Please let me know how it compares also. I am tired of Yggdrasil and Mjolnir and audioquest cables and crap. I want my simple and small solution days back.

Somebody technically advanced enough should help us build a music library. :D we can always go there to get new music suggestion.

@Jason Stodard please see this.

Hey you awesome bunch of people, I have this question always, could not get an answer. I have a Yggdrasil ana 2 DAC, I use a 550 WPC beefy amp to go with a KEF LS50. Now my system is too bulky and I wanna make it small and easy to move. I wanna sell my preamp and amp and buy a Ragnarok. I get an...

OMG!

Thanks for putting out this trend. I really wanted a decent quality CD player on the rag 2 stuck to the top plate. If there is a decent quality cd player, nothing gets better than that.

So Rag 1 is out completely? That I did not expect. I thought that thing is gonna hang around for a while.

Mani 2. :P

No, and of course I am interested. My Idea is nothing less than Dave will be able to put up to a competition.

I think they are very reliable in terms of quality and recommendations. Other places you have to know your crap. And be very careful. Upscale audio is like buying a nissan car from the biggest nissan dealer in town. :P

Hey for my uses I did not feel the need of a streamer. But is this r pi streamer cheap? then I might consider adding one. Also another controversial note; I think the optical is still better than USB 5 in my Yggy ana 2. But not with the cheap USB cables; you have to invest in a good quality one...

LOL is the word I have.

@Jason Stoddard since everyone is having Christmas wish; let me tell mine: can we have a Jotunheim with THX AAA (highest quality one that benchmark uses) with tweaks so it can sound like a SPL phonitor. So, clarity, power and Audio Research type warm; honey sound. Please? This Jotun heim can...

For the longest time I wanted a simple and cheap balanced vol control (SYS eqv; to run from my yggy 2 to XPA 2). Please. That reminds me of another controversial topic. How much do u think the potentiometer in vol control matter in sound quality? I seem to read a lot about that. Benchmark...

This link should be on the wikipedia page of "can of worms". :P

Haha, ofcourse you spend like what you want. Also, for people who have too much money they can waste. I was talking for the people who are like me. I do not have excess money to waste; but if it adds value, I will do it. I was trying to understand what people thought about that. :D :D I am sure...

Wow, that is pretty interesting. Will wait for other people's take/ views and perspectives. Thank you for being neutral BDW. This new world has become so biased; either you are with me or you are against me. I hate that attitude. I can be polar opposite to you and still be friends. :D

I did not call it a scam; however I started the discussion thread so I feel obliged to put my two penny. I did not call any high end file, CD, record, tidal a scam or useless. If you have a thing for same music over and over please do it. All I was trying to say is; I listen to anything and...

Dude Rag 2 will be a confusing product I bet you. You know why? People will compare it with Rag 1 when rag 2 is actually running a internal schiit DAC. Also Stoddard said it is focused on the speaker amp section unlike rag 1. So higher noise. I am sure; it will be all over interesting. lol...

I really like your expression. Thank you. Lets see what other people has to say.

Well I am not getting the point then. Please help a little. What would a better UI do to me (Better that youtube's). Also, I have read Roon's website and seen it here and there; I do not own it. What do you think is the most imp benifit that roon has; apart from keeping all your music sources...

Hey thanks for your reply. I know that good sound is good and there are pretty many sources to buy them. And I appreciate my Ygg 2 /XPA2 Kef LS50 sound even when the source is crappy. But; I was saying there is so much music/ movies/ videos that is not HD quality that I listen to. Also, I dunno...

What would roon do to the youtube sound you think? I am curious.

Guys, I have an honest and straight question to you. Why are people so obsessed about Roon, audionirvana, Tidal etc. so much? I mean I get it. I have a tidal subscription; sometimes I go and enjoy super high quality audio and satisfy my geek self; I also have quite a few CDs. I do have a record...
