@Ableza Hello (again) Ableza. Another question for you if I may. Note that I ask because I am sincerely interested in the unit, and may ultimately wind up purchasing it. Also, I ask the question of you specifically because, while you may not believe this, I trust you.
Ok, enough with the formalities.
My question is having to do with the statement on Schiit's website:
How can I tell if this is really transparent? Do you offer a true bypass?
Yes. And you can use it from the remote. And the output level is matched between processed and unprocessed modes to within 0.2dB (with all knobs on center.)
(1) Have you found the unit to be *completely* transparent when in bypass mode? My assumption is, yes, you have. Nevertheless, please indicate yes/no.
(2) Have you compared bypass mode to non-bypass mode, where non-bypass mode has *all* potentiometers at the midpoint (zero, 12 o'clock, all knobs at the center, etc.)? If so, is there a discernable difference? As I understand it, based on Schiit's statement (above), there
would be a difference, albeit very subtle.
Thank you.
EDIT:
Apologies. I just read your post 4/25/22 1:43PM in which you write:
re: level changes. Interesting that some report this. With my Max, if I leave all controls set to zero I can toggle the bypass switch and hear no level changes.
I haven't read through this entire thread yet
EDIT 2: Ableza, upon searching youtube videos, I question if this unit is named "Loki Max" (Schiit website) or "Lokius Max" (videos). The Lokius Max videos I can find have six bands, however, the front panel does not look *exactly* as depicted on Schiit's website. Do you have any insight into this? If so, please explain. Thank you.
