Die Modi is voor het geld inderdaad echt een koopje.

Ik speel met de Gungnir DAC en die speelt ook zeer netjes. Was een duidelijke upgrade tov MF M1 DAC. Die nieuwe statement dac ben ik heel erg nieuwsgierig naar.  :angel:

Ik gebruik foobar. Lekker basic programma en functioneert goed. ASIO support en je kan diverse pluggin's gebruiken en freeware. JRiver is betaald.

Er komt ook een buizen-versie van de Ragnarok:

Schiit audio had a working prototype of their new Ragnarok flagship on display.  This sizable amplifier drives both headphones (4 pin-balanced and single ended) and loudspeakers (100w/4 ohms) and will retail for $1,500. The amp on display was solid state but Jason let me know that a tube version will be available for $500 more.  A matching statement DAC will eventually accompany the amp (Ragnarok is launching first) called Yggdrasil and will cost $1,900.

Ik zag net dat de Valhalla, Lyr en Bifrost nu ook in het zwart te koop zijn.
Ziet er ook netjes uit!

Ik heb steeds getwijfeld over de Schiit omdat hij niet in het zwart was...

Zogenaamd "foutje vd leverancier" maar dan wel netjes met het logo erop...
Wordt verkocht als "limited edition" (gaat hard).  Schiit is superhandig in marketing  :worship:
Als het goed gaat kunnen er meer zwarte komen  ;)

Is die versterker al leverbaar? De Ragnarok.
Als die nu ook in het zwart zou komen...

Nog niet veel nieuws over deze amp, gaat wat minder snel dan de aankondiging.

Quote van Jason Stoddard:
For all the inquiries we've had about black products, they're not exactly flying off the shelves--I'm sorry, but (at the moment) we don't have much motivation for doing this again.

Agreed, though, they do look cool.


Twijfelachtig of deze uitvoeringen opgenomen gaan worden in de collectie (of gewoon goede marketing om de huidige voorraad snel te verkopen  :angel: )

Ik gebruik zelf al een aantal jaar met veel plezier de Lyr in combinatie met de T1 van beyerdynamic.
Ik ben zeer tevreden over het geluid, al moet ik er bij zeggen dat ik niet vergeleken heb met andere gelijkwaardige versterkers. Ben wel benieuwd wat eventueel nog een Dac erbij zou kunnen doen, maar tot op heden is dit al prima genieten  ;D

Update mbt Ragnarok en Yggdrasil van Jason Stoddard


quick update on Ragnarok and Yggdrasil:

Ragnarok:

1. Metal problems: solved and ordered. If the metal that comes in at the beginning of February is good, we're ready to start production.
2. Transformer hum: solved and ordered. Ditto the above, but we've only been surprised once by transformers that hum when the prototypes were quiet, so this is probably fine.
3. Gain stage: we've finished testing and optimizing the performance on the new design, and boards will be ordered as soon as we're done with the final integration torture test. Boards take only a couple of weeks, so that's not really a pacing item.
4. Software: adding a couple of tweaks, but everything is working--bias and offset setting, output protection monitoring, input switching, level control, gain control, and headphone/speaker/both switching. Not really a pacing item, it's been pretty much hammered every way we can.

So what does this mean? Assuming the metal is right, and there are no transformer surprises, we'll begin production in February. Don't expect shipping immediately afterwards, since we essentially have to set up a "craft build" station specifically for Ragnarok. I wouldn't be surprised if we start shipping by the end of February, but it may slip a couple of weeks.  This is a massively complex device, and there still may be some production issues to work through. And, don't be surprised if the stocking status says something like,"Shipping in 7-10 business days after the order is placed." Ragnaroks are going to be perfect, or they won't ship.

Yggdrasil:

1. Metal: resolved with Ragnarok. Or not. We'll see how the first shipment goes.
2. Transformers/chokes: never hummed, not a problem.
3. Digital/DSP section: undergoing revisions for higher performance on the input side (SPDIF and USB) and beginning final code integration on the DSP side.
4. DAC/Analog section: reviewing two candidate approaches for the D/A side of things, and integrating a new "pivot point" current-feedback integrally balanced discrete output stage.
5. Software: operational software is relatively simple; DSP addressed above.

So what does this mean? Take Ragnarok, add 6-8 weeks if all goes well.

And that's where we are right now...

All the best,
