@yotacowboy cancelled how? We’re you on a free trial as well, or maybe a 1 year sub?

subscription cancelled, but tracked down a 30 day trial coupon, so no lapse unless this stupid shit lasts into february

There goes your monies.

Hilarious!

Will feel better when my Yggdrasil comes back to me.

I think most of those that I've seen have been carry-overs from the Changstar days that just haven't contributed as much on SBAF

There's no real standard for Friend status except that they are friends. If Marv knows you in real life, he can give instant status.

Fair enough, and makes sense in the case of someone who is known IRL for sure.

If you’re into self-flagellation go read the second paragraph.

Press release on Veterans Day, how touching. Another entry for the wall of shill.

I actually didn’t mind Lavorgna on that site before. At least I could read his stuff without wanting to gouge my eyeballs out. He has a new site now with a really weird name: TwitteringMachines.com
Strange name.

BLASPHEMY!!!

Ok, you're probably right. Why did you have to go use the word flesh? It's kinda creepy. We normally call it meat.

I actually totally made it up. It could be true, makes sense to me which is why I throw it around. I'd apologize for ruining your appetite, but it would be disingenuous at best.

Listening on the JBL, right?

I had briefly considered:

1. Disassembling my rack from the top down

2. The Jaws Of Life

So which one won in the end, Gungnir Multibit a2 or Yggdrasil a2?

Neither of those yet, but I’ve acclimated to GA2 enough at this point to know I prefer it over the OG. Therefore, off she goes to a good home (I hope).

I'd keep the Yggdrasil A2 in a home system purely for the upgradeability aspect. More modular-er than Gungnir Multibit.

That's a great combination. My Vali 2 is on semi-permanent loan to my cousin in Detroit, but I miss it every now and then.

Alice eventually wakes up. Keep some spare tubes and you do not have to end the dream. The tube magic will continue.

How are you liking the headphone rig so far?

The regular non-remastered version is muuuuch better.

Loving this new Hozier track and the whole EP: https://youtu.be/bkUHaz5lY3I

@zonto to your PM about smoothness in the treble, I don’t get that Yggdrasil A2 is smoother than GumBy2. For the stuff I listen to, G2 is warmer and fuller and seems a bit more forgiving on top than Y2, although in a different way Gumby1 did, which is just softer overall. I don’t know that it’s going to soften things on top the way you’re hoping. Y2 is more extended and transparent up top IMO.

To overall impressions, I’ll stick to my initial impressions: G2 is fuller and denser in tone, but also a bit more blunt/dry. Y2 is wetter but also leaner and slightly less forgiving. However if soundstage, layering, microplankton and atmosphere is high on your list of priorities, Y2 wins.

I’ll try to write up a comparison soon and post in one of the Schiit DAC threads, or Torq’s Yggdrasil thread.

I think it would mean what some of his followers have been thinking for a while: Amir IS God!

What if when we die God is just chilling in an eames chair listening to some tunes with a fat DCS stack beside him and he just looks at us with a *nod* and says "....right you were boyos"

^^^ nailed it!!

so you are the lucky fellow that snagged it! People say 3 weeks, but i would say 1 week. I'm stuck at 175 out of 188 for A2 upgrade. fuuuuu....

Just turn the Gungnir Multibit off and leave in the garden for an hour to cool, then it's fair

@Cellist88, I started in a similar position on June 8. I'm now 117/188.

I just joined myself and I know people don’t like it “cold” but even at hour two I thought it was the best DAC I’ve ever heard.

Has Schiit ever explained why this is? I've never heard of this issue with other DAC brands.

Pavane and Yggdrasil 'A' are both grotty in the first few hours. I heard a Soekris board that was cold and didn't like that much either.

My Yggdrasil A was like this too. I remember my wife and I were watching the Friends series on Netflix at the time, and after we swapped in the Yggdrasil vs. the Oppo BDP-105 DAC we were using previously it was crazy how voices sounded. Distortion and clipping, almost like the microphone gain was up too high or something. Smoothed out a bit by the time we watched an episode the next evening.

I already sent the package off but I don't mind taking pics of mine. In fact I might have already taken pics

Also went Modi Multibit -> Gungnir Multibit; the difference was immediately apparent. Modi bought new at end of Feb, wonder if its one of the new ones. :O
