I’m neutral on Schiit, they make some good and some bad.
Which one is "bad" for the money, and what betters it for the same or less cost?
Cheers George

@georgehifi In terms of transparency, all their MultiBit DACs. Since Schiit even states their $100 DAC is their best measuring one, I wonder if they truly believe in the Yggy for instance, or if they just wanted something to appeal to those with large wallets that don’t understand how digital audio works, same with NOS vs OS, or the premise of DSD or MQA; trying to sell improvements to things that don’t need improving. Take note I am referring to them as poor based on their measured performance for the money, as I doubt it has audible colorations/distortion/jitter. |
Like I said before, and all your answers have led to it, and not proved otherwise. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1723336 |
@georgehifi How am I anti a company for simply stating that they have certain products that measure worse than the competition, while also praising some of their other products for good measured performance? Am I anti Mercedes for stating flagships from Genesis and Kia give you better bang for buck over the S-Class? |
smrex13 mentioned the Nuforce STA 200 above, and it is the amp tomic referred to, as me being a fan. If memory serves me, your Vandy 2 Cs allow for biwiring, as I know Richard Vandersteen believes very much in the concept, as do I and others like tomic. Have you biwired them with your current amp ? If not, I would try that 1st, before anything else. If you notice a difference, and if you do, hopefully for the better, you might consider passively biamping your Vandys with a pair of STA 200s, $ 499. each, from AA. Or maybe you may like your amp again, at least until you upgrade the preamp. Depending on how you go, I would suggest passive biamping, vertically, meaning both channels of one amp is dedicated to one speaker. Just a preference I have always preferred, when using a pair of the same amp. Although I have owned, and am familiar with Vandy, tomic is definitely the Vandy guru guy for sure, based on all of my readings and followings here on the Gon. Just some thoughts. Enjoy ! MrD. |
