Nope. Not gonna do it. Not gonna buy this to replace my Loki OG. Uh-uh. No way. I'm gonna wait for Loki Max.

Maybe I'll just go to Schiit.com and peruse their site for a little bit. No harm in doing that, right?

Nice! The Loki original is great! This makes it so easy to fix minor signature flaws in your chain.

Now we just need a fully balanced Loki to stack with the Gungnir/Mjolnir

Omg when is the loki max coming out? Lol

So curious about this one!! My Gumby/Mj2 stack will be around for ever. Love it. A Loki to go with it would be the cherry on top for sure.

Cool. I can’t wait for Lokiest (whatever-it-shall-be-named) to put in my two-channel system. As much as I love my music room, imperfections abound, and the thought of quality remote control EQ has me grinning ear to ear.

In the meantime, I need to decide whether to get the Mini+ to replace the one in my headphone setup, and gift the original to my son. I mean he is going off to college in the fall and needs a proper system for the dorm, right? (Oh the rationalizations one uses for new toys!)

As the #1 barker for the Loki Max — you’re all welcome (when it hits)

Don't do me like that.... Don't.
Is it a 2021 release?

1.5H is a choke not just an inductor! Sounds like a cool product, looking forward to it.

Jason, thanks for the update information on the new Loki Mini+

I have been contemplating the Loki Mini for a while.

The improvements just made my mind up, especially the black option.

Just ordered and am looking forward to making improvements to my system!

I for one would actually prefer the "Goldilocks Loki"...

• The size of the Lyr3 / Jot / Saga.
• Don't care about balanced
• Need to see more details on the Loki Max crazy bells and whistles --> I am guessing I would not need half of them!
• Price 5x (instead of 10x) that of the Loki Mini+

Basically, a subset and cost reduction of the Loki Max!
I hope @Jason Stoddard is listening

Transformer rolling?

I was wondering who the new guy was who posted the chapter, gonna have to get used to the new profile picture!

 

[Mizicke5273]

Bring on the baddest Loki you got! I'm ready; my cash is set aside.

I had to yank the BF2 from the bedroom setup but spent the day listening using the SE outs through the Freya S and Vidar. With the universal caveat that listening is so individually subjective, here’s my impression: Both are wonderful DACs but I have to say there is no beating Yggy. The biggest difference is the width and breadth of the soundstage, better three-dimensional imaging of the instruments, subtlety of attack and decay. The Bifrost had a more forward presentation.

Is Yggdrasil worth the price difference? Could I quantify it to be $1,750 better? I think such comparisons are impossible to do. That said, Yggdrasil is better, whether you use SE or balanced, and by the end of the day I missed it. All that said, I still find it remarkable that BF2 is so good at the price, and in a remarkably compact size. Yggy is large and that always has to be a consideration, though for two channel setups that’s usually not as much of an issue.

Props for doing that. Thank you. It is indeed the $1,750 question.

I wish @Jason Stoddard would comment whether Gungnir 2 is on the horizon (or not), available in black. Or whether Schiit is going to put out a more compact Yiggy with über SE-outputs that aren't in an way gimped; priced like the Chord Qutest (but providing Schiit sound).
