FLTWS, thanks for that response. It eases my mind about using the Yggy for CD playback. I may have misunderstood the cause of the clicking if it's between sample rates. Appreciate it!

 

[FLTWS]

I'm CD only and have no experience with D/L music but if a playlist is put together that has different sample rates it sounds feasible. You could try and inquire at Schiit, they could probably give you a more authoritative answer.

FLTWS, you're right that I should go straight to the source and talk to Schiit. And let's hear it for keeping the humble CD alive and kicking! I've tried Tidal and am in the process of unloading my vinyl and analog setup. I just prefer putting a silver disc on, sitting back, and not having to deal with a computer or fussing over TT setup. And multibit sounds good enough (even with the Mimby!), I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

Hey guys, looking to find an amp from Schiit's line-up (Magni - Valhalla) or might just get the THX AAA789

i intend to use Mojo as DAC but alternatively, if say the Jotunheim (or another model) has a better DAC, i'm open to that option too

cans i'd like to drive: 650, LCD series , HD800S

thanks all =)

Are you planning on hooking up to SPEAKERS down the road? I have been using a Valhalla 2 with Grado and Beyer cans... but whenever I feel like using the speakers, I really like the ability to use it as a pre-amp, feeding an EL34 tube power amp!

My source is coming from the computer (mostly .AIFFs from CDs) and Bifrost (old generation), and I am super happy with this setup!

Might be worth keeping that in mind!
Cheers!

You might be looking for something a little higher end, but I am very happy with my Asgard 2. Owned it for years and it consistently performs well under a variety of circumstances and from different sources (from fiio mobile sources, to using my micro idsd black label as a source, to my modi 2 uber). I would recommend it if you like solid state stuff; it's definitely not warm sounding to my ears. That said, it's not overly detailed or clinical either, and it's certainly not "cold" sounding. It's a good all-rounder, and it's priced right.

hey thanks guys,

no i don't intend to use speakers. ideally i like my music true to what it was recorded or how it was intended to sound. it's either i spend more now on the amp or dac or just go straight to higher end cans and use my mojo w it for the time being (leaning towards this).

Just the surface noise.

This stack of Schiit has been gradually building up on my desk...

Schiit EITR (hiding behind the guitar strap) ->
Schiit Modi Multibit ->
Schiit LOKI Mini ->
Schiit Saga ->
Schiit Lyr 3

heh, the white led's make for a nice lens flair effect! cool pic!

Schiit Amp especially Valhalla 2 with Chord Mojo is going to be little bright for 800s. But will sound good with 650 and LCD because of warmer nature of headphones.
My THX will be delivered in May so I can't comment on that at this point of time.

Thanks!

This was an unexpected result (I know nothing about photography) but really like the effect. It draws the eyes to the intended subject of the picture, and away from the terribly fuzzy headphones in the background.

@Focux ... I love my brushed-aluminum Schiit boxes; however, if I had to make a choice, I'd buy better headphones over another DAC or headamp (superior end product [sound]). I've heard good things about the Mojo (it has all those weird and wonderful coloured buttons the the side right?). Let us know what you end up with, eh.

My next headphone will be a planar magnetic. I then have the 'holy trinity': (a closed-back) + (an HD650 )+ (a can with a different driver technology). I'm really satisfied with my two Schiit amps... they allow me to play & mix-and-match!

Oh I see, how about the Asgard 2?

Hahaha I agree w you on the above..

Been off the radar for a while and haven't been keeping up on Schiit. Just saw Ragnarok 2 and Sol are coming out very soon. Schiit, this is going to be an expensive year.
