Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

You can scale the curve it to your liking based on the rest of your chain and your own taste.

Will the digital volume control also be exposed over Unison USB, so that it’s seen as a hardware volume mixer to the operating system?

No, those are two entirely different things from a USB protocol standpoint. It's Forkbeard only for the time being.

Can you guys please share any future paths for bifrost 2 ? I'm an OG bifrost 2 owner and also have the 2/64 card. I know it was mentioned there may possibly be some upgrade path/trade ideas. Just really curious ! Love my BF2 and would like to see all these forkbeard things if possible. Other than that I'll be waiting for Android on gungnir 2 forkbeard and then pull the trigger. My A1 and A2 Gungnir will be sold !

In a world where every Schiit DAC is also a digital preamp (in addition to hardware preamps), does this open up the possibility of pure headphone power amps without a preamp section to control volume?

 

[Godaisan]

Adjustable low/high pass filters would be a nice feature to have if that’s at all possible with this newfangled technology.

I am so excited...
I'll be able to run Mimir balanced into Kara and single ended into my Dyna PAS-4 pre-preamp at the same time.
Woo-Hoo!

 

[sixergixer]

OMG! It's already been shipped!

They probably kicked it in the mail as soon as you said you were looking for your wallet.

*probably in compensation for your long-ish wait for a silver Stjarna.

That’s what I do with my Yggy. XLR to the Mjolnir and SE to the Elekit. Double the pleasure!

Oh, and one more note on the loudness feature, because it didn't come up in Jason's chapter:

It's scalable.

Yep, you read that right. You can actually dial it back if the default is too much for you. I don't think that's ever been done before, in analog or digital.

Variable or on/off?

 

[ArmchairPhilosopher]

Variable or on/off?

Yes.

(read: both; it's variable and you can fully defeat it by setting the EQ to "flat")

 

[LobalWarming]

What "USB dongle?"

Don't know. That's a question for possibly your partner, or more likely, @Ripper2860.

 

[bagwell359]

Is this suggesting that singularity will be a sound quality "upgrade" from the multibit Yggys???

I thought the immortal point was that multibit smokes delta-sigma.

MB > DS

but FPGA Schiit style (G 2) is better than all the Yggy I know (4) IMO, so the new Yggy should be better than old Yggy and G 2.

Forkbeard for the most popular mobile OS in the world (Android) when!?
Can't wait to get a Gungnir 2 with it, but not having it available on Android is a downer.

I do apologize in advance if my position offends. It is my personal one, you do you, as always. So the question is that I absolutely won't give any of my dollars to Apple, so just want to double check. Just from the price with/without, seems obvious to me that I could get without FB and when the Android app comes out, just buy the module.

Is that correct?

Yes, absolutely correct. Apart from the additional shipping cost, there will be no penalty whatsoever if you want to get the module later.

This is a very very cheap universal remote, especially for something that has a 10" screen.

Personally, I use an old phone or iPad, because I don't want to deal with my phone phone after hours. You can make it a clean device and even turn off wifi entirely, and Forkbeard works just fine.

Also personally, I don't understand the fight between two different camps. I carry a Macbook Air an Microsoft Surface in my bag at all times, and I always have both an iPhone and an Android phone. Maybe I'm crazy.

All that said, Android development continues, if you want to wait.

I don't get it either. They're tools, not a religion. My primary phone is an iPhone, my burner phone for international travel is Android, I have Windows PC's (work, gaming, telescope control), a couple of Macs, a Linux laptop, a BSD PC, iPad, and an old Android tablet lying around somewhere....

Some of us are dogmatic in that way. You are not crazy for being agnostic, nor am I for refusing to feed my dollars to Apple. It is just different types (and both valid!) of internal logic. Asked my question in previous post, so will just wait until the Android version comes out to get the FB module!
