Audiophile general:
Also, can we discuss Schiit audio? I'm looking for some dacs and amps and shit that will be neutral for a studio.
Pic related. What I'm looking at currently. Asgard 2 and Bifrost Multibit
Finally
A place where us non poorfags can discuss and coalesce over how we perceive the superiority of high fidelity sound, produced in it's purest, natural form.
Im enjoying some Jazz with a nice cognac

Make sure to return your thesaurus on time. Don't want no late fees
Why not just go with a Magni and Modi 2 Ubers? Or one of the O2 with ODAC?

Would the Schiit not be neutral?
>>55873630
any recent album you can recommend?

I'm watching Pirates of the Caribbean on mine.

They don't add noise if that's you mean.
>>55873595
get the yggy and dont look back.
>>55873595
I heard they're pretty Schitt.
>>55873758
I'm talking sound signature

Audiophile terms mean nothing to me.

I want the equalization to be flat. No bass boost, no mid boost, no high boost.

It's an amp. Specs are right there on their site.

>>55873917
why dont you just buy monitors for a studio part of the fun of amps is the little big of colour or flavor they add i love the nice warm tube sound that i get from the vincent but because its solidstate aswell its not to warm
Bifrost is basically equivalent to the Modi 2 uber, huge waste of money. Running a Valhalla 1 + Modi 2 right now but gonna replace with M9xx
Im considering upgrading my power conditioning 10k budget wonder what i should get

If your going to drop all that $$, consider the following:

IDAC2
Nothing else
Blows away the Asgard and bitfrost
Class A output stage, anon.
Great DAC. Powers low impedance headphones fine.

>IDAC2
lel
You can't even A/B the difference between the IDAC2 and the Asgard/Bifrost.

Okay I was shilling a bit too hard.
I don't own the bifrost but I've tried it before.
They are both about the same price but you can get the IDAC 2 with ipurifier for $350 from music direct.
The idac2 has a burbrown chip which sounds really nice. Better than the akm found in the bifrost imo.
Bifrost was a bit more neutral, but the IDAC2 had a more musical/funner tune to it. It was a bit more detailed.
Soundstage is much much better with the idac2
DSD support is great, I can play SACD rips natively.
