I picked up an X8 a few weeks ago. I really like it. Fun switching back and forth between the two op amps that came with it. I didn't think that I would hear much difference but I did. I received a Sparkos SS2590 yesterday and it sounds really nice right out of the box. I supposed it takes a bit...

Seeking some advice please. Looking to get a preamp for second setup. Want to run in active mode but be as neutral and transparent as possible. Wondering what difference I might experience in sound between a Saga in JFET. Saga+ with stock tube and Saga + with Lisst. Thanks all.

Do we have any rough ETA on singularity DAC. Later this year or not until 2024? Getting restless for a new toy. Thanks.

Lol. And me for a singularity DAC.

Is it live now? the link takes me to youtube but nothing steaming that I can find.

Seduced by the dark side of the force I have. Looks great.

I know, right? Now I've got to have both.😁

A perfect moment in time. Thank you for sharing.

Saga may not be the best of values from the manufacturer perspective. From a consumer perspective, it makes tremendous sense and value to have something this good for someone new getting into the hobby. For me, the 9x6 form factor is my favorite so it's difficult for me to imagine schiit...

#2 for me please. I keep thinking of a bifrost with a toggle switch between singularity and megacomboburitto filter. One and done.

I believe purple powder coating would be the third option? 😁

As I've mentioned before, my only digital source is CD and that I would love a transport only in a bifrost-size form factor. But now that the Urd is only a few mouse clicks away, I'm very tempted to break a piggy bank or two. Congrats to the development team. Long road but well worth the journey.

As would I. Love that album. I would almost get a Syn just to experience that if nothing else.

I realize this is lower priority with the Urd and MJ3 coming in neck to neck, but I'm anxious to see a Modius in the new chassis similar to the Modi+. I recall in one of the video interview that this may be in the work? It just looks so slick on the Magni+ and modi+ that it should be great in a...

I actually had to google that to see what one looks like. That may just be the sound I'm looking for. :dt880smile: Anyway, I'm glad that we have such a variety of DAC flavors to choose from. I'm after a sound that's a tad on the detailed side of neutral. I'm probably over-thinking it and...

Thanks. Really helpful analogy. Sliding that down the product line, would it be fair to say the Modi multibit 2 as like a Martin acoustic guitar, the Modius like a shredding stratocaster, and Modi+ somewhere between?

While we are briefly on the subject of silver finishes, I'd like to sneak in a quick question. Anodized finish, is this the smooth finish as on the current Bifrost, Lokius, Modius? What is brushed finish that on my current Freya S and the Saga referred to as? My old Modi 3, sys, and Loki have...

Mine would have been the Sol. Wish I'd gotten one. I was in debt at the time. Instant classic and collectible IMO.

He is completely chillin'. Got his own private Schittr and best seat in the house. Way cool.

Yes, the black Freya S cover was available when I inquired about a month or so ago. I'm sure it's properly priced but with shipping cost, I debate whether the money may be better spent on other Schiit products that I still want. I may even grab a Freya N while I can and sell the S. Tubes might...

I've looked at Schiit from both sides now. 😁 My four schiit components are silver so naturally when it came time to pick up a Freya S recently, I went with silver. Then I got to see a black schiit component in-person for the first time...well I contacted Schiit to inquire about purchasing a...

This is a really neat setup. When you are using the Valhalla signal path, how do you control the volume since there are two gain controls? Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. Jotunheim sounds like the perfect solution for me as I only have two sources anyway. Since I don't do headphones, I always thought of it as a headphone amp. It never occurred to me to look at it as a balanced preamp. Inspired by @MoveStonks's setup, now I can't stop...

Yea, was just hoping that I could have all same form factor.

Hope someone can set me straight on this please. I'm considering two gjallarhorns in a mono block setup. I understand that they need to be fed true balanced signals like a Freya. Since the Lokius has both single ended and balanced input and output, would Saga+ -->Lokius-->two gjallarhorns work...
