.. may also have an EITR for sale this week. I'm ABing a new DDC, per my emo needs to spend more $ on gear.

so i just picked up a used SU-1 Kitsune- made in 2018- model.. firmware V2.20.2018 version. Is there a firmware update? I have an Audio Mirror Tubadour II, not the current III SE model but guessing it's similar.. in looking at the "switch settings" doc, kind of seems like only 7-10 are in...

i have the 'occurrences' of stopping audio.. wasn't aware the EITR was causing it. i thought my streamer was puking up. it doesn't happen often but now your post has me thinking. currently, my non-amp gear is running through a Blue Circle Thingee 6 outlet conditioner, which may be delivering...

has anyone reversed the set up with their EITR and run into the coax and out from the USB?

I do not sure low sales was the reason they cancelled it.. by setting that price point above, I was suggesting that they make a higher end DDC, competitive with Denafrips, Singxer Kitsune maybe even Innuous.. not re-releasing a low end, get it done unit like the EITR. most of my issues with...

i disagree.. modded kitsune singxers go for a higher price than most of their product line up.. i'm not a fan of schiit DACs until you get to Gumby and I sold mine, have a better one, imo. I'd like to try a Yaggy but only the newest model.. and// $2500. my preamp is better than the their...

good info.. thanks for the fact check and good suggestions. I priced those options out and think it prob just makes sense to sell EITR and get the Sonore UltraDigital or something else rather than spending more money on the EITR.. i still think Schiit is dropping/ missing the ball/ boat here...

I really like to see Schiit re-enter the DDC market.. it's compacted w chinese units that cost more than most of the Schiit line up.. just for clean power.. Schiit really, really missing the boat here- can't understand why they ditched the EITR either. one of the worst moves..

is anyone using an external linear power supply w EITR? i've been using wall wort.. have been thinking about selling and getting something else.. nicer than EITR too. sbooster makes a 5-6v unit.. not cheap but the uptick that the Sbooster gives to my Lumin streamer is noticeable.. compared to...

Outside of the obvious listed specs listed on the site, is there a level change in the quality of components between the two DACs or what justifies the plus $150 price tag? Has any one heard both here? If so, can you give some impressions? I wanted the Orchid originally and missed out on a...

been going through and around about spdif converters.. looked at Singxer U1 and 2, the Kitsune versions.. how the test sites say these units are useless, how I put them into my system and hear audible 'improvements' between using and not using them.. feels like we're just pushing the ball around...

I'm confused, the SMS-200 is a streamer.. the EITR is just a USB to coax unit. Are you saying that a boosted EITR makes it close to comparable, with using a streamer? I find that hard to believe but maybe, depending on your system.

I saw teh DB Audio Labs Tranquility is coming out w an SE model.. maybe I'm bad at the webs but I can't find their website.. the only one http://www.dbaudiolabs.com/ found on a forum post, loads but just says 'page ok'.. meh? is this my internets? Maybe I'm not getting to all the nets.

Audio Mirror is a few hours from me.. very near some big Altec multicell horns that I've been chatting with the seller about trading gear for. Wonder if I call the AM owner and set some time up to come by and listen. A few folk I know and 'agree with' ;D about sound have them and said they're...

the real problem w computer to DAC is that PC are a crap source for audio.. we spend all this money on gear, the perfect tube or DAC chip from 1992 or whatever and then feed the DAC and sound chain w junk source (PC, mac mini, Pi >> to a lesser extent) expecting it to do all the heavy lifting...

makes sense and agreed. been watching for a used SE but I'll probably pull on the $1500 'entry-level' DAC. Can't peel off the extra grand right now.. I'm about to sell a pile of gear though so depending on how that goes.. we shall see,

A good cheap DAC that's fun to tube roll 12ax7 is the Jolida Glass DSD DAC... can find them used for a decent price, under $400 sometimes. don't get the Glass III model tho, just the DSD, even if you don't use DSD. Lots of upgrades in the stock model, from the last version to this one. I'm...

makes sense, im not as familiar w Chord DACs.. thought Hugo was more multipurpose.

i've seent some good ones on the low side from Zu Audio, <<has an ebay store, for a little more, wireworld and straightwire make nice kit too.

not sure exactly what you mean by wireless network but using bluetooth or wifi to feed a source isn't the best option. if you're making the effort on sound, your gear deserves an uncompressed signal.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing, end them. As Will explains above, I'm looking to replace my current DAC with an Audio Magic Tubadour III >> I'm just not sure between the base model...

yes, cable. if you're using stock cables.. spend a little more if you can on the replacement. the rewards in SQ will more than likely pay off.

While it's possible, you would be better served finding a cheap used Oppo or similar.. the audio pathway, even in a nice PC is dirty and not focused on reproducing quality audio. it's like using a flower pot to keep your cookies. even if you get it really clean, there's still the hole at the...

JBL 530, heard some of these sourced by a dragonfly red and a mobile phone that sounded surprisingly good.

I was using an EITR between my PC and Jolida DAC.. there was a night and day difference between having the EITR in line and out. With my current streamer/ hard drive combo, I don't have it in line.. may end up selling. I'll blip something here if I do. I was surprised, kind of, when Schiit...
