    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Huh. Very interesting, thanks. I do think that we have done USB a disservice in the past by comparing mediocre or poor USB sources with better sources of other kinds. I think that Marv is right to point this out, and his opinion that Unison from a PCIe usb card sounded better than Pi2AES was...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    You did not answer my question. I knew all that already. But in the particular case of the Yggdrasil with Unison, SBAF members have found that very good USB sources outscale what is possible with the off-the-shelf AES implementation in the Yggdrasil. I was curious to know Earnmyturns response...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Do you disagree with the consensus on SBAF that Yggy with Unison prefers excellent USB to excellent AES? They seem to think that USB is Yggy's best designed input.

    Which DAC + AMP to buy?

    Ah damn. That's a shame. Would you like to give me a budget and your use case? I'd be happy to find you a recommendation! I advised my best friend on what to buy for under 1k about 3 years ago and he still thanks me each time we meet lol

    Which DAC + AMP to buy?

    From SBAF: "Jason confirmed with me on Head-Fi a little bit back that "native" ASIO drivers aren't supported with Bifrost 2, which makes sense given that Unison relies on Windows 10's/Microsoft's UAC2 driver to function and not a third-party driver. It seems unlikely to me that Microsoft will...

    Apple Music  Now with lossless high-res and spatial audio

    I am so happy to see the recent adoption of lossless audio streaming by all the major streaming services. Long have we waited! As someone who has cared about SQ for a number of years, I could never understand why this didn't happen sooner, given the relatively low bandwidth requirements compared...

    Looking for an IEM <$500 and a DAC to go with it

    ShotgunShane is the authority I listen to on all things IEM. He recently reviewed the Moondrop Kato and said it is now his de-facto recommendation. Read the review on SBAF.

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    I also do not think wireless is up to par yet. Also, one of the major advantages to purchasing non-electronic goods like headphones, iems and keyboards is that they will last you a lifetime, or at least have good resale value. Wireless versions of all these products depreciate much faster...

    Which DAC + AMP to buy?

    Hi @Kitarist ,Please for the love of all things good do not listen to the recommendations for Topping and SMSL. Go with something from Schiit Audio. Or pretty much anything other than Topping/SMSL Chi-Fi

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    @Rockwell75 Sorry for the confusion, it was the following sentence about itunes that made me think you listened primarily using itunes music. Ofc they were local files, silly me. I didn't mean to question the value of your opinion, but I personally think that lossless files sound far more...

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    Hi @Rockwell75 I am surprised to hear this. Did you simply not have good equipment at the time or do you still not care about audio compression? I think it matters quite a bit in order to understand your listening priorities and reviewing methodology. Many thanks in advance

    HD800 VS HD800S

    The OG HD800 remains the best platform for physical modification out of all HD800 series headphones. Heck, it's possibly the best mod platform of all headphones period! The only reason to buy anything other than a second-hand HD800 is if you do not want to mod the headphone. However, the HD800...
