what about a SYS maxi?

 

[AudioBear]

I'm all for that! Better yet how about a pre-amp with both digital I/O and analog I/O? Done right it could eliminate a lot of cables and interconnects. Freya without tubes would helpful since I never want to see another tube.

Just out of curiosity, can you power your HE-6 with your Valhalla? I would have thought that was Lyr and up territory, + probably a Jotunheim via balanced,

I can reach medium volume levels with the dial anything between half and max. It's not ideal and most people would cringe, but the HE-6 came after the Valhalla 2 because I just had to have one, and I haven't had the opportunity to upgrade the amp yet. I use my HD650s on a much more regular basis due to the lack of headroom on the HE-6, which is a bit of a shame

haha!
No more sitting on those nice, warm electronics for her...

She looks like she'd push the electronics off the shelf if she had the strength.

Get the poor creature one of these:

Put in on the window sill and you can be friends again.

 

[Pietro Cozzi Tinin]

I fired up the heating under the window sill.
Now we're friends again.
With some reserves from her side I might add.
I still hope Jason sends me a file of the Big Black Schiit Cat she is so in love with.

 

[wink]

Now here's an improvement a cannot keep secret.
It really works.
Sorry for the dust but I'm in the midst of a renovation.

Wait, don't distrurb that dust - It's genuine certified A grade 100% pixie dust. The only thing to coax all the plankton out of the recording and into your transducers....

....

... and for Costanza, may i recommend one of these...?

That photo got me thinking... what's the largest Schiit stack that you could do with the Modi-sized chassis now?

Throw in a Mani, SYS, Eitr, and for entertainment, a couple of Wyrds... I'm not saying it should be done, but it would be funny to see it.

I was just thinking about this. If I had a bunch of money I didn't know what else to do with, and I wanted to see how big of schiit stack I could get in my setup and have each piece actually doing something, I came up with this.
Sources: PC, CD player, Cassette deck, Turntable
Cd Player -> Modi Multibit
PC->Etir->Modi Multibit->Sys1
Turntable->Mani->Sys 1

Sys 1->Sys 2
Cassette Deck->Sys 2

Sys 2->Loki Mini->Sys 3

Sys 3 -> Magni 3
Sys 3 -> Vali 2

So, by my count, I could have a Schiit stack 9 high for a total cost of $1,110.

Should probably put a Wyrd in between the PC and the Eitr just in case, and to make it an even decastack.

Jason already thought of this when he incorporated a passive and JFET mode. The nice thing about the Saga (and assuming Freya) is that it can be run without any tubes installed.

Of course, the primary reason I bought a Saga (and would upgrade to a Freya) is for toobz and MOAR toobz. But if you don't want to see them, just don't install them and use the alternate output modes.

There is no balanced-se conversion in either JFET buffer mode or passive mode though. I bet a lot of people are eyeing that capability intensely.

There is no “SE to Balanced” conversion when not in tube gain mode. You get “Balanced to SE” conversion in all three available modes.

She looks so forelorn. How can you do this to our beloved Constanza?
