Much better with kangaroo and crocodile meat with carrots and celery.

Hunting season just ended for kangaroo, but maybe I can still land a Croc...!

Only if you're Crocodile Dundee otherwise you'll be fresh meat for the crocodiles and they will love it while listening to BF2 and MJ2. It's multi bites !!!

Total silence when I say multi bites. What's the matter? Do your prefer delta sigma? Or is that Delta Force signal?

As for me, I'll take Mike Moffat's Yggdrasil any day and any night.

There have been a few posts critical of this review. To my untrained ear, the review follows the pattern of most reviews, both in media and by happy campers on this thread.

He characterizes the sound using the same mix of terms (sound stage, separation, bass, mid-range, bright, soft, etc.), compares it to two other amps, it's older sibling and another significantly more expensive, and an array of headphones at different price points and styles and with variety of music.

Unless you go all ASR on it, what else is there.

It was unfortunate that he chose to do the comparisons, apparently exclusively, using the internal DAC's instead of using a consistent analog source. In the end we don't know if it's the multibit card or the amp itself that sets it apart. Something he acknowledges but does nothing about.

I'm not defending or criticizing the review, or Mr. Guttenberg, in general but I wonder what folks want or expect, more than what was in the review.

Of course, the best review is Jason's product announcement chapter!

Ultimately it’s an opinion. A subjective review. Take it for what it’s worth. The only way to know if it sounds good to you is to listen to one yourself.

Did the coaster go out of style there by chance? Just saw it's not on the website anymore... Was a whimsical little thing.

I want to see a review where suddenly crap is coming up. You where the reviewer is honest and fair but comes to the conclusion the product is really bad. Can’t remember the last one I saw or read...

Just promotion videos for the reviewer and for the product. No problem, but don't call it a review. Not helpful in selecting gear at all.
As @Derrick Swart says you need to be critical and go one step further to be helpful.

There wasn’t total silence, but the sound of many groans didn’t translate into text

It's not a rotational issue. The problem for USA residents is that whatever you start playing now you'll have to listen to yesterday since it's already tomorrow there.

So is that the mother of all time-based errors? I wonder if Unison corrects for that?

LOL! It's obvious that Jason needs to start working on a time machine. Silver and black chassis options, of course.

I spent nearly as much on the sound in my first car in '83 (a '73 Toyota Celica) as I did on buying the car.

I used to have a rule that the car stereo had to cost more than the car. That led for instance in the 1980s to a $1200 Valiant convertible with a $1600 Sony/JBL/Bazooka rig. Had to play loud to drown out the rode noize!

As a teenager in the late 70's, I tried to install a "modern" car stereo into my 1967 MGB that had a positive earthed electrical system. It didn't go well.

I paid a pro to do the install in my 74 1/4 MGB.

I had a 86 Ford Escort I paid $1200 for. Spent $2000 on a Pioneer system with four 10” subs. This was in 92’. Never had any rust on the car, the bass knocked it all off!

I think that the selection is also an issue in a world with few bad products. Especially you to beers prefer to be positive than negative unless you’re watching a nagging channel I’ll guess.

Not much actual crap left on the market. Chips and technology are so integrated and mature even the cheapest Chinese designs should sound ok. Not great, but not crap either.

Speakers, OTOH, wow. Just listen to $30 desktop speakers if you want crap. But they won't be reviewed by audiophile publications - no point.
