    Simpler is better. Also, gets you closer to Geinrich Altschuler's (who invented TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem-Solving) concept of Ideality. And that is a good thing.

    Yep, I'm going somewhat of a similar route. I'm going to buy a Lumin P-1 (which is integrated streamer, DAC and preamp) and go straight into the back of the P-1's SFP optical transceiver port via optical cable from the music server in the "remote server room" and connect the P-1 to an amp or...

    Alex at UpTone recommends the Teddy Pardo power supply as a replacement/alternative to the LPS-1.2. For reference, both my LPS-1.0 and LPS-1.2 have also failed me. IMHO, the durability/useful life of this power supply is impacted by the amount of heat it generates, especially when running at 9V...

    I think Norton was just playing it safe. I've found the cable on Amazon, also. Thanks for the reply. Cheers.

    Thanks for the recommendation. What is a "SPC" cable? BTW, Norton Safe Web is giving me a possible scam warning for the Effects Audio website:

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    I have one I can try, but 1) that would only solve the problem for one channel, and not the other, and 2) given how long the split part of the cable is coming up from the "Y", there's no place to actually attach the clip to the garment with respect to each channel's cable after it the split...

    Hi folks, Just got my Campfire Audio Comets this last Wednesday. Really enjoying them so far. The only thing I've noticed is that the supplied cable is fairly microphonic when I'm moving about or walking, specifically from where the cable splits into each channel up to each IEM. So, I'm looking...

    They both make a difference and both are important.

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

    Jason, if you decide to open another Schiitr, the SF Bay Area would be a logical choice: an appropriately affluent and informed customer base, and a very strong audio community. And, not that far from the corporate Mother Ship.

    Well, tell your brother it's pretty dang. cool. Your brother could start a little "cottage industry" business building and selling these racks to Schiit-sters.

    Thats a cool little rack for your Schiit-stack. Who makes it and where did you get it?

    Schiit Eitr impression and USB-SPDIF converters discussion

    Better USB cables, e.g. the Audioquest Diamond and Cofffe make a considerable difference. When I was first started using digital devices, I used some good, but not great USB cables from Kimber (Silver) and Audioquest (Carbon). Originally, I didn't think, that with digital signals, a higher...

    I agree. The AQ Diamond made a significant improvement in sound quality when I added it to my system.

    Schiit Eitr impression and USB-SPDIF converters discussion

    Schiit uses a local (just across the Valley) offsite subcontractor as their "board house". Boards are assembed by the board house and schipped to Schiit in Valencia. It's very likely that the backorder on Eitr was due to the boardhouse not being able to obtain board components from their...

    Schiit Eitr impression and USB-SPDIF converters discussion

    That's great news for everyone having their orders fulfilled. Eitr will be worth it, trust me. Looks like Schiit's component parts that were backorder are now available, and Schiit is building units and shipping them out as fast as possible. This is consistent with my experiences at Schiit; if...

    Sorry, not it wasn't directed at you; I quoted your post by mistake. I was directing my comments to the Schiit Eitr thread participants in general about the realities regarding parts backorder when manufacturing products.

    Schiit Eitr impression and USB-SPDIF converters discussion

    Great news. Schiit wants customers to get their products as soon as possible. OTOH, it's not a good use of their time to spend time answering emails about the details of lead times from suppliers for components and materials deliveries....for one thing, they don't have control over this, and...

    Schiit Eitr impression and USB-SPDIF converters discussion

    Agreed, and this is an important point. Schiit builds and processes orders as fast as they can. I've had then ship orders for in-stock items within hours. What they cannot control, however, is the delivery schedules for their raw materials and components suppliers. If there is a backorder, this...

    Schiit Eitr impression and USB-SPDIF converters discussion

    Its unfortunate that you're having issues with MQA and (possibly) Eitr, but my guess is the problems may be due to an interaction between Tidal/Eitr. Given that Schiit very clearly states their products do not support MQA, one can't blame Schiit for not providing functionality that they...
