      Thats not what I meant by a Ground Loop Isolator, these are what I was talking about.   https://www.google.com/search?q=ground+loop+isolator&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjRpu3T_dXMAhULkx4KHf54B1gQ_AUICSgD&biw=1680&bih=955

    Have you considered trying a ground loop isolator to see if that resolves the issue?

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    It also depends on how good your other equipment is, and how good your ears are. I just got my gumby today and had a hard time discerning differences between it and my Bifrost Uber aside from the Uber being obviously brighter in sound tonality. For my $ and current gear I think the gumby was the...

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    Eagerly awaiting delivery of my GUMBY, supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I thought long and hard about getting a Yiggy but reading the post from Jason where he said that is what he uses at home was enough for me. And it's $1K cheaper...

    I've got a Valhalla 2, Asgard 2 and the Sennheiser HD650's. To me the 650's sound a lot better on the Valhalla 2 than the Asgard 2.   My $0.02

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

    I've gone down that road myself looking for a way to get Digital audio out of the HDMI connector and found devices similar to what you posted but haven't been sure if they'll work without a monitor / TV connected it it. Anyone have anything more than speculation if they'll work?

      The SE846's work well with my Asgard 2 and Valhalla 2 in low gain mode.

      Probably because of the impedance of the buds, the specs say the impedance is 9 ohms.

      They're worth it if you want earbuds. Nick @ Schiit said not to use them with the Valhalla 2, I've used them with an Asgard 2 for months now and have had no problems.

      Very impressive bass response out of such a tiny device. The mids and highs are on point, clear and precise without being screechy or fatiguing.  Sound quality is just like having a full set of high end cans on your head, except you don't... The only down side is there isn't much space to the...

      I only had 2 hours with it till it was time to go home (my setup lives at work).  I immediately noticed more and better bass with the Sennheiser HD-650's on the Valhalla 2 vs Asgard 2. So far I am thoroughly enjoying the pairing.    And despite the advice from Schiit tech Nick against...

      There are slightly different brightness levels between the tubes.

      I'm jealous, mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. What headphones are you using with it?

      If you go look http://schiit.com/products/bifrost with all the bells and whistles (Uber analog and USB) it's $519 USD   I feel like a pitch man - I swear I don't work for them - I am just a fan of their products.

      I can't answer that, since I got mine with the Uber Analog already in it.

      It's worth the $ if you don't have optical or digital audio out on your computer already and want to play music from a computer.

      I find someone getting a virus from installing drivers for the Bifrost very hard to believe. More than likely their Anti-Virus overreacted or misclassified the drivers.

      I currently have the Bifrost / Asgard 2 combo. I ordered the Valhalla 2 last week with a delivery ETA of this Thursday.   Btw - I use the USB input on the Bifrost with my MacBook Pro and it's been flawless.

    I've got a Bifrost with Uber Analog, I purchased after listening to a friends Magni/Modi setup. There is a difference, it's slight but the Bifrost has a better sound. My Bifrost sounds less muddy compared my buddies modi. That's not saying the Modi is muddy sounding by any means but to me there...
