| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? My best guess to the 21 bit question is the utilization of the DAC chips in a balanced pair per channel configuration. Not that in any way changes the chips ability to process the data, but possibly lowers its noise floor to a degree in which they... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? Rounding and truncation are similar, but with rounding being a broader function over truncation in this use. The idea behind rounding in the case of the Yiggy was that either method would increase quant noise, rounding would result a potentially l... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @shadorne The specification in itself is honestly rather vague, which is another gripe the entire industry as measurements must be standardized to permit consumers to compare. Far too many brands take liberties with specifications. Sure, it could ... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @shadorne The ATC's can be highly dynamic, but go ahead and call ATC if you like, they publish the maximum SPL is 117db at 1m, and at typical listening distances will be around 110db or less. Also note, the distortion figures aren't provided but I... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? Yeah, the publication industry and a good deal of the industry have become so oddly slanted, its become the true impediment to high fidelity.One example, and this has vastly greater importance than this bit depth discussion, is the idiotic effusi... | |
| I’d appreciate opinions from RMAF 2017 Show attendees on the Elac Adante AF61 There were a couple of reports that gave the Adante's a best value remark at the show. There were also credible reports in regards to the Tekton Design speakers as being extraordinary as well. Something I will note about these two is novel an uniq... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 If one is taking style with the substance, its at best fair value. Not doubting its a high performance transducer, but a few other speakers would make my shortlist. At that price, I feel others offer more at similar cost. If the European prices, w... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 Actually just had read they will price at $9995 for US customers. The UK and EU pricing is considerably lower, and at that price, I believe they may have pitched this product into too many strong competitors on this side of the pond. Since this pr... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 I doubt the price of the Sopra will increase in relation to this. The differential in pricing is currently five thousand greater with a model of similar specification. Additionally, pricing at each individual tier is based on what the market will ... | |
| Speakers (KEF/Wharfedale/Axiom/ELAC) for my First Budget Setup with Wyred4Sound mINT I would agree on the LS50w route. They can fill a room quite well and bass level is a bit more than you might expect. You can blend a sub in later on, you would have a sound that would be overall more compelling than the options listed thus far. A... | |
| Paradigm speakers Anyone who has seen their product line transition over the past few years could see there has been a change in their operation, and honestly to be expected of any firm. But for a very long period, it was an example of value engineering and build, ... | |
| KEF Blade 2 as replacement for Reference 107/2 There is a very slight compromise in the Blade 2 and even Blade speaker in regards to the point where the bass/mids from the side firing drivers crosses in the UniQ mid driver. Its a small compromise gives in trade an optimized baffle shape that a... | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone Any material used in diaphragm will have properties that require attention to gain optimal operation. Beryllium as an example has very high self damping (stiffness of cone) but doesn't exhibit much internal damping (ability to dissipate excess ene... | |
| Sonus Faber Homage Tradition - New 2017 Line You might have to move up to the Serafino. Similar driver compliment to the Sopra 2, with what appears to be lower bass specification that surpasses them.I had seen the measurements from the big speaker in the line, and it was notably differing fr... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? This particular topic will likely produce some of the most inconsistent responses, with nearly all of them having some validity. The same system with two differing files at the same levels will produce two differing results.First, if the DAC is us... |
