        Can be a scam, those are very common. Check the EU members thread, otherwise maybe the buyer can send to another country within the EU.

      Does anyone know if Schiit is planning to launch Class D power amp in Saga Pre sized chassis? It would be awesome if so.

      Has anyone tried Black Cube Statement phonostage? Curious how it perform against budget benchmark Schiit Mani. :)

      Has anyone tried Saga Passive vs SYS? Thinking to pair power amp with passive pre and not sure if it is worth going for Saga against Sys.

        Another factor I need to be considered is damping factor if I understand correctly. My turntable via Mani output impedance is 75 ohm, my digital source via Dac output is 50 ohm. SYS Input impedance is 10k ohms which has more than enough damping between source and Sys. SYS output Impedance is 5k ohms maximum

        And power amp that I am planning to try is CrownXLS1502 which has input sensitivity .775Vrms or 1.4Vrms and I guess that just choose 1.4Vms and it should be fine since output is not that strong and it will be enough damping between Sys and Power?

      Anyone using Ragnarok as speaker amp? Do not like pre/pow separate hence considering Rag but not sure if it is good choice for speaker. :)

        Depends on the speakers, if they are at least moderately efficient you should be fine. Best contact schiit and see what they have to say about your speakers. No remote sucks though... There are rumors of a new version with remote but nothing substantial afaik.

        It will be LS50. I read stereophile review and it looks very good combo. Yes, Rag has not been updated for long and it is well past due for update version so no surprise if updated version come out soon. :)

        @Cspirou Thanks. Isn't it for ES4SR/ES4XR? I am particularly interested in 3sr/3xr which is budget version (china made) currently on Massdrop. Are they pretty much same thing but one is made in USA and the other in China?

      Taking CDP out of system.. Going for either Vinyl or pure digital streaming. Nothing between. Still need to reduce 4 amps down to 1...

        My stupid rationale is:

        1) I need amps for "normal" and e-stat..

        2) for non-estats, I want a nice friendly tube amp for full attention music listening, and a cheaper to run SS for gaming/general stuff that is less critical.

        Grr!

        @Pyruvate My apology. It was almost midnight here when I typed. what I meant was keeping Turntable and Computer (iMac) and letting go CDP and Streamers. I do not know when was the last time I used CDP and I mainly listen Vinyl or digital source from computer to DAC to amp.. :)

        Good on you. Don't forget to apply this to other areas of your life as well.

        Outside of this "mystery" amp coming out in March, I'm settled. Time to delete some audio bookmarks and move on to other things.

        Give the LS50s at least 100 watts. The NAD 3020 is fun to play with though, I loved mine back in the day.

        @Grahad2 Thank you for the suggestion. I actually had JLH69 and sold it and quite regret it. I might purchase it again. I am actually trying to power Epos ES14 speaker which is vintage speaker. It does not need huge wattage but high current would be preferred if I understood correctly.

        Just like to add that although the suggestions above are perfectly fine, don't think this is as far as the HD650 can go. You will see people here scale their HD650 into systems that cost many thousands of dollars. Yes, the HD650 can be worth it. If you like where the HD650 is in terms of sound character, one could be quite wise to just move the other pieces up the scale and not waste time with other headphones.

        @ButtUglyJeff Thank you very much for recommendation.. Is HD650 better than HD600? I was told that HD600 is better if someone look for neutral signature and HD650 is abit laid back.

        I prefer the HD650 over the HD600, but that doesn't make it a superior headphone. I consider the HD650 more engaging, but that is most likely only because I prefer the flavor. There is a slight treble spike and softer bass on the HD600 that may make someone think its more neutral.

        But I'm hard pressed to agree. I think the majority here would be in my camp.
