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

Analog tape? Please god no…

Not for anything new, thank you. Yet let's recognize much of our favorite music was recorded on open reel tape, and is now preserved in newer formats.

Especially those MoFi vinyl's.

And now for something completely different...

BrewDog also has some AF beers that taste good as well -- 20 Calories and 2.3 Carbs

Nanny State is certainly very good indeed - I quite often have half n half if we are enjoying company. - that is half alcoholic and half non- alcoholic - preferable the same brewery and type

It feels weird to "Like" this...

I love Dire Straits music.

fragile but sharp!

As with many things in life, you best know what you are dealing with. My wife uses German steel for everyday use, I keep a couple other sets for my own use.

Well at least TI is not sleeping here!
Mouser has them listed for $76.45 each or a 1,000 of them for $76,450 !!
R2R ladder architecture ??

It's hard to tell what's going on from TI's description, but yes, the TI DAC11001B is 20-bit ladder DAC--just like the AD5791, and the DAC10011A. The DAC10011A measures pretty terribly at high frequencies; this one doesn't. The DAC10011A was not the favorite Yggdrasil flavor (understating this by a LOT). The DAC11001B trades blows with OG--while also being the best-measuring multibit DAC in history.

Here's a comparison of DAC11001A and B at 20kHz (one channel DAC11001A, one B, same unit, real time.) The difference is astounding. TI saying they "improved" the DAC11001A is like a chef saying he "elevated" a McDonald's hamburger to a Michelin-star dish. TI hit it out of the park.

In terms of traditional THD+N specs, the DAC11001B is about a -118/9dB implementation in Yggy (1k full scale sine, 20k bandwidth, all hail the mighty and true APx555, yadda yadda).

And yeah, I know, measurements aren't everything. But in this case they are no reason to be afraid.

Japanese for me, brittleness and all.

Have u tried this measurement over several samples from TI ? Same results ?
The old QC" guy in me..

12 channels worth so far. They're all the same.

Wow, that is a pretty astounding improvement.

1. There will be another run of Mjolnir 3 so we can have 230V compatibility. The current run probably has 2-3 weeks left before it's out. The next run is 8-10 weeks out. We're still investigating silver; not sure on that one yet. Call it a maybe.

Hopefully silver works out as I'd be on board for that.
I dont need a new amp, so that is honestly a deciding factor for my purchase as all my other Schiit gear it would stack with is silver. Even happy to take it with a "you should maybe point a fan at it in the summer" disclaimer.

I will show it since you have an interest, I am getting caught up on a few things and I hope to build something for those whom I have never built before. As I approach a bit of a milestone (50,000 likes) I will see what I can do for a few of you. It is in my nature to always be working on something. I have a preference for shipping inside the continental US.

And here I am in continental North America...

The problem with trying to cool off a pure Class A amplifier is that they are designed to run hot. So when you attempt to cool them down with a fan, they just work harder to run at the same temperature they were designed to run at. I learned this with a Classe DR3 VHC I owned several years ago which was for all intents and purposes a pot belly stove.

NOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!! for me Christmas starts on Dec 24th and ends on Dec 26th - honestly

No kids, eh?

Yes but if the balance control is on the EQ then you can put only those boosted or cut frequencies more on one side or the other.

Are you suggesting each frequency has an independent balance control? That way lies madness! Or more accurately, pro gear. Definitely available on the creation side of audio, never seen it on the consumption side.
