Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar


For those interested in great sound, without the hi-priced "glitz" of expensive chassis work, just what counts on the inside.

Oh they did, aye. I would have mono'd them but they're not rated to 4 so I decided to go another route (the cherry). I decided that after borrowing my buddy's @titaniumhead Rowland 525 monos and realizing class d was the way to go on these. Sounds chewy and amazing on d.

I would have mono’d them but they’re not rated to 4

Right, bridging amps into mono is a hoax, all you gain is more wattage, everywhere else it takes a hit.
Less damping factor (higher output impedance), higher distortion, less current ability into low impedance’s, all in all the only reason really to bridge an amp it to have it drive a P.A. system louder.

Interesting.  My Vidar has never gone into protection mode driving my N801s.  I’m selling it, though.  I bought my end-game amp.
