Holy crap, didn't notice.


Logical fall out from hyperbole / current sad state of affairs: lots of highly resolving DACs with delta-sigma sound -or- gooey / soft PCM1704 shit. This situation is a familiar conundrum with DAC searchers today.

In any case I think [reDACted] might be a great name for a DAC.

Just guessing here ... a trickle down cheaper version of the Iggy with gen3 USB implementation for a more 'Schiit-ty'* price ?
At least I hope so.

I also wondered what a 'Resososnessence' is in the chart .. I do know 'Resonessence' though  ;)

* (assuming a Schiit-ty price is a LOW price and thus not shitty)

I think everyone is assuming it's Gungnir with USB 3 and multibit trickle-down.

A request: any of the Geek Pulses, particularly the Xfi.

I'm going out on a limb and guess they will stick with the USB 2.

And I'm going to go out on a limb and say Anax places the Xfi slightly north east of the Gungnir. I have both the aforementioned DACs and the Xfi on FTM sounded that way to my ears.

The xfi in my opinion needs the LPS. Without it it is held back

The case is small so I may have to cut holes, but I'm thinking of upgrading the transformer in the LPS4 to see if there are more gains.
