Schitt Audio Still in business???
Personally I don't believe that you could just simply turn it on with nothing attached and have it burn in completely and thoroughly. I mean yes you'll get some burn in since parts of the DAC will be powered and moving some electricity through it.... 
Schitt Audio Still in business???
Ideally you’d want to have your amps on also actually. You want the signal going all the way through every piece of solder, wire, capacitor, etc. The DAC has small amps/power for the output signal that you want going through it’s paces during brea... 
Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications?
No I don’t want to spend $20 a month for Tidal. Still think it’s over priced. My point is I pretty much have $120 extra a year to spend if I wanted. That’s 120 songs I can buy and actually own forever if I wanted. And also already have all the str... 
Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications?
I'm still on Spotify premium. Which sounds fantastic. But this is what I started doing; I have my extensive play list, but when I find songs that are my favorite and high quality recordings I go and buy the WAV files some place online. Usually $1 ...

They didn't get my my yggdrasil dac out this week. So on Monday that will be over 4 weeks since I ordered. No reply yet on email. And I asked them on facebook a separate question on one of their posts about something and they never replied. I seri...

I just emailed them today and it didn't bounce back. Don't know when I'll hear from them though. From what I understand they have very very minimal staff for customer service.  On Sunday it will be 4 weeks since I ordered my yggy and it still hasn... 
Shiit yggdrasil
I ordered my yggdrasil DAC last week. Excited to get it. I’ll let you know my thoughts on it when it gets here. But sounds like i’ll be blown away like pretty much everyone else is. I usually don’t spend this much on a DAC or buy new, but I made a... 
Tidal vs. Spotify
So after having spotify premium for quite a while now I can say I'm totally satisfied. Search "audiophile" playlists. The first few will blow you away. Just go through all the songs on the list. Most those recordings are nothing short of incredibl... 
Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ?
I think there is more audiophiles than ever. Just not how we traditionally think of them. Most of the newer generations are starting out with headphones. Then they start moving up from there. You can get world class sound from headphones that sell... 
Oregon Audiophiles...
Yeah I'll check it out too gjrad. Should be able to get together with them once in a while when I'm in town. I'd love to come over to your place aldcoll. To far away for me though. Hopefully you'll find a nice group to take you up on it. 
up to $2,500 to spend............
I've been reading a lot about this DAC called the  Schiit Yggdrasil. Completely new type of DAC that is apparently incredible sounding and far better than most anything even far more expensive. There are hundreds of pages of experiences and chatt... 
REGEN by UPTONE AUDIO
I got this last week. I somehow came across it in a google search. Started reading all about the UpTone Regen. Was very Skeptical. Thought maybe it was just for cheap systems. I mean how can something so cheap improve far more expensive gear? But ... 
#8 AWG spade connectors??
I've used those Furez. They are awesome. Pure copper is the best conductor. Don't use anything with gold or any other coating unless it's silver coating. Silver is a great conductor too. And always be careful never to buy anything that is made of ... 
Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables?
You want neutral wires. If there is something wrong with your system that you are trying to use a band aid to gloss over some undesirable sound in your system then it's best to find out what is the offending component and replace it. The wire shou... 
Tidal vs. Spotify
I can't bring myself to pay the $20 a month for Tidal. It seriously needs to be lower or they will never be able to compete and get enough people to stay strong and be able to pay for enough content. So I just upgraded to Spotify premium for $10 (...
