In addition to what you describe @markkr I have also had Urd go into a weird state where the channels became reversed. So audio stopped or has other glitches. Always easy to reset by either switching output USB > COAX > back to USB or just a short power cycle. But in my experience, the glitch...

I'm not familiar with the RU7. I liked the RU6 in NOS, though had it only on a loaner - not with the Pietus. After switching from the internal Multibit card on Pietus to various DACs, I highly recommend the trying the DAC option. A lot of folks like the ESS, but there is still a synergy...

@LeeJB1970 my experience with the Chord Qutest was the same, and I couldn't find any evidence that the USB input is UAC2. I did have success with other non-Schiit DACs, such as the Weiss DAC204 and Ayre QB-9 DSD, so it absolutely works with UAC2 DACs.

Really cool buyer! Easy to communicate with and paid immediately. Looking forward to any time our paths cross again. Thanks!

Thanks for setting up the meet! My list can always change, but what I'd like to bring today: FV and MJ3 Gungnir Multibit Urd For me, it's mostly about the Urd - curious what y'all hear. Bring discs, but it too can be fed input from USB - or feed another DAC. I'll probably bring a few...

Keep it simple. Item for sale is first generation Jot, a modular (all in one) headphone amplifier. This one is black and includes a USB multibit card, which sells for $200 on its own. PayPal fees and domestic shipping are included. Thank you!

Outstanding buyer. It is a rare occurrence to actually learn something about the audio hobby, and to share a little personal experience during a buyer/seller transaction. No concerns at any point during the sale. A+++

Speakers kind of changes the equation for me. Though I've not used Modi+ for speakers, the foundation that Gungnir (and Yggdrasil) create are phenomenal on speakers. Even Bifrost 2 (OG not the 2/64) lost a little something to the foundation of sound that I heard from Gungnir. I'm also just...

I do have Pi2AES and it is an excellent solution. But for a small footprint option, especially if you just want to flip back and forth between USB and COAX on your Gungnir, the iFi ZEN Stream is a good option, and what I was using to A/B. I'm still trying to form my thoughts on Modi+ or Modi...

@Brubacca there is a certain softening or bloom associated with Unision, combined with the slightly sweet sound of the Gungnir Multibit. I was listening to this exact thing recently and was surprised to hear a little less of that softening by doing what you suggest, connecting to either the COAX...

Outstanding buyer! Very easy to communicate with. Paid immediately. A+++

Mercury / Pi2AES have signals going to all outputs simultaneously. I understand why the iFi ZEN Stream requires the user to select either USB or COAX. I would also assume this is not different on the NEO Stream. My question specific to the NEO Stream, in the Digital mode (not Analogue or USB...

Excellent price! Perfect condition. Packed carefully and shipped quickly. Very easy to communicate!

Assuming you are talking about the most recent Magni+ and Modi+, these have significant updates that should not be overlooked. Modi+ has some recent tweaks to the filter, I'm guessing yet another step in the direction of what is planned for Schiit's in-house future D/S implementation. Magni+...

Unlikely to help @DaveMontreal, but this is the page I landed on when I ran into the same issue. Synology NAS by default requires the user to specify a newer release version of cifs, as shown in the options on the Volumio link below: https://volumio.github.io/docs/FAQs/Audio_Sources.html The...

The core O/S that runs on the iFi ZEN Stream is Volumio (see the section, To sum things up, Volumio is compatible with all UAC2 compliant USB DACs): https://volumio.com/en/volumio-your-new-favourite-audiophile-music-player/ https://www.schiit.com/products/yggdrasil I also linked Yggdrasil from...

It's been an absolute pleasure selling and talking with Elnero. A lot of interesting things about audio, not just the amplifier for sale. Paid immediately and great communication.

I can certainly bring an Emotiva Stealth DC-1, AES/EBU cable, and XLR cable pair. I have not A/B compared this DAC, but it seemed competent (detailed and not bright).

There's a Discord, a personal message thread among a few people, and this. Masking is also a moving target, so the best information I have seen mentioned: https://montgomerycountymd.gov/covid19/ My open suggestion, given this is the first meet back, is to start with masks so you have one...

I'll bring a disc transport, for anyone who still knows what the shiny, plastic, flat, round thingys are 😅 Otherwise I'll have both a DAP and network transport with a variety of music (same music loaded onto each) - network transport will feed ECP Copenhagen. DAP will drive a heavily modified...

Outstanding sale! Shipped quickly. Perfect condition. Seller is highly recommended.

3 and 20 for the ZDS

As folks have commented before, communication was fantastic! Shipping and tracking were prompt. Condition of the amplifier was perfect with all accessories included. Outstanding, and thank you!

Thorough, easy, fast transaction. He packed quickly, assisted with tracking, and was helpful through the entire process. Perfect condition too. Thank you!
