As I read through the very inventive solutions that people have tried, successfully, I can't help but think this is good general topic for people with real world situations, rooms not designed with audio in mind, partner's who don't really appreci... | |

| A Newcomer to Digital Looking to Upgrade My Dac, Tubes? Ideas? I found a used Lampizator for $3,000.00, but I don't think you can play DSD on it.

As some additional insight into buying the Schiit Mjolnir 2 last year, it was a toss up between the Freya+ and the Mjolnir, I wanted a tube preamp, but I also wanted a balanced (4pin) headphone connection. The Freya+ offe... | |
