It looks so great, can you offer it as standard, maybe with clear lacquer as protection?

Matt

Things like that don't look good laquered and stain fast unprotected.

Source: been there done that.

Nope.

It's super fragile as a finish, it would never hold up. Anodize or powder are the options.

I would love to see PYST B to C options.

I've found other options for USB 2.0 B-to-C to include the following, but all are assembled/made in China I assume. Also make sure you order a USB 2.0 cable as the USB B plug is different for USB 3.* . And the Mini-B and Micro-B are straight out.

If you want to just buy the connector you could get them here and make your own or mod an A-B cable by removing the A plug and replacing it (the seller will also build you a cable if you order all the parts and such see his page for details):

I ordered one of these from Singapore, well made and good sounding:

OK,
then what about polished stainless steel at a higher price?

We don't need a third finish. That would be nightmarish.

 

[nasty nate]

Jason: releases product we’ve been anxiously waiting for

Us: ok but what about _____

 

[Astral Abyss]

Are Mjolnir 3 specs finalized yet? Any chance we could get some general power specs?

 

[matthia]

OK,
is there an update on Singularity?
Thanks

[FLTWS]

Well, this is probably the first thing Jason has posted that has not resulted in me suffering from FOMO.

You know you want one.

 

[JooLoo]

Is this the shot of the new 5 channel gizmo in a vidar chassis ? and if so can we get a better shot?

 

[StimpyWan]

By all means, do report back. Why would think it shouldn't work if it has USB out? If it doesn't work then your unit is defective. If it does, yet another reason for @Jason Stoddard to update the website.

Best.

From the URD description: "Urd is the only CD transport that gives you Unison USB™ output". What is incorrect with that statement...? Jason did not state ""Urd is the only CD transport that gives you USB output". A huge difference between those 2 comments...! If anything needed clarification, Jason could have stated that the URD was a CD-Audio transport, since it specifically supports Red-Book audio. But, the "CD transport that gives you Unison USB™ output" statement is still fine as-is...!

 

[ImagesbyMurray]

I humbly disagree. My computer most certainly is a CD transport. It happens to be other things as well, so you could play semantics and indicate it is not a "dedicated" transport. Still, Schiit's claim is a play on words and is not valid, given the explanation you provided.

Lets compare Audio playback on a Windows computer vs: Urd

from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/audio/windows-audio-architecture

Note that *everything* here is managed by a general purpose O/S

Urd:

4 Pic-32's - 3 of which are Unison I/O. the 4th device management / switching.

A general purpose computer? No, not anymore than a toaster / car / washing machine is a general purpose computer ......

That Urd is beautiful. Now what's next?
Jason, you're at the end of the line of sensible audio gear.
Only the cancellation of your own "no programmable gear" might help you here.
Or maybe just take a break. You've done it all.

Well there's still car audio (runs and hides)

Add the Tyrs if you like, but still needs a Ragnarok for headphones.

Naw, just connect the headphones directly to the Tyrs
https://www.superbestaudiofriends.o...ews-and-impressions.12178/page-10#post-409979

So today it's Bricasti MC1 -> Serene KTE -> Schiit Tyrs. And yeah I'm just using them with headphones which I know is odd. I have a Zynsonix adapter box and also some cables to connect straight to the speaker taps.

So I really like the Tyrs, they sound better then any other headphone amp I've used and they run pretty cool which means I can use them all year round. My favorite headphone pairings with them is ZMF Atrium, Aurorus Borealis, Aurorus Australis, 1266 TC, and Diana v2.
