Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs
gdnrbob - You are very welcome. I think I posted comments previously on another thread too. In my O-pinion, there's an advantage to having lived with the non-MB version for a while and becoming familiar with it's "sound" and then doing the upgrade subsequently. Hopefully you will be as "knocked out" as I by the improvement. Money well spent (and I am the poster-child for "frugal"). Good luck. I'll be interested in reading your impressions when you get it done. |
@jayctoy Glad things are working out. You do what you are comfortable with, of course but FWIW I leave the Gungnir on 24/7. Apart from the very infrequent need to unplug it briefly for a move or whatever, it's been on for months and months...years even. I tend to leave all my solid state gear powered up but muted and/or volume turned all the way down when not in use. See post #874 on this thread... https://www.head-fi.org/threads/new-schiit-ragnarok-and-yggdrasil.667711/page-441 |
@jayctoy Yes, glad to read things are working out to your expectations. That said, my personal belief is that the Schiit DAC products do *not* need the extensive burn in period that most users typically report. It could be that your perception of it "getting better and better every day" is nothing more than your getting used to the sound. Nothing wrong in that though, as my experience is that the sound is terrific, authentic, etc. |
