As @Ripper2860 said, Jason recently posted this https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up.701900/page-9975#post-18096883

Preface: was digging through some boxes of CDs looking for a title mentioned recently on this thread Sheherazade (which wasn’t located in my collection of course) and spotted the Chris Rea “Road to Hell” disc… (if you squint reeeeeaaaaallllll hard, the guy in the video looks a bit like...

Saga impressions thread (earlier posts might for original Saga, as Saga+ and Saga S were introduced later) https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiits-saga-preamp-impressions.826388/ If you like the stackability of Saga+ with Bifrost 2/64 (same 6" x9" footprint) but don't want to deal with tubes...

for Sendy Aria, rated at 96dB/mW: for the same volume level, 93dB/mW cans will need twice the power, and 90dB/mW ones will need 4 times the power vs Sendy Aria. only 1/1000 Watt is needed for 96dB (for reference, a residential smoke alarm is 85dB min per Code requirements), and perhaps only...

T-25 torx heads don’t cam-out / strip like the philips heads do. Can break in half if too aggressive on the Impact’s trigger though That setup must sound wonderful. Esp after yggy A1 settles in Perhaps a single 18” ASC bass trap stack for that rear corner?

Only 1 screw per 2x4??? 18-20v impact driver helps here

@Quiz for your use case, with Bifrost 2/64 DAC, and the JBL LSR305 monitors, there is another low-cost XLR-compatible alternative pre-amp in Clearance / B-stock section currently in limited quantities, Magnius ($149 Closeout / $139 B-stock) the predecessor to Midgard product into chapter by...

Saga+ (and the now-discontinued Saga S which is all solid-state, no tubes) both have remote control of volume and source selection too (Midgard doesn't have remote control, but does have balanced XLR line outputs). Depending on your setup, the remote control functions may allow for locating the...

A few things to check: Purchase inexpensive (12-20 USD) AC watt/ power meter, measure AC power draw (keep audio inputs / outputs disconnected)— expecting 8 to 20W, Power Factor PF ~0.65 or so. There should also be a (faint) audible click from the unit when power-on muting circuit activates ~15...

Is Mute on (leftmost LED of the group of three left of the volume control will be lit when muted)? Pls remember to turn down volume before un-muting… Also when changing gain modes (passive / fet buffer / differential tube gain) the output may be momentarily muted and Status LED on right side...

There might be a factory voltage change service available for Saga+... from 2023, Jason talked about 50/60Hz compatibility of the power transformers here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up.701900/page-8303#post-17701231 IIRC...

Only 33?

Taxing, but will be over tomorrow. (those in Canada please consider this post back-dated?? belated?? by about 1 month)

is schiitEurope able to assist with voltage change service as well as repairs?

With reversed Sys, keep its volume control maxxed and use volume controls on downstream devices to avoid loading down the source (DAC) output

there's a "Report" button on the lower left corner of each post... (be fair and report ALL political posts, including the ones you don't necessarily disagree with) Also looking forward to the upcoming new product release chapters by Jason... some guesses on Valhalla 3 (does this have an...

Pre-existing condition (Musical Fidelity, Transparent, xlo, etc) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Welcome, Schiitizen. XLO interconnects! (Wallet obviously damaged years ago)

IMHO, nicest ones yet. (and much much much much betterer than that "zebra-fruit-stripe-gum-wannabe-maple" stuff) :ksc75smile:

AFAIK, the internal ES9028 DAC module option of Jotunheim 2 has a balanced analog output stage, which should help reduce some (common-mode AC ground) interference from your PC. some versions of the Unison USB interface (such as those on Bifrost 2 and Yggdrasil DACs also offer electromagnetic...

FTFY

@Nick76 @keenerz try contacting them via email and ask for a (pre-paid) return tag so that you can just drop it off at UPS or Fedex. take a pic of the tag before sending so you can track the return progress. @quawn0418 black vs blue case color might indicate a different cap manufacturer or...

not after a full sampling round or three from the whiskey station. :dizzy_face: (darts first, whiskey later???) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

only 35.99 USA and that's before a 15% coupon :ksc75smile: glad that there are some affordable aftermarket power cables (for those that want them).

glad to have you back, sounds like quite an ordeal. (I bet items 5 and 6 were the worst, and with lingering (permanent???) side effects... :ksc75smile:)
