): One of the world's finest headphone audio shows!
I'm going. First meet of any kind. Excited to hear all the gear and maybe meet some of those who have helped me decide upon the gear that I have. Looking forward to it! Also kind of nervous as I really tend not to be that sociable. We'll see what happens!- Greystaff

Modi + Bifrost Using USB = PROBLEMS
I think you are quite correct on the confusion being caused. It would work fine as long as I did not try to reboot the computer or put it to sleep. If I did either of those, it seemed to cause kernel panics. The odd part was the fact that indication I was receiving dealt with a memory issue. Not...- Greystaff

Modi + Bifrost Using USB = PROBLEMS
I have both an uber Bifrost / Lyr combo and a Modi/Magni combo attached to my computer. Up until this week, the Bifrost was connected via optical to my Mac Pro. I realized however that I kind of like the USB sound a bit better. I did not want to keep swapping the cable, so I bought another USB...- Greystaff

Are there any negatives to Planar Magnetics such as the HE500?
They are heavy? That is one of the problems people constantly talk about. Even though, to be honest, I find it does not bug me much. I honestly find my HE-500 about just as comfortable as my HD650's. Maybe I am crazy, though!- Greystaff

Quote: Yeah. Wish I had gone that route. I thought buying directly from Head Direct was a good bet. So far, I would pretty much say it has been a less than stellar experience. First of all, they apparently do not know what they have in stock. I ended up getting an email that night at 1am...- Greystaff

Schiit Owners Unite
Posted a question on that in the other Magni thread.. Now a bit confused, honestly. I still really like my setup and would really miss it if I had to send it off. The HD650 does take more power than my Inspirations, but not enough to really let me stop using the iTunes volume to get everything...- Greystaff
