      Can Anyone help me with how to set up a Allo USBridge so I can use it to play files off a local harddrive?

        Have you tried rebooting the system? I haven’t used dietpi in particular, but with other Pi OS’s, a simple reboot fixed things for me a lot of the time.

        I tried with O!mpd and couldn’t get it to work. I then tried JRMC and Roon and both work great, but Roon sounds the best.

        Parents have been doing it wrong for a long time. Kids aren't special. Chances are they can't be an astronaut. You're only entitled to things you've earned, and that cuts two ways. Some things can't be achieved if you put your mind to it.

        I'd rather see kids learn the harsh realities of life instead of being fed bullshit their entire childhood. Maybe it's good I'm not a parent.

        @Elnrik Agreed. It’s one thing to foster self-esteem and confidence, it’s another to create faux specialness. It’ll only hurt them once they enter the real world. Kids need to learn how to embrace failure, afterall, life’s most important lessons tend to come after them.

      You're right about one thing, that the upgrade system they have going is poor. Turnaround time I mean... Seems silly to never want to deal with them again. It's your loss I guess.

        I think the delays with the Yggdrasil Analog 2 upgrades are untypical. Literally every other post I've ever read about how the upgrade queue/timing has gone as been full of praise for the fast turnaround. Unfortunate, frustrating, for sure, but not typical of how this sort of things has gone in the past.

        @Torq I may be the outlier here then, but so far my experience leaves a bitter taste. Its something that I wouldn't want to deal with any company in any setting. It also sucks that its my first and only encounter with schiit service.

        Oh, I get it. And only Schiit can comment on what is going on. My interactions with their team have always been super-fluid and efficient (and I am speaking as a paying customer not as a reviewer).

        I will say that if this frustrates you (which is understandable) don't even think about buying a boutique tube amp! ;)

        @a44100Hz How am I being a fussy jerk? I guess people are ok with sending goods off for a month without questioning the status. I waited over 2 weeks to send the first inquiry. Also the experience with their system has been anything but what they described. That's being fussy? Imagine sending a pair zmf headphones and getting radio silence for 3 weeks. Stop being biased.

        What hole? I thought the thing that seperated SBAF from other sites was the ability to be honest. Its not like I'm making this stuff out of my ass here. I know this is a Schiit loving-biased site, but they should be criticized just the same as anyone. Imagine if the vendor wasn't schiit....I'm sure people would not react the same way.

        What sucks about climbing the gear ladder is how you feel when you go back down a few rungs.

        On the upside, you've got an upgraded Yggdrasil to look forward to some time next year :P /s

        I purchased this passive and it's quite fine with balanced connections to the Denafrip Ares. The finish is actually pretty impressive and looks a lot better than the picture. especially the volume knob.

      3. Reggy
        Reggy
        Sound wise it sounds equally balanced in both channels and it seems linear in increments of the knob even at low volumes. I would not know how someone could tell the difference between a "better" passive at least paired with my current, let alone the sounds seems unconstrained and nothing absently wrong with it.


        I did major research on lower cost volume pots and a couple reviews noted issues, but no complains here.

        My Bifrost Multibit upgrade is sitting at 152 of 179. It has only dropped about 35 in about 3 weeks time. At this rate, mine will be done around November/December. That is like a 6 month turnaround. Might be faster to buy used MB and then sell the 4490. I mean I am glad these are upgradeable, but man!

        ZX2 has better timbre with the andromedas with more grip and punch, but after coming from the zx300, I am missing some clarity in the treble and sometimes wish for more air and clearer seperation. ZX2 hisses noticeably more than zx300. Its a romantic listen though and it has better decay which allows you to feel better nuances. trade offs between the two.

        Thank you for the write-up! That should cure my curiosity for a while. My friend who has ZX2 bailed on me so I haven't really got a chance to really compare ZX300 and ZX2 together, which was disappointing. Was so looking forward to that too. ;(

        Well. They did almost lose in the Western Conference Finals so I'd say there's a decent chance they're still not 'invincible' by any means. But will any Eastern Conference team be strong enough to challenge them in the Finals? Maybe not.
