| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? Thanks, @mrotino. That information is very helpful. The Onyx is only a month away from being in my system now. I believe I'm looking for the more laid back and slightly warmer sound. I think it'll take a year or so to figure that out. | |
| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? I meant to say I currently have a Metrum Acoustics Musette. Sheesh. | |
| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? Thanks, @relayer101 - I am leaning towards the Onyx because I currently have a Metrum Acoustics Onyx. So I'm pretty sure I like that Metrum Acoustics "house sound." Thanks for the input, though. I did find the manual for the Morpheus, and it seem... | |
| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? Thanks @relayer101 - I've thought of the Morpheus, but I'm put off by the volume control. Do you find yourself using it? Can it be bypassed? I really just want to use my amp to control volume. | |
| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? @rowlandc31 - can you clarify what you mean by "pretty significant?" The Musette I have has DAC1 chips (I think) so even DAC2 would be a huge change. (Also, the DAC3 chips -- pricey!!!!) | |
| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? Thanks, @rowlandc31 - the more I hear, the more I'm inclined towards the Onyx. Of course, I do already have a Metrum Musette DAC that I've enjoyed for about eight or nine years now. | |
| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? Hey, @calvinandhobbes, thanks for the comparison. | |
| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? @yyzsantabarbara, thanks again! You've actually set my mind at ease about the Yggy+ LIM. I'm one of those guys who absolutely dreads getting a super-resolving component. I want more fun! Too often in hi-fi, "resolution" means "Rejoice, rejoice! ... | |
| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? Thanks @yyzsantabarbara. Could you tell me why the musician guy said the Yggy+ LIM is "awful"? Do you find it awful compared to the OG? | |
| Metrum Onyx vs Schiit Yggdrasil? Thanks, @deep_333. I read one user review that called the Yggdrasil "harsh" and "shrill", which is pretty much the opposite of everything I’ve read. It’s good to hear a current opinion. | |
| Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs Thanks @hasmarto. | |
| Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs @agbrace that absolutely helps! Thanks very much! | |
| Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs I managed to check with a Luxman dealer, and their view was that the output on balanced outs should be 4V at most. So...I think I'm going to continue to try to get info from Luxman (though it hasn't been all _that_ long since I asked) and go for ... | |
| Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs In any case -- I thought maybe I could just use the single-ended inputs, but as far as I can tell, their max input voltage is 2.5V, and the Spring 3 has a single ended output of 2.9V. I may just go to plan B and check out the Schiit Yggdrasil. | |
| Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs @nwres Good idea. I was thinking of Hudson Valley HiFi -- assuming they'll answer a support question from someone who is not a customer. |
