I was simply agreeing with the thread starter that these other products have dedicated threads...no different than if someone posted on various Audio Note threads on various forums about Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, Shindo, etc..

I would have to agree with you. Roon and Bluesound are different product categories and unless they are being discussed after extensive direct comparisons, or even possibly, BRIEFLY in the context of comparing features and design, they should not be talked about here.

Update for potential Jil buyers. Successfully ripped two sides of an LP @24/192 on a Mac running Audacity. I will edit in Audacity and provide feedback on sonics as compared to a Korg MR-2. And, the quality of the USB cable and your input interconnects will make a big difference.

Update. I unchecked both the hardware and software play through and it seemed to fixed the problem. Too tired tonight but will try a needle drop tomorrow.:smile_phones:

I have tried about a dozen times to get a recording done but I keep getting diginoize, a sound like someone is fast forwarding through a CD...I am using a MAC running the current O/S, and Audacity....any help would be appreciated.

I just found some Schiit at my door. I love getting a box of Schiit.

hey you you schists. So called "reviewer" Herb Reichert schiits all over Schiit. It does not do MQA so it is yesterdays news: "Schiit's reference DAC would be my reference DAC—if only it had MQA and emptier empty spaces." "The Yggdrasil makes "Red Book" CDs sound a lot like MQA. But real MQA...

Thank you. My Jil is on the way....

Speaker? Specs? CA was using TADs and Focal, Both difficult loads.

It all has to do with the way the amp delivers current, and the speaker load. 99.9% chance if CA had used a stereo Vidar, he would have had no issues.

Again, it is not just about cable length, it has to do with the speaker load/amp interaction.

Bryston? A totally different amplifier design....

Only for Mono configuration..yes. you need an 8 ohm speaker, I am betting his were not, OR longer cables....I could be off the mark, I am not betting my life on it, but this is what I determined.

I am almost certain this might be user set up incompetence. It is all about speaker cable length and capacitance. In Mono mode, driving a 4Ohm load, I am guessing you need at least 15 feet. It seems the cables that cause the amp to shut down, in mono mode, were 8 foot pairs. How long was the...

Hi John: Thanks a bunch! No problems. I actually have not ordered the unit yet, I will today or tomorrow. I was just looking for feedback from someone about the process. Seems like it stress free. I am used to using stand alone ADC's with internal storage, and have not yet used Audacity for...

Has anyone here yet used a Jil with Audacity for any kind of archiving? Any all experiences MOST welcome

Sorry, I MEANT Audacity! Audirvana is only for playback.

Impressive. For recording in conjunction with a laptop and let's say Audirvana, really tough to beat. Impossible to beat when price is factored.

I am betting there is some sort of savory secret Schiit sauce...considering the pedigree with MFSL.

Of course it is. Taking for granted the ADC will convert analog to digital fairly transparently, it had better offer a range of formats. Look on Sweetwater or Musicians Friend and there are a slew of sub $500 ADCs, many offer recording to an SD card which I love, computer connectivity, and 16...

and ADC is ALL about specs., aside from obviously being well engineered...24/192 PCM? DSD128? What do we get here?

Sweet!!! One Vidar sold...very soon!

Superb. I ask because IF my memory serves me, Jason was hesitant to say that the Vidar would be a great match for Maggis...probably because he did not know for sure... Getting reports from the field is the only way to be sure I guess. I love Maggies, and the only fly in the ointment they...

Anything up to the 1.7, the top of my budget. I have never used Maggies with less than 100 wpc. On paper, I can see what you are describing would absolutely be true...would love to have heard it! But the bottom, line, no sweat for the Vidar?
