    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    Late, but when I compared the A6 master to the A8 as streamer, there was a definite difference. The A6 was more forward and clinical, whereas the A8 was more laid back and musical.

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    my max is under my Pass lab 250 on a self below. It’s sitting on top of my cd transport and there is no noise at all. Even when i am using the transport there is no noise.

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    Interestingly, there is the new MAC EQ for sale on audiogon. In the comments the owner complains that the EQ interferes, with the sound from his tube pre. Says some of the tube magic is gone with it in his system. I have no such problem with my Loki max. Based on that it does not sound like the...

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    You are welcome. I wanted to love the 130 as it is built like a tank, and it does have a refined type of sound. I like a somewhat upfront sound stage and the 130 was back too far for me. The Eversolo A6 was much to forward for me. The eversolo master with LPS push the sound back a good notch...

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    software was very buggy. I did not want to use Roon as it would require monthly fee. I have enough of those with cable and other tv streaming. Plus I was not happy with the sound in my system. It just sounded bland and lifeless in my system. I tried to copy an external drive full of music to an...

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    I owned the Rose 13, the eversolo A6, a6 master, and now A8. I sold the Rose 130. Too laid back and too smooth sounding for my taste. Operation of the Rose 130 is very frustrating, especially having used the software for eversolo. I have not opened the box yet for my A8. so I cannot comment on...

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    Never thought I would use a EQ with my system. I love my Loki MAX. It's on standby most of the time, but when I need it, I love the way it tailors the sound without making things sound artificial

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    Interesting, because I get no audio unless I have my max on, which is connected between my dac and amp.

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    Unfortunately, you have to have the Loki on for audio to pass through. I have a yggy, so I can use the RCA jacks and bypass loki if need. No

    IMO, that would be James Jameson. IMO, one of the best if not the best bass player that ever lived.

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    I just used a black majic marker and drew lines where the notches are on the knobs. I can just wipe it off it need be.

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    The first Loki max I purchased, I heard a difference when the unit was disconnected from my system. I first thought it was my tired ears. I connected, and disconnected the unit several times for two days. Each time I could notice there was less dynamics especially bass. I returned the unit. I...

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    I Just tired my memory settings and it worked as advertised. I selected #2 button, then adjusted the controls the way I wanted. Held down the star button until the lights on the right blinked.

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    I seemingly has issues with my first Loki max, but the second one I purchased has no issues. This is a high end eq so there will be no dramatic change in sound when you make adjustment. If you have a highend system and you certainly do, I would think you would not want a lot of difference. I...

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    No, I seemed to have less bass and MORE congestion. However, I liked what the Loki could do. I purchased another LOKI max and this time I did not hear any change. Was it my ears or did I have a bad Loki? I don’t know, but I am happy with the new one.

    Schiit Loki Max Impressions

    I am VERY sad to report something similar. I really wanted to like the Loki Max. I purchased the Loki at the same time I bought a Pass INT 250. When I installed the Max, I did not initially detect any difference in sound. I happened to remove the Loki, and I detected a change in sound. There...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Well….I was mulling around weather to buy the Tyr or something else. It was going to cost me a bit of cash, since I would need a preamp and additional cables. I did get the extra cables which were hard to fine. I use Harmonic tech all through my system. Was difficult to find some balanced ones...

    it was said in another forum, that possibly the the transformers need tightening. The 4 screws that hold the laminate together might not be tight enough?. I would have tried that first.

    Thanks for the wonderful insight. What preamp are you using? If I go with the Tyr I will need to purchase one as well.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Thanks for the insight. Hard to find much information on the sound of the TYR. I am still on the fence and the mid bass hump thing is scaring me since I am in a small room. I am sure I will need a Loki to tame that bass down. Do you notice any hum from the Tyr, even in standby mode? This issue...

    Did vocals sound recessed as well?

    Does the Tyr ADD bass? Is the bass over powering?
