How is THD vs freq? I'm not sure it's in the PDF.
Looks like it's out now: https://www.schiit.com/news/news/ragnarok-2-nexus-integrated-introduced 1500$ amp only version. Will take probably a year...

So, you are doing A/D and D/A (with the poor DACs* present in the miniDSP) after the DAC and yet you notice a change in sound if you change the...
The more you equalize the FR with DRC or other means (better before the DAC ofc), the less you perceive differences between DACs. You may not...
It's very good even if its' already +-, you won't be limited in the midbass like I was with the last FR I tried. The rising FR means that the...
