Neither is American made as is your preference but are highly regarded for true exceptional quality sound.

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!

I have a Gungnir multibit which was a experiment for a friend who we decided on a Yggdrasil. I think it depends on your long termed intent. If it is to build a much better system over time then I would wait until you can afford to buy a Yggdrasil. If you are thinking this is your final destination, I would do the upgrade. I was a long time skeptic of Schiit… but their performance makes up for their ineptitude in marketing.

When it comes to buying american, Schiit offers the best value for money. BTW, @ericsch Denafriprs is Singaporean, not american 🙂 |
