SiGiE,

What caps, and their specs, did you changed?

Thanks!

Schiit Yggdrasil shipped. Unfortunately, I'm leaving out of town tomorrow. When I get back next Monday, I'll be able to compare the Pulse Infinity with the Yggy. It may not be a fair comparison, because I will not have enough time to properly burn in the Yggy.

So, give it a few days to burn in (we'll still be here )

How is the comparison with Chord Mojo with Pulse? can Mojo drive power hungry cans like Hifimans?

 

[doctorjazz]

Haven't tried it myself, but from what I've read, most seem to use it for the dac into an external amp (the Mojo, that is).

Depends which Hifimans. Probably good for all but the HE-6's. Cheers

Any geek owners out there have experience with the Eastern electric minimax?

No chance anyone's heard head or tails over the shipment process on the X-fi's? Feel the longer the project goes on the less news you hear about process on the old projects.

Well the Vi Infinity has a similar makeup, and costs the same as the Yggy.  Would that be a fair fight?  I'm not sure.  The Vi DAC was exciting a year ago.  Now, not so much but I'm still waiting... tic toc.

Swapped all caps (selecting exact value) for Blackgates. Then I added an extra BG cap for Power.   Added 2 pairs of Mundorf Evo Silver Gold Oil on the headphone-out. And planning on adding 2 pairs of Duelund Cast for the line-out.  
 
Listening Experience is also nice with my HybridTube Amp populated with Mundorf Silver Gold Oil Caps and a pair of Telefunken.   THANKS!

Is your Infinity in the 1.0(smaller) chassis or the 2.0(larger, revised) chassis? If it is in the 1.0 chassis, is it with the K2M or AQ2M ESS DAC chip?
 
And I agree, let it burn in while you're gone. I've been doing this with me Infinity 2.0 and THANK GOD I have. I've put about 150-200 hours on it and it's sounding TOTALLY different than before. Before I thought it sucked, really. I was enjoying my GO1000 over it. But nowadays when I listen to the GO1000 at work I'm just disappointed in it. I can't wait to get my Infinity 2.0 into work in like March and jam out!

Believe all Infinities were made with the AQ2M chip. Cheers

Sound science question from a woefully undereducated head-fier:
 
90% of my music library is 16/44, maybe 5% mp3 320, and the remaining 5% is 24/48 or better. Is having a DAC as capable as the Pulse overkill for redbook files? I'll probably never own any DSD recordings and I can't imagine owning many recordings that are better than 24/48.
 
Someone help a dummy out!

 

[doctorjazz]

Don't need hi resolution files to hear the benefits of a better DAC, good sounding red book will sound better on a good DAC. NOTHING IS OVERKILL (audiophile motto!)
