It's been great communicating with mudnut. The headphones are as described, and shipped securely and timely. He's a great selIer and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

No worries. I work in the electronics field. I've already had it apart and back together since I posted. The larger Alps knobs have cast housings and don't attach to the circuit board (float), so there's no way to ground it from below.

Great idea! I have an Asgard 2 that needs this.

No...

He still does. https://www.schiit.com/products/coaster

The Six Pack release, with the exception of the live selections from Fandango, was remixed with new drums and guitar effects to make the original releases sound more contemporary at the time (late 80's). That was the first release of the first six albums I owned as well, and later was confused...

That's the reason I do the skillet method the way I do. Heating toppings down adds moisture to the crust.

Don't knock it until you try it. It's not as fast as a microwave, but it's a hell of a lot faster than reheating in a toaster oven, which I do if I take the time. I'm not a guy who gives a rip about what anyone thinks about the "respect" I'm giving food. I want it to taste good and maintain...

It's just telling you that you're reheating leftover pizza the wrong way. Skillet, medium-low heat, with a little olive oil. Topping side down first, then crust side. You're welcome. Usually when microwaves I've worked on have just quit, it's a safety switch. But, that doesn't happen in the...

I'm fine with no sub level, but my sub's gain is easy to access. I run it hot for TV & Movies, and reduce it to a flatter response for music. The two things I mentioned in the Syn thread that I would request on an updated Syn 2: a switchable mode for two-channel with subwoofer only. I can...

Tubedepot has a pretty sweet deal on these if you need 6DJ8/6922 adapters. 5670W + adapter for $25. I just bought a pair from them to try in Freya-N, and bought another matched pair on the 'bay for $19.

I do, but I've caught that SOB lying on occasion...

I frickin' love mine. The system I use it in is easily the most "fun" in the house. Not the most detailed, transparent, system in the house, but easily the most fun. I've posted more detail in the Syn thread.

Good news, bad news indeed...but glad we got to the bottom of the situation, and that I was able to help. My thinking was the same as yours; if unplugging the BB2 worked, fashion a satisfactory way to power it off completely. Using a bluetooth power outlet or similar comes to mind...

Unison USB is is a proprietary Schiit implementation, and does not use C-Media USB input chips. I believe the current Modi is the only stand-alone Schiit DAC that uses CM6635. The earlier generations of Bifrost USB inputs used other C-Media chips such as CM6631A. I tested USB from two Android...
