I vote "aye!" on behalf of me and my clan!

My wife and I spent 2 weeks in Scotland just before the start of the pandemic. We've fallen in love with the Isle of Skye and we'll be going back to spend more time there and in the western Isles. It's a landscape photographer's dream.

On a nice day, Skye is the most beautiful place on earth.... If only there were more if them.

Don't believe everything you're told.

I never said that i believed it.

wait, now. With the megacomboburrito filter, shouldn't it have capsaicin?

With all the Schiit flavors available, we should rate them using Scoville units.

Not gonna lie, even after pages of plankton discourse I still don’t understand what plankton is in audiophile parlance. That said, I have a distressing situation. I got a chord mojo2 and the mojo2 dac sounds better to me than my modius e. I think I need to get a bifrost 2/64 or wait for gungnir2 to come out, because I found myself thinking the mojo2 was just…smoother? Not trying to push a non Schiit product in the thread, and for the money I’d imagine a 650 dollar dac had better outperform a 229 dollar dac, but I just wasn’t expecting to hear it. So what do yall think, bifrost time or wait til gungnir2 or something?

If it (or anything else) sounds good to you, use it. Simple.

Non-Plankton setup...

Rad 0's with Modius E and Midgard...wow a wonderful pairing!

As someone who has the Bifrost 2/64 and the Mojo2, they are very close. I think the Bifrost 2 is better but it is only by a little. I think that you get a little more depth to the soundstage and a slightly fuller sound. But I would not look at it as an upgrade, rather a sidegrade. Both are excellent, made by respected DAC designers that value time domain as critical in the conversion to analog. I use the Bifrost 2 in my headphone stack and the Mojo2 in my main 2 channel system. I occasional swap them around.

Can anyone tell me how to block posts that contain a certain word, specifically the expanded form of "p6n"? Asking for a friend, of course.

Since I'm still operating in the past... (only 84 pages behind!) Here's a link from the Washington Post's article on Ken Fritz' system:

$1 Million Stereo System

p.s. - IMHO it was only $1M because the labor was "free"...

I’m not looking to replace the mojo2, I’m looking to upgrade the modius e. But your insight is helpful regardless, thank you

In the electronics world something better and less expensive is always coming.
So, wait until you cannot wait any longer (dead device, windfall, move, what-have-you).

While you wait, audio meets, audio shows and the Schittr or audio dealer can help you decide when to stop waiting.

I'm curious. Have you heard the MMB2? That's not crazy $$$ and might address your need...

Good point. Idk when the next schittr in Texas will be. And I’m not sure which audio shows schiit will have a presence at. Either way I’ll keep checking. Thanks!

Haven’t heard it, was wanting to have a considerable upgrade over the modius e, I hadn’t heard that mmb2 was a major upgrade, but I can be wrong since I haven’t heard it!
