Got my first HomePod. Sounds like schiit next to my airmotiv 4S fed by bifrost and mjolnir. Another is coming but not going to see my living room rig challenged

why would you do that? Running out of coffee?

Oh I was too cheap to spring for the $2.5k speakers that @Ableza recommended. And they would be hard given the weird geometry of the kitchen.

Get a pair of Genelecs.

Lol I have all the speakers I need! San Francisco apartments are not huge!

Is your apartment larger than a refrigerator carton, or weren't you willing to spend more than $4000/mo?

 

[bosiemoncrieff]

The apartments are coming down in price because of the pandemic exodus - much more of the service sector than tech, despite the well publicized stories about tech workers working from idyllic cabins - but still are not what one would call affordable.

I can perfectly understand a MQA boikot, but negating DSD is bad for the company, I am interested on schitt products, modius, magnius and the new joutenheim, but no dsd on the dacs it's a no go for me really. shame.

Far more people use mp3 than DSD

 

[tincanear]

if you want DSD, then check online auction sites for the original Loki (not the tone controls aka "Loki mini"), but the DSD DAC that was discontinued years ago.

 

[Yethal]

I could not even think of a more poor, simplistic and stupid argument than that really. It didn't sold, but it was because of the DSD option of course, LOL. And then all the rest of cheap topping smsl denafrips, etc DAC's that sell a lot and have DSD?

Yes, that's exactly what happened. Loki was a DSD-only dac and nobody wanted it. As for topping smsl etc Is their only selling point the fact that they support DSD?

I think for some/most it is. It fills all the checkboxes to make it truly buzzword compliant. No DSD, no sale, just like 32/384 DXD and MQA.

For some people probably but I was referring to the counterpoint provided by the previous guy that if nobody cares about dsd then why do dacs that list it as one of many supported technologies sell
