| Speaker distance And that can ONLY be done with a careful long term program of room treatment plus the fabled XLO Test CD speaker placement track IMHO. @geoffkait Hello Geoff. To your point about the XLO test cd, which I then had a follow up with you where you sta... | |
| DVD by Oppo 205 I had a similar question regarding plain old Blu-Ray and the rep at OPPO told me that if all I wanted to do is view Blu-Ray and not any 4K content, then I should stick with my 103 and not bother with the 203 or 205 as there wouldn't be any improve... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions For 75ohm SPIDF connection BNC is the best.Splendid! I take solace in knowing now that my system should only sound "better" if I choose to change connectivity. My RCA connection sounds spectacular (IMO and to me), so I can only just imagine what B... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @david_ten Got it. Thanks. :) | |
| Speaker distance What are the disadvantages of having to little or to much spacebetween your speakers?It will not sound as "correct" as it otherwise *could*. | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... I can say, with confidence, that the Terminator sounds different than and that I prefer it to the Yggdrasil.Hi David. In your opinion/review and preference aside, in what ways do the Terminator sound different to the Yggdrasil? Thanks. | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions You have to do your homework gdhal,....True that. Very appreciative as always of your input, George.Honestly though, I feel I do enough do diligence (i.e. homework). For instance, among certain other things, I did start a post here on the forum se... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions @limniscateThat's certainly a fair response on your part, especially if in your experience you've found that DACs really aren't doing all that they purport to do. As I mentioned to Steve (audioengr), I'm certainly not finished making any further u... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions I agree dacs make a bigger difference than what transports do, Basic dedicated cd transport with a good dac will bring much better results than hi end cd transport with basic dac .I too would have to think and hope so, especially when a DAC such a... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions That dacs make a bigger difference than what transports do, when reading CD's and using spdif proper 75ohm BNC connected coax, as RCA are not 75ohm.@georgehifi Baring false advertisement, why would RCA not be 75 ohm when blue jeans cable states (h... | |
| Low AC Line Voltage Like Erik, my voltage level fluctuates between 116 and 123. While listening it often fluctuates +/- 2V, but I cannot hear any difference nor does my gear complain. | |
| Gumby vs Yggy But seriously, shouldn't a good computer with good software be a "good" source.Yes, it should. Many here on the forum though will site the fact that it isn't necessarily "good enough". However, I personally am in the camp of "relying" upon the Sch... | |
| Gumby vs Yggy @treynolds155You’re very welcome. Shadorne’s suggestion is perfectly valid, and in fact Benchmark does offer the consumer a much better trial period/policy than Schiit.But we’ve beaten the Yggy/DAC 3 comparison to death and ad nauseam, most recent... | |
| Gumby vs Yggy Sorry, thought Gumby implied multibit. I’ve read several reviews comparing the Arcam as being very close to the Gungnir ds so I was actually thinking they mislabeled this as a Gumby. @treynolds155BTW, welcome to the forum! No need for an apology, ... | |
| Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection? Just a FWIW: this response really doesn’t make sense! So I can understand there being some confusion.And, unfortunately, that is a common theme where Schiit customer service and technical support are concerned. |
