DAC Upgrade
Thinking it's time to upgrade my DAC. Here's the system:
Cyrus CD/t
Belles Aria integrated amp
Fritz Carbon 7 speakers
Schiit Gungnir dac
The Schiit can be upgraded to "multibit" for $500, thus making it an "Yggdrasil Junior."
Is the additional $500 (on top of the original $899) worth it, or am I better off selling the Schiit and taking that plus $500 and going with something else?
FWIW, I like Schiit's business model and that they're a (mostly) California-based company. Also, I'd prefer to buy American wherever possible.
I'll be the first to admit that I find the technical (and marketing) jargon elusive, particularly where DACs are concerned. I listen primarily to CD's.
Appreciate the input!

Sell and get a Musician Pegasus. Schiit may be made here, but where do you think most of the components with which it’s made come from? It’s a global world, and while I like buying American as much as anyone, ya gotta ask yourself how “American” is any audio component these days? To me, at this point it’s more semantics than anything, and I’m loving my $1100 Pegasus. Just my $0.02 FWIW. |
@danto - How do you like those Fritz speakers?? I’ve got a pair of Carerra BE’s - took a few months to break in, but they sound awesome now! |
@jjss49 Fair point. I think the pricing of some of its previous incarnations was still in my mind. |
@larsman LOVE my Fritz speakers. Sound great, easy on the eyes (WAF was key), and Fritz is great to work with. Initially I was thinking that I might need a subwoofer, but between toying with placement and the speakers breaking in, they really have nice presence. Now, just trying to bring the rest of the system up to snuff. |
