    Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    I think the issue is that you are comparing PC usb>MScaler(via bnc)>Schiit Gumby to PC usb>Schiit Gumpy, and you could be hearing the difference between the USB and BNC inputs of the Schiit dac. I don't know which USB version you have in your Gumby, but that could be a factor as well; there was...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    I applaud Chord and The Chord Cable Company for going this route. As someone who is in a similar industry, where local retail shops are a key component brand success, the fact that Chord is putting an effort in driving consumers to local retailers speaks numbers, especially for UK residents...

    Audeze Mobius Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    What makes it even better is that Dongguan is in the Guangdong province. :wink: Contributor 9xx here, "Be The Early Bird", located in the US, also received tracking this morning in my spam folder.

    Massdrop x Airist Audio R-2R DAC: A Discrete Resistor Ladder DAC For $350

    You forgot the /s again. This is obviously a volatile subject currently, but there is definitely a difference between manufacturing something within a product category vs releasing a product within said category that has obvious unique structural or conceptual similarities to a previously...

    CustomArt FIBAE Impressions Thread

    Accurate description. This purchase is my reentry into into the iem world. Short story - I am blown away: these little handcrafted pieces of art have far exceeded my expectations. Had some mid level sures 8-10 years ago or so for prior reference purposes. Currently listening out of two systems...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    @superuser1 I was not commenting on the r3 unit itself in any way. I don’t think they were aiming for cheap in at all as far as the unit goes. Never said anything like that. With multiple colors coming out for the unit itself, what other singular color besides white is the most neutral? White...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    @ballog but the white case IS the milk in your comparison... Regardless, @superuser1 an opaque color is easier/cheaper/more consistent to injection mold. Simple as that.

    Schiit Owners Unite

    Do your tubes a service and turn off your amp man! There is no reason to leave it on for more than around 12 hours. Burn it takes time. Be patient. Don't rush it.

    Forza AudioWorks Impressions Thread

    I can only piggyback all the great things said about Forza here. Just got in a Noir Hybrid HPC cable terminated in a 4pin XLR for my hd-650s to pair with a Gumby->Liquid Carbon and can't speak enough on how big of an upgrade it was over the stock cable. Beautiful craftsmanship and sound...
