Actually, I would like to see that

I think questions #1 - 250 will be...
'When will the Android version of the Forkbeard app be ready?'

Oh that's an easy one, I can answer that now: "Ask ACP." LOL!I think questions #1 - 250 will be...

Why not this one? After all, Forkbeard is one of the subjects. And certainly something you can expect questions on.

Regarding Yggy upgrades - will I be able to the USB input card and Forkbeard without going the full Byggy route?
Everything Schiit does is interesting to me, particularly of late.
What I really would like to know is what possible upgrades could look like for Bifrost 2/64.

In fact, ACP should host, answer all the questions and draw the 2 winners!

Maybe next time. This one is from Corpus Christi. I'll be in San Antonio for the next one.

I love filling my hard drives with great affordable music and so I offer this high-value collection from Qobuz of superbly performed and recorded music by pianist Ivan Moravec. 4 discs of Mozart, Haydn, Janáček, and Chopin. Oh, and a wee piece of Debussy.
All for $20. Gotta love that!

In today’s Schiit update: I’ve moved Mimir up to my office today, temporarily functionally replacing Sys and Modi.
THIS is excellent, the Paradigms, while quite good speakers, are fundamentally much more limited than the big rig downstairs. I’m finding the ability of Loudness and PEQ to really come into their own in this setup (where I sit quite nearfield to the speakers on their stands, flanking my desktop at about 1 meter distance.
Mimir kills Modi in every regard that I can discern (and not discern) in this setup (Sony DVD “transport” to Minir to Superphon to Speaks… Loudness at 75% and digital volume at -28.1dB gives me approx 70-75dBA listening levels, but the *life* and bass/treble are more like listening at 85dBA levels; best of both worlds.
Next I will try going from the computer to it via USBC to see how that works.
I have now established that Mimir will have a permanent home. Time to start thinking in earnest of my “big DAC” story/situation: upgrade Yggy A1/OG to Yggy+ in one of the “flavors” there, with no FB… or upgrade to Yggy+ and FB with Singular, or… hmmm… take a left turn on the Gumby lane and sell Yggy? Much to ponder. Much.
But the digital Pre features in THIS system are quite noteworthy. I had to use much higher Mimir gain (-11dB) in order to not start getting what I (convinced myself anyways) heard as some loss of resolution - and at that level, Loudness was more limited/capped. I’m clearly going to have to conduct a LOT more experimentation in the main system, including a true A/B between Yggy and Mimir, but with Mimir’s digital volume set below 0dB and with NO pEQ nor loudness, so as to best determine precise point at which I can hear the fall off in resolution, without being distracted. I also wonder if perhaps this test should be through my Koss ESP’s as they are extremely transparent at low levels.
Anyone else yet experimented to find out exactly what levels can be used before the inevitable resolution loss becomes troubling? And, is this different with headphones than with 2 speakers?
I can’t be the only one pondering these things.

@sixergixer His 1991 2-CD collection of Chopin's Nocturnes is my absolute favorite rendition of those. Thanks for the rec!
