@Jason Stoddard have you folks considered doing your own DSP chips? (on an "affordable" technology node of course, not 7nm).

@Jason Stoddard minor nitpicking regarding the FAQ for Bifrost 2, but think it should be "epiphosity", not "ephiphosity". The Greek epi- prefix means "above/beyond/upon/at".

Respectfully (I love Schiit, I'm totally a schiitophile), but you're not getting much from a 3-way comparison of things that are super close. The phenomenon is well known to the point that Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" talks about it in the context of...

@Jason Stoddard sorry to bother you again with this question, could you tell us what your home listening setup is? I'm guessing Jotunheim 2 + multibit card + Aeon 2 (though Bifrost 2 or another Aeon are also possibilities).

@Jason Stoddard Does your home setup include a multibit DAC card, or a discrete DAC (such as the Bifrost 2)? Also, do you use Aeon headphones?

Great, thanks! No, that's probably class SM (SchiitMad (tm))

@Jason Stoddard - what class is the output stage?

@gikigill - sorry, but did you read the whole of the wiki page, including: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlensky_v._Wrigley ?

The corporation, through its agents (directors, officers), owes the shareholders fiduciary duty. To the best of my knowledge, that does mean, among others, treating the company's finances as if they were treating their own finances. It doesn't mean making as much money as possible for their...

I appreciate your comparison! Could you explain the difference between "leaner tonality" and "smoother"?

For obvious reasons, Jason et al. don't want to go down the rabbit hole of discussing how it sounds. But, if anyone who gets it, could compare this to the sound of some Schiit Multibit implementation ...

you should be well within your return window ...

Well if you figure it out by all means do let me know :). I don't own a qutest.

Nope, it doesn't. Just keep in mind that: There are no guarantees that the Mojo will work if you do the above. OTOH I found the process straightforward after finding the right hex key (so not much to lose if you try) Mojo can shut itself down from thermal throttling as well. With my headphones...

Like many people, I got a Mojo in 2016 - a great sounding value DAC. After a couple of years its battery died: it could not hold charge anymore. As replacing its battery at the local service center (New York) had an estimated cost of 130$ plus shipping, I decided instead to try operating it...

Death rates of 3.4% (WHO estimates) for a virus that spreads so stealthily and so easily are not trivial. https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19---3-march-2020 In the Seattle elderly facility the death rate was more like...

Yes, I was trying to do that already.

Please ignore my posts. I really don't care about your condescension.

Well, if @FLTWS doesn't answer, I'd absolutely love your opinion as well :). If you had for instance a Tidal/Spotify/Qobuz playlist, that would be much appreciated!

As an aside, I think I would listen to a lot more classical music if I had a great playlist - with a good orchestra, recording and production as well. Roughly ten years ago I had a classical music for noobs CD, and the only good part was the selection. Recording was poor (lot of noise) and the...

The problem with blind testing is that there's a lot of assholes, there's no other way to put it. It's a great investigative technique, but you need to keep an open mind rather than push dogma. Most importantly, there's a great asymmetry between a positive finding and a negative one. You can...
