BTW, wish thing from Schiit (or anyone else like LH, etc.) and just throwing it out there:


I want a Schiit Hugo... for $400 instead of $2400. Any thoughts?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by schiit hugo

I'm guessing something as portable, doesn't look like a fruitcake, and isn't overpriced?

PROBLEM: I have three desks (home, lab, my job at non-profit). It's a pain in the ass to move LH GOv2/Magni (or Modi/Vali, etc.) along with interconnect cables, power cables, etc.) to each one of my desks. I also might need to travel to client locations, so would be nice to take along with my laptop. In essence, as my wife says "too many wires".

SOLUTION: Hugo'esque device. Battery powered / USB charged DAC/amp of good sonic quality to power headphones that doesn't cost $2400 and sounds better than Hugo (not lean flat and boring)

OTHER WANTS:
If from LH: Pulsing Firey Demonic Red Glowy stylized "LH" on the chassis.
If from Schiit: Effervescent Plasma Blue Glowy bulb (Loki's Sceptre) on chassis.

My first line was a joke. Yes, we'll deal with that then.

Marv: maybe we can have both.  :boom:

Here's the kicker. Shrink multi-bit reDACted into Hugo sized unit. hahahaha. I'd love to see Schiit do that.

well I'm all for that  :)p1  :)p6 :)p5

Truth: one of the first diy projects I wanna try my hand at, is a transportable tda1541a dac
-4x oversampling
-minimum-soft knee filter built with time optimized algorithms 
-femto'ed
-diamond output buffer (using discrete bipolar transitors) or something similar for the current amplification

the voltage needed for a tda1541a is somewhat similar to a wm8741, but my knowledge is is quite basic I'm still learning about I/V stages, haven't found a good source for digital filters, and the rest is still a pipe dream I don't now how to do it, but this idea is a little far out I got other shit to worry about now.

cavalli's dc to dc converter has me interested as to its utility to power portable devices.

I'm feeling all sorts of stirrings from these recent postings. Just going to keep my mind off of it until Saturday night when I can read the news from you all!
