Hey all, well it's that time to upgrade again. I poke my head around these forums every now and then and read a little bit but really can never find a distinct answer so I'm just running with this idea. Currently running an eBay Aune with a Genalex tube and AKG Q701s, I think it's the amp/dac that's the weak side on this set up (starting to get a little fizz/crackling in right ear occasionally too what's the deal with that?).
Well I'm ready to spend some more money and I see the Schiit website takes Paypal so I knew I was in luck. I'm just looking for a little advice on what I'm going to be dropping $700-800 on. It's either between the Lyr or the Valhalla but I'm not even sure of the difference, one has more tubes is about it, hah. I'm also going to need a DAC with it and I'm forced into looking at the Bifrost so they will stack on top of each other, but I thought all DACs mainly did the same thing the same way? I was looking at other more discreet DACs but if I'm going to spend $250 on one it might as well be a Schiit right??
So I'm just looking for opinions on what you think, a couple questions throughout. And before you scoff at the Q701s I know when I purchase this combo I'll more than likely be looking for a pair of HD650's. So let's start a conversation.
