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

You should be aware that Zu allows their "full range" drivers to run all the way into cone break-up mode, about which John Atkinson said:

"the Zu Soul Supreme's cumulative spectral-decay or waterfall plot (fig.7) looks awful, with a significant resonant mode at 2.8kHz—that accounts for Herb's presence-region rise—and hashy-looking delayed energy in the top audio octave."


That's very interesting and good to know. I want to make sure I understand, what is cone break-up mode? Is that the point of audible distortion when a driver goes out of it's natural optimal range?

  Interesting, i was considering the same set-up. What speakers are you using?


I have a pair of B & W DM604 s2 speakers. They sound very nice with the Rag, yet I am looking forward to hearing them with the headroom that the Vidar's will offer.

Merry Xmas fellow Schiit-heads !!!

It lives !!! Freya is finally alive on the website !!!

Be still my heart. It is so pretty !!!

A question(s) for the Schiit guys:
do the single ended and the balanced outputs work simultaneously? Can you control volume for 2 amps
at the same time ? Also are the balanced outputs -6db ?

Bests

I got the Fulla 2 on its launch day, I mainly use it for PC, tried to use it with Android recently, doesn't work, contacted for a replacement unit, and they said since I was out of the 15 day return period no cigar... lol  sometimes its best to go with chinese companies I guess, at least Amazon, etc I have less of a risk with. oh well, not a huge deal since I use it on PC 24/7 anyway

Sure your phone supports USB audio?

Might be your phone as well. I had problems connecting my phone to a mojo but it worked flawlessly with a modi2u. Had to borrow a phone to audition some cans with the mojo..

Good thinking, I will give it a shot with a few other phones and get a better answer ^^  I also own a Fiio K1, so I can test it that way as well.

From the user manual: "IN NORSE MYTHOLOGY, FREYA IS A GODDESS ASSOCIATED WITH LOVE, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, seir,war, and death."


It's interesting that war and death are both associated with feminine characteristics. It's a known historical fact that most Conquerors (Genghis, Kublai, Attila) were mainly in it for the sexual conquests.

Seir must mean immortality.

Enchantment works, too.

Freya accidentally fell in the shopping cart. I was trying to delete it and hit submit instead. What a travesty. Actually was playing music through the 2 channel rig yesterday and got tired of adjusting the volume on the Valhalla 2. Freya has been in the master plan since its announcement.

I was considering the same set-up (Freya/356 BEE) which speakers do you have?


I have Legacy Classics. They are 4ohm, 4-way bi-pole speakers. Frequency response is 22hz to 30k. In their day they were fantastic. Once I get Vidars (I have Yggy and Freya is ordered) the speakers will be the weak link. The NAD is a very clean integrated, I don't have many issues with it so I think the Freya and 356BEE is a smart combo. Even with a 4ohm pair of speakers I have never found myself going past 50% volume.
