Or...a power regulated, noise-reduced reclocked USB DAC for $198.

A random but not unrelated question... Does anybody have a Schiit quad stack? Specifically a Wyrd-> Loki -> Modi -> Magni ? Just curious.
Quadruple stack is where it's at.
Has anyone done a Valhalla 2 vs. Crack comparison? The Crack is lauded as the high ohm champion, but I don't own a soldering iron or other necessary tools. And I really like the Schiit guys.
Pay a bit more but get a warranty and not have to build it. As long as it's a great performer, I'm down for that.
Guys Valhalla 2 or Lyr 2 for Oppo PM-1. They are low impedance planars, just not sure if they are pairing well with OTL.
- Apple Macbook Air -> Amarra -> Wyrd -> Geek Out 450 -> Lyr 2 -> HD800(stock) and Paradox Slants and Noble Switch PR in the R configuration:
In this case, I think there's even more difference. It's wyrd though that the output level seems to be louder when the Wyrd is in the loop. That doesn't make any sense though, but maybe the internal volume of the GO changes when I plug it into the Wyrd vs. the Macbook USB port. The difference is basically the same as with the Hugo, but I think there may be more bass impact with the Wyrd. On the highs, it's definitely smoother and less harsh with the Wyrd.
Anyway, I figure if I can hear the difference, then other more experienced listeners will definitely hear it and be able to describe more accurately the differences when they hear it.
