Asgard + Modi: accurate joy
Valhalla 2 + Modi MB: bliss
I've had the orginal Valhalla for years. And I played the crap out of it with Grados, and I *loved* the sound. I now have a Valhalla 2 on the way that I'm going to pair with a Soekris 1321, and I. Can't. Wait. :-D

although i personally haven't heard the Yggdrasil, people that i trust that have heard it, & highly recommend it over more expensive dacs for how it performs/sounds, not how it measures ... that doesn't mean that measurements are useless, quite the contrary, but the end result is what matters ... after all there are scores of people who prefer the sound of single ended no feedback 300b tube amps over everything else ... and their measurements aren't anything to "cream your jeans" over :-)
peace,
henry

OK, we get it, you don't like Schiit.... You are certainly in the minority. Love my Modi MB and Freya.

Is the conductor v2+ worth the money?
Also, is it possible to request a drop for this?

Create a poll, hopefully your "pony wins the race" and a distributor or manufacturer plays ball...

Looks like you're in the HD 6XX drop. Will you be using that headphone with these potential stacks?

I bought the Modi Multibit, and from the comparison I've heard from other the other DACs is that it's worth every penny for the upgrade. I think it's price/performance is the best you will find for sound stage, and providing a fatigue free listening experience.
I would go with the Valhalla as I'm floored with how good my Vali 2 is, so much so, that its going to be the amp upgrade I make next. I think either amp choice is good, but the tubes are amazingly better with a great DAC and cans, and the Modi is very close to the next one up the Bifrost multibit ( same chip). That combo would be much better than the Jotunheim I feel. What headphones are you using them with?

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.

Price matching
I ordered the Dekoni Cobalt for $179 and the price dropped to $159 before they even arrived. Some retailers do price match reimbursements if an item goes on sale within a certain time frame after purchase. Does Drop do that?

Dac/Amp -> Boose TV Speaker ?

AMP: Thoughts on the Jotunheim versus the Valhalla 2 as an amp?
--I know...tube versus solid state. But thoughts on the better of the two for a fixed budget?
DAC: Thoughts on the Jotunheim's balanced DAC card versus the Modi 2 or Modi 2 Uber?
--not including the Modi 2 Multibit ($249) as the Jotunheim DAC card is not multibit. However, is the Modi 2 Multibit worth $100 extra versus the Modi 2 Uber??
--not including the Bifrost ($399) and Bifrost Multibit ($599) due to the costs.
Amp/DAC COMBO options: Thoughts on the best combo for a fixed budget?
