Hey guys I'm new here in this forum. Been reading posts for some time though. Currently I have a pair of Hifiman HE 560, driven by Schiit Lyr 2. I use both Marantz tt-15 turntable and Bifrost Multibit as my source. Recently I have just moved to a new apartment so I'm thinking of setting up new...

I recently upgraded to the Bifrost Uber and is wondering if the new Bifrost 4490 is worth upgrading from the Uber?   Has anyone upgraded to the new Bifrost 4490 card? I would like a discussion on its advantages (if any), and what are the sonic differences between the 4490 and the older Uber...

Hello, guys headphones or speakers are better for 2000$ max. ? 

I want a usb dac and amp that can drive any headphones High impedance to low impedance. I'm not worried about driving electro statics because i don't plan on ever getting electrostatic headphones, Speakers definetly but not headphones. Also I'd prefer something under $600 but $1000 is okay. A...

Hey all, I have a pair of HD650's that is paired with a headroom (own brand, its at least 6-7 yrs old) microDAC but it's lacking severely in the bass.  It's ok at lower volumes until I turn it up and then the treble and mids take over, which is fine--if I can find an amp where the bass can keep...

Hey everyone. For the past year or so I have been listening to high quality music with my Sennheiser HD 650's. My setup is currently the HD 650's paired with the Schiit Bifrost DAC w/ usb and the Schiit Valhalla Tube Amp. I have my DAC plugged into my laptop with a usb cable where I play my...

Hi, I have finally gotten the funds to upgrade from my Denon D5000s. My budget is 2000 dollars for both amp/DAC and headphones. I would like a can that does the denons better. Better bass(quality not thump), better mid range and better imaging. I'm using a fiio e9+schiit modi combo.

Looking for an amp/DAC setup that is versatile for most headphones (high impedance driver and planars) and I could use for many many years. For now the headphone I use is the Alpha Dog, HD800 on shipping. Next buy at the end of the year will be HE-6 or LCD-3. Budget max 1500 dollars, Burson...

The type of music I listen to is bass music with clear vocals. for example:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxvpctgU_s8   I also want to use them to watch movies.   My price limit is up to $2000 for my high end pair. (includes headphone and dac/amp)

Hi guys   Two weeks ago I brought new Schiit Lyr and Bifrost combo. I use my MacBook Pro as music source. I have a Bose Music Monitor speaker, plus a Etymotic ER-4PT Portable In-Ear Earphones. Most of my music are in the format of mp3. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell any difference between...

At work I love my schiit vahalla/bifrost 650 setup.  I would like to set up something similar for music listening at home.  I have some Klipsch bookshelf speakers that I would like to use in addition to headphones.  I was excited by the McIntosh mha100 product until I saw the price of $4,500.  ...

Been a while since I've posted, but I'm in the market for a DAC in the $400-500 range for my study. (TOSLink input, not USB.)   I've heard so many good things about the Bifrost, especially with the Uber upgrade, but I've always been a big fan of NAD and I was wondering if anyone has had a...

I currently have a Schiit Asgard 2/Bifrost combo being run from the optical out of my computer's soundcard.   Will adding a second amplifier from the soundcard's 3.5 mm jack (soundcard------>3.5mm to RCA cable -------->Schiit Magni) have any negative affect (i.e. signal drop) if they are both...

Hey guys,   Anyone care to lend their opinion on these two configuration, they cost about the same.  I have Audeze LCD2 and Beyerdynamic DT880 250Ohm at the moment, and listens to vocal alot, with some classical in the mix.  Also I enjoy watching movies with the LCD2.  I want an amp/dac combo...

Hello from a long-time lurker who has finally mustered up the courage to join this incredibly informative and awesome forum!  TBH I feel like a bit of an imposter, as although I have a nice "Head-Fi" setup, the majority of my listening is done through conventional loudspeakers (I'll spare you...

I'm looking forward to purchasing a Schiit Magni, I am not going to look into other amps. The Bifrost Uber from what I have experienced is laid back, lush, but very detailed. The highs don't sparkle as much as I would like them too(probably because of the Little Dot 1+).   My current set up is...

Features:  ● THD + N of less than 0.0005%  ● USB support 32bit, 384KHZ PCM signal ● DSD direct decoding ● 2 filter modes are available,  ● eliminate jitter control switch filters, phase jitter control switch, you can adjust the combination of different styles of sound.  ● High-bandwidth...

Just talking about sound quality of the two dacs here. Has anybody had a chance to compare these two. After looking at stuff a long time I think it has come down to one of these. I saw some posts on the DC-1 forum but I am thinking those people may be a bit biased. Stat and feature wise the DC-1...

All,    I was looking at my current setup and was wondering if I should consider swapping out the Meier amp or even swap the whole stack to the new Fostex HP-A4. The Meier is a little older but I am not sure that is a bad thing.   I am currently only using the 1964 ears products (V6stage and...

After reading the serialized story about the origins and evolution of Schiit Audio I am convinced that  Mr Stoddard and Mr Moffat can build ( or more likely conjure )  any piece of audio gear we desire. So let's start a wish list for them.  As I said in another post if they build it we will buy...
