    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Jason, So I’ve been reading the book… Just spit out a nice Cabernet all over myself and our couch while reading the Stupid CES Story. My phone screen is still sticky as I type this. Thank you.

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    Honestly, I'm kinda curious how the Mjolnir sounds when running with such active cooling vs. a normally passive cooled. MOSFET's and other devices have different electrical properties based on the their temperature as any spec sheet will tell you. I have no idea if those differences are...

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    I'm aware of the comments you're referring to. At launch, it there was only black (which is quite common with Schiit nowadays since it's cheaper and has a more consistent finish). People asked for silver and Jason said he'd have to test to see if that hurt the thermals enough to make it not...

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    I'll state another fact: If Schiit thought it needed a fan, they'd include one in the box.

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    Not sure if this is interesting to anyone else, but I designed a 3d printable cooler/fan shroud for the MJ3 for those of us who place it in more enclosed spaces and would like to keep it cool. Even with fairly little airflow and no noise due to the low fan speeds, I'm seeing about 30F reduction...

    Feliks-Audio EUFORIA - A Wolf in "Sheep's" Clothing...

    Okay... gonna say the tubes just needed more time to warm up. Maybe a function of being an OTL amp makes things being more sensitive to fully warmed up? Never needed that long on my WA6SE or WA22. Either way, going back to the same track (Soen / Savia) which was giving me a headache before...

    Feliks-Audio EUFORIA - A Wolf in "Sheep's" Clothing...

    Welp, my new-to-me Euforia has entered the building. This is used, so the tubes aren't new anymore, but not sure if the stock tubes (guessing it's the PSvane from my experience) are going to work for me at all.... maybe they need more time to break in or warm up? Having issues controlling bass...

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    Your software is doing the MQA core decode? That would result in 24bit/88.2kHz as I understand it.

    Help picking up a second dac...

    Why do you want another DAC? Or put another way, if there was something you could change about the Bifrost2, what would it be?

    Single or double sided? Were you using higher output tubes like the 5998?

    Feliks-Audio EUFORIA - A Wolf in "Sheep's" Clothing...

    I'm personally waiting for my Euforia to show up, so I can't give you a definitive answer, but I can say this: "matched tubes" are rarely perfectly matched. And I've never heard anyone give a clear definition of what "closely matched" really means. Basically, if you already have the tubes...

    Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice

    Finally decided to thin the herd. Don't really have room for my WA6-SE anymore since I've upgraded to the WA22. Including a large selection of tubes to kickstart someone's tube rolling journey in the classifieds.

    should be the same AFAIK. Only significant change was the pre-amp outs on the Gen2.

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    Not sure if this is a used Qutest or a new one, but if it's still under warranty, I'd probably send it in now- solder joints don't fix themselves. That said, if it's out of warranty and it's working now... well, then enjoy it until it becomes a more serious issue.

    What book are you reading right now?

    Just finished Drood by Dan Simmons (Hyperion, The Terror, etc). Falls under historical fiction/horror- the story of the last years of Charles Dickens, told through the eyes of his good (at times) friend and fellow author Wilkie Collins. Would give this 4 out of 5 stars, just because I felt the...

    Welp I've read far too many pages of this thread and just pulled the trigger on a slightly used Euforia AE. Thanks to all for all your comments and thoughts. Looking forward to placing it next to my WA-22 and comparing how the same tubes sound.

    Woo Audio WA22 Amp Owner Unite

    Another +1 for using high-Z with my ZMF VC and Atrium. Definitely sounds better than the low-Z setting on my WA-22. Generally speaking, most people from I've read here and elsewhere tend to prefer the high-Z output on an amp with 300ohm headphones like the ZMF dynamics and low-Z for things...

    Definitely everyone's ears are different and we all care about different things, but I find myself coming back time and time again to the USAF-596. Found it a very nice upgrade over the stock tube.
