    Schiit Magni 3 Distortion?

    I noticed that the Schiit Magni 3 has some distortion during the first 30s after startup. My regular setup, using the Schiit Bifrost 4490 as a DAC, uses the HeadRoom BUDA as an amp and I've never heard this before with it. Stranger yet after 30s I restarted the Magni 3 and the distortion is gone...

    Angele Dubeau & La Pieta: Game Music Artifacts

    Do any of you own this album on CD?   If so does it contain the same artifacts that I hear in iTunes and on Amazon?   This album is a true masterpiece, but the artifacts from itunes and Amazon make it almost unbearable.   Artifacts heard at location(s):   Halo 3: One Final Effort ( at 6...

    Grace Design m903 vs Other DAC

    Anyone out there prefer another DAC over the Grace m903 they own / have tested?   I really appreciate the ability to control the output volume on each output of the m903, but the DAC chip may not be the best sounding chip.  I see no measurements for the m903 DAC side so it is hard to compare...

    Upcoming Band: The Silent Comedy

    I was checking out my music library and stumbled upon a band some of you probably have not heard of.  They are the The Silent Comedy and are a mix of folk and rock.  I think they are on tour in the US so if you keep an eye out they may be in your area.   Anyone else heard of this group?

    Headphones that Pair Extremely Well with the Balanced Ultra Desktop Amp ( BUDA )

    My current setup consists of a Grace Design m903 ( DAC ), running balanced outs into a BUDA ( Amp ).  I currently use a pair of single ended Denon AH-D2000 headphones which honestly sound ridiculously good out of this setup.  I experience a little fatigue with the sealed AH-D2000 and am looking...

    Alternative Planar Magnetics / Orthos

    I have had experience with many great sounding headphones.  This includes anything from the LCD-2 Rev 2 and LCD-3 to the STAX 009 paired with the Blue Hawai amp.  The issue I have with the LCD products is primarily their weight and fit design.  The latest batch of LCD-3 headphones very closely...

    NPR Covers CD vs Vinyl: The music experience

    I found this over at NPR's site and figured I would post it for everyone here.  They give some actual examples of playing a track from CD and then compressing it.  They then invert the compressed file and add it to the original track.  If the two tracks are exactly identical the resultant would...

    Ali Farka Toure   I am not sure how many of you out there have heard of Ali Farka Toure, but his stuff sounds amazing both with home stereo gear and on headphones.  If you do some research at least one of his albums was recorded using a portable studio in Africa that was no larger than a...

    Beyer DT990 ( 250 Ohm ) amped via Grace m903: The loss of bass and sound stage

    I have enjoyed my closed AH-D2000's through the Grace m903 for some time now, but wanted to investigate open cans for two reasons.  The first of which is to find a can with a nice sound stage that can image well.  The last is to find an open can that is super comfortable that compliments my...
