@Jason Stoddard You think you could sneak by Mike's desk and grab that new cheap DAC prototype that sounds waaaaay better than it should for the Schiitr?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

(Nothing exists until it exists, sorry. Even if something is promising, it may have a TON of dev work before it becomes a product. Hell, I thought I'd be able to do a Nexus EQ a while back. Nope. Wrong. Maybe this will be like that too. Maybe it won't. But as of right now, it's not a product.)

Mike talked about it over in his thread...I'll see if I can look it up

That may be Jason's way of politely saying "Hell's to the No's"!!

If the BF2 does not win, I don't want to know. I just hooked mine up like 30 minutes ago...

Okay, sarcasm didn't work.

So: no, non-products (that may never be products) will not be part of this comparison.

[sarcasm] How about the original Loki?? [/sarcasm]

Hey guys, here's the official announcement:

SchiitrMeet October:
Delta-Sigma vs True Multibit Blind Test

You asked for it: a DAC face-off between Delta-Sigma and True Multibit. So here you go. We'll be pitting the AK4490 DAC module against our True Multibit module, to keep things as closely matched as possible. If you want, we could also throw in a Modi 3 and a Bifrost 2 as well. And yes, we'll be matching levels precisely...heck, maybe I'll bring an Avermetrics.

So, join us for a blind DAC challenge this week, and let us know what you think:

The Schiitr
22508 Market Street
Newhall, CA 91321

Thursday, October 10
6PM-10PM

As usual, I'll be there, and I hope to see you there too.

All the best,
Jason

I’m curious to see the results of this!!

There are way too many sarcasm-and-satire-challenged individuals on teh InterWebz.

Distortion artifacts being much more desirable in a guitar amp than in a hifi one,.

Depends on who you talk to.

I thought the Schiitr meet is comparing the Multibit and AK4490 Gen 2 modules in suitable host head-amp (being used as preamp???) or maybe in a Ragnarok 2, and not against Bifrost 2.

I have an original Bifrost Multibit to even-swap you for Bifrost 2 if you prefer the sound of Bifrost OG better

@Jason Stoddard are the module DAC's being auditioned in Asgard 3, Jotunheim, Lyr 3, or Ragnarok 2?

..wish the Schiitr was in Nor Cal (SF bay area) instead....

Most likely Jotunheim or Asgard 3. Either would work fine for comparison.

 

[tincanear]

Most likely Jotunheim or Asgard 3. Either would work fine for comparison.

couldn't a single Ragnarok 2 be used (to simplify the testing), or are the DAC module analog out levels different? in which case two Jotunheim or Asgard 3's would be more representative of a typical application.

As tempting as your offer is -- thanks, but no thanks.
