    New Schiit SYN - Analog Surround Sound Processor

    Exactly. I have a desktop setup and while I'm not so loyal to Schiit that I'm unwilling to try other things, I looked hard for a good 5.1 receiver in this size and found nothing. They're all twice as big and ugly. Anesthetics may sound like a stupid reason to buy equipment, but this is my...

    New Schiit SYN - Analog Surround Sound Processor

    It's the size of a jotenheim and has a headphone amp. Why can't you have surround sound at a desk?

    New Schiit SYN - Analog Surround Sound Processor

    You put that giant Onkyo unit on your desk? Because I searched high and low for a small 5.1 receiver and found nothing.

    SINAD from Optical Source So Bad ESS Chips Cut Out

    So I recently got a Modius E DAC and hooked it into my stack. It cuts out on audio several times a minute. This didn't happen with my older Modi. After a lot of back and forth and RMA'ing a Modius (the new one did the exact same thing) it turns out the optical out from my LG TV is so noisy that...

    Schiit Gjallarhorn objective review

    I see how what I said could be unclear. I meant the Asgard was a full 3 spots on the clock to the left of the A07. I listen to the Gjallarhorn with the Asgard at between 8 o'clock and 9 o'clock which is normal to loud listening. 10 o'clock is painful. My A07 was 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock....three...

    Cute new schiit speaker amps

    They look awesome. And here I was thinking I'd need to resolder some custom runs. I'll try your (much less laborious and cheaper) method!

    Cute new schiit speaker amps

    Meanwhile I bought an Asgard instead of continuing to use my Magnius partly because the Asgard mutes to pre amps when a headphone is plugged in and I couldn't be bothered to reach behind the Gjallarhorn to flip the switch to turn it on and off...

    Schiit Gjallarhorn objective review

    I'm not an audiophile, just an enthusiast so I'll use specific examples. I'm a sucker for the Eagles with the wholly predictable Hotel California off the Hell Freezes Over album being the pinnacle of recorded music in my mind. On the Gjallarhorn, the guitar stands out much better for me. It...

    Cute new schiit speaker amps

    Pardon the noob question, but what RCAs are you using there? I'm trying to find something low profile and extremely short like that for my Modius/Asgard/Gjallahorn stack.

    A little A07 from Amazon while I decided how I wanted the system setup.

    Schiit Gjallarhorn objective review

    Honest question: Does this really matter for the desktop use it's intended for? I have it hooked up to an Asgard 2 and Modius 3E driving my Kef Q150 and the volume dial on the Asgard rarely goes past 8 o'clock. 9 o'clock is for when no one is home and I want to really push the system on...

    Cute new schiit speaker amps

    I guess I fall into that Schiit Ecosystem demographic. Mine just shipped today (Gjallahorn) to sit atop my magnius. I originally was going to do powered speakers for my desktop setup but tried out the ever popular Kef Q150s and enjoyed them. I currently have them plugged into an A07 and they do...

    That's it! Thanks!

    USB Audio Switcher?

    See, I came across a lot of things like that but if you look closely at what it's trying to do, it takes 4 USB peripherals and shares them between two computers. Ergo the switch takes the four ports and points them to one port or the other. That won't work for hooking three sources up to one DAC.

    USB Audio Switcher?

    So I have three USB Audio sources and only one USB Audio port on my DAC. Does there exist some sort of switch box that would allowe to switch between these three sources into the single DAC? Thanks!
