Put the Soekris dac1321 in my 2-channel system after four months with the Gungnir Multibit A1 in place. Everything feels so fast. Jan 18, 2019

  Just got back from a 3-day stint in the hospital, going to bed. I'll write something up for the ER adventure thread tomorrow.

    @monacelli I'm doing fine, I never wrote up anything because the blood thinners they put me on make my eyes blurry so I've been limiting my screen time.

    I'm part of the PC brigade too I guess, but even I think Disney is going too far (this is about Gunn right?). Part of why I gravitate towards SBAF is the "not too loose, not too tight" philosophy that applies not only to measurements, but life as well*. No one's got all the answers.

    Makes you miss Bill Hicks even more. What is so PC if the cross people wear is a direct reference to an ancient and cruel death penalty? Try to make sense of that?
    
    Good thing some writers/artist still have/had the guts to create great stories (i.e. "Berserk" & "Hunter X Hunter").

  Due to the extended warmup times, R2R dac loaner periods should probably be 10 days.

    Really. I also think free return period for new Yggdrasil must be extended to six weeks (like Amazon winter return policy) for the same reason... 15 days are too short..

    Tidal is a little wonky for me lately. It doesn't always open, getting hung up about half the time. I recently noticed that I'm still on Canadian Tidal also. Not sure if that matters.

    @bazelio, that sucks dude. Streaming Tidal through Audirvana+ is super convenient, especially at the office. On the plus side, it looks like Qobuz is planning a US launch sometime this year: https://bit.ly/2kcCal5

  Getting the same kind of slam I get with Gungnir Multibit when I use a linear PSU with the Soekris dac1321.

    I'm using an UpTone LPS-1 (super capacitors). Slam is indeed a big improvement, even over the DAC1421 and its internal SMPS! Now I'm kinda torn because the improvements the LPS-1 made to the DAC1321 can't be replicated on the 1421, but quite intoxicating (blackground, slam and bass definition).

  It's funny how placing my Saga on top of one of my Gumbys produces digital noise but placing it on top of the other causes none.

    Interesting! It looks like a couple of the main differences are the transformer type and how the power supply is connected to the main board. I would probably lean toward Option B with the shielded transformer. Definitely interested to hear your impressions if you pick one up (either one)

    I would also vote b due to the transformer - looks more like the transformer in a real 834p!
