So I bought a Asgard 3 with the built in dac which is not multibit. Then I bought a very similar amp, the smsl and the mono price thx. The Asgard is richer sounding but noisier. Thx was cleaner and I eventually sold the Asgard 3 for the thx. Less noise is less listening fatigue. I was just comparing the amps. There are smaller differences between the thx amps. The mono price is the best built. The mass drop is next followed by the smsl.

Not really fair to compare because, well, one has a DAC because of the modular nature of the product and the other does not. However, as far as the amplification stage is concerned, do you want an all-in-one solution with single ended inputs or a balanced option? What are you attempting to drive? Are you just using this as a desktop setup for headphones or are you looking to add additional peripherals? These are some of the questions you should ask yourself, the answer should be readily apparent after.

dj_toastThanks for the reply. I know its not exactly an apples to apples comparison, and I’m new to the audio world... Currently using my MacBook -> Schitt Asgard 3 -> Audeze LCDi3. Not balanced, just a 3.5mm jack. I realize I’d need to pair with a DAC as well. I guess my question was more “how does the 789 w/ a recommended DAC compare to the Asgard 3 multibit.

E-MU Teak Repair - Any Experience?
Hello, I am wondering if anybody has any experience contacting E-MU support, sending them headphones for repair, or getting them back fixed. Can anybody share any experience? I have been emailing them for a while now, but nobody has responded. Thank you.

pc38x still has audio coming through with the volume dial turned all the way down
Finally got my hands on the pc38x. I mostly wanted to try this headset because of all the good things i heard about it. Out of the box i wasn’t really impressed. My 50 dollar astros were just as loud if not louder. After setting up an EQ on dolby access i got them sounding a little better. But one thing that really bothers me is the volume dial on the headset. When i turn it all the way down there’s so much audio still coming through, like the headset is turned up 10-20%. Is this normal?

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.
