@Jason Stoddard if you threw a toroid in a vidar 2 would it improve the sound in any way?

@Jason Stoddard what do you think about a smaller form factor CD Player that is a top loader and cheaper than the URD? Just love watching those discs spin...

Skoll!!! The bass, the dynamics, the airy highs. Oh my, the 3D soundstage and imaging! I was blown away with a Mani 2 last year, but this is on another level folks. Best four hundred dollars in analog audio? Could be...needless to say I'm having fun today. Thanks Schiit Audio for providing such...

@Jason Stoddard, curious if there is an update to Modius in the works?

Great work on the review and vinyl rips! Much appreciated! I listened to the flac files for the comparison. It was quite striking just how much quieter the background hiss was on Skoll compared to Mani. Incredible! I would buy it on that feature alone. Overall, though, I think I like the mani 2...

Would love to hear a couple ADC samples through the tascam. What I need to do?

Any Skoll impressions yet, or we still waiting for the first unit to ship? I have a Mani 2, so looking for differences purely related to sound quality (don't need balanced, so don't want to pay more for that if I don't need to)

Maybe if we can keep the the price the same as one Tyr, but space is also an issue for me so a stereo amp would be better.

I'd love to see a stereo amp from Schiit with XLR inputs and a choke. Something along the lines of a less powerful Tyr but stereo XLR. Doable?

Wow! That was quick. Thanks Jason!

Any news on the Skoll today?

Are there any pics of Urd yet?

Lmao

Why is Jason working on golf stuff?

That review was very confusing. I do see that T.M. Noble is sending another transformer (due to bad part) so perhaps a re-do is in order.

Review up on ASR for Mani 2: https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/schiit-mani-2-review-phono-stage.31194/ I worry about the mains noise really hurting the SN ratio.

ohhh, nice! that was a great unit and a lot of people don't want to deal with tubes. I hope he makes it permanent.

Any chance of the Freya S coming back?

@Jason Stoddard - For the new phono I would like to see it built specifically for MM as good as that type can get with no option to do MC on the unit itself. I don't know the electrical theory but from what I've heard it is hard to build a truly great MM/MC all in one that excels at both...

I have a feeling trying to mass produce a precision device to the nth degree like a great turn table should be would be the ultimate exercise in frustration and gnashing of teeth. I wouldn't blame them one bit if they decided to ditch it. Would be a sad day, though...

Besides the gadget and the transport (definitely at the top of my list), I am excited to hear how you have spiced up True Multibit....oh yeah and that insane phono-preamp.....what's going on with that one??

You're right. Jason probably knows nothing about it.

Jason's been quiet lately. I hope that means that he has been working non-stop around the clock to bring the gadget out before Christmas. lol. (Probably just talking time off for the holidays. I guess Jason's entitled to a few days off ;) )

@Jason Stoddard is the gadget the dynamic range extender, or is that something different?

Anyone know if it's possible to have Amazon music HD send a bit-perfect signal to an outboard DAC without getting molested by the Windows operating system?
