    Cheap & cheerful: inexpensive starter combo recommendations

    Lots of people who come to this forum are new to the hobby, and just want advice on a reasonable starting point without spending a ton of money. This makes a lot of sense: only by listening do you develop an idea of your own likes, dislikes, and preferences. By starting with modest gear, you...

    I can't seem to find a good explanation of what the advantages/disadvantages are between using a separate Amp/DAC stack from Schitt, like the Modius/Magnius, versus using a combined unit like the Jotunheim. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello everyone, I've been out of the audio loop for a few years, and now that I'm back in it and looking for a new Amp and DAC, I find that Schitt has come out with some new combination products: The Asgard, Jotunheim, and Lyr. My previous understanding was that Schitt's entire business...

    Do combo amp dacs provide a better value than 2 discrete units?

    Do I get more bang for my buck by buying an amp dac combo instead. For example instead of getting a $100 amp and a $100 dac would I get better sound quality by spending $200 on a combo (for example an audioengine d1). Also if you do get more bang for your buck combo recommendations under $250...

    LCD-3 with HEXv2 height and width?

    I have HEXv2 and LCD-3, and am curious if there exist cans that combine what I love about them. To keep it simple, it`s basically taking the LCD-3, maybe nudging the bass 30% toward HEX, but mainly keep the way LCD-3 models instruments and voices, keeping the soundstage depth, but using the...

    Is AMP/DAC worth for the poor? ( Hifiman HE 4XX )

    Hello, i've been reading alot of the comments everywhere saying that amp/dac basically give you volume and thats it, while others claim its main purpose as "Quality enhancement" such as better soundstage, better bass, better nuances etc. But i suppose its somewhere inbetween and yea i know how...
