I didn't meant boot in a literal way, I meant running the OS off an hdd.

Yeah Linux is an exception.

It's my rule :)

Not saying that I wouldn't love it if pics came up in my photo-editing software super-instant. But hey, the PC is ten years old, so the disc is not the only factor. And I use WD Black, which are noticably quicker.

@Vtory That's right. It just other (non chifi) alternatives are way more expensive. Things on Aliexpress avoid %20 tax and shipping costs (~$70-$110) (Aliexpress provide free express shipping to my country on things costing >$90).

If @schiit lunched the Yggdrasil 2 it would be an easy choice to skip mid tier stuff.

It sounds like you just need to have something no matter what. I know what that urge feels like. Eventually I learned that if I just wait it out the urge will pass. You already know you'll move the SU-9 on it's way, and if you buy it you'll just wonder what the Bifrost would have been like. ..and then you'll buy it eventually. Skip the SU-9 and save your money 'til you can get the Bifrost.

Buy nice or upgrade twice

Is such a thing even possible?

idk if it's specific to my account or for all users.

7.5khz peak on the measurements posted above kind of has me worried. Angled pads > angled drivers. Angled drivers just a recipe for all sorts of weird reflections.

Also note he’s using a Topping stack while claiming the 560S outresolves the 6XX lol I really don’t think these youtubers heard the 6xx/600 on a good tube amp

My Senn rep shared some measurements back with me few months ago, not sure if I can share it officially. But the Senn rep was saying the goal on the HD560S was to roughly be the HD650 with extension to 40hz and little more even at 5k. Theirs didn't have a 7k peak.

We should be getting some soon and I was looking to send one off to Marv.

However out of the Bachelor the Verite C downsides become significantly less. So instead of selling the ZMF's now I am waiting for a DNA Starlett to come in, next month hopefully...

@crenca I hope the Starlett will be THE match! ;)

Can confirm, Starlett / Auteur pairing is musical and addictive!

The next Yggdrasil will likely be a significant overhaul, not just an “A2” type upgrade. Clues already provided on this from Jason/Mike. However when that’s likely to launch is anyone’s guess. If you’re paranoid about potentially losing value too soon, buy used.

I heard it's coming out in 69days

Waiting for the same thing lol

@nishan99 you're right! I could imagine what you were describing while I was reading your comment. They look so awesome though!

The narrow staircases in old city houses, before elevators became affordable might not spiral, but you will have to evolve your goat skills. You fall, you die (or get hurt at the least).

I've always wanted one in my classroom. I'd teach Calculus from the top while randomly hurling apples at unsuspecting students.

Ugh.

Go listen to some good music instead and have a great cup of coffee.

What cable? No, I don't believe analogue interconnects make a difference but I'm more open minded about headphone wire.

I once thought I heard a power cable make a difference. Had to get a couple of thugs to bounce me round the room until I confessed to having imagined it. It's the only way with audiophoolery: get it knocked out of you!

@nishan99 yeah, that's the right way to go with cables IMHO. Just buy them for ergonomic/aesthetic purposes and consider any sonic improvements a bonus if they exist. It's the reason why my two channel setup and headphone rig still use cheap interconnects.

On the flipside there could be sonic *down*grades with cables. During a store demo of all things someone let me use this cable he'd made with the Klipsches and it just sounded like a bloated mess. Jarring when I was expecting the exact opposite.

Lol, but at the cost of everything else. Not worth it.

Instructions unclear. Head stuck between DAC and amp. Send halp.

Hal is on the way. Hope he can get you out of there before your nasal fluids contact live electrics.
