With the Stellar Strata coming down the pike with streaming functions, is there any thoughts to a Stellar streamer for us SGCD users?

Gentlemen, please take it to PMs if you want to continue bickering. Thank you.

To keep it short, this is what the Schiit gear brings to the table over my previous setup… Space, depth, layering, texture, weight, organic, alive, fine inner detail, crystalline and highly refined top end, soul. Just to name a few.

Would be interesting to know a bit more about Schiit and how they manage to offer equipment for the price all others spend for their carton packaging. But why blame manufacturers of a higher price and probably performance level for not offering at lower level, too? Nobody would blame Esoteric for not offering under several thousand $. Those who want to buy cheaper can do so somewhere else. Not even the Chinese manage to offer at those prices, so I’d really like to know how this Schiit performs in a setup for realistic impact. Maybe I have a chance to listen somewhere.

Chops I did not mean to make it sound your and Terzinators move like a bad thing, I said that you like it and I read good reviews about Schiit. The fact that you find it sound equally as good as the Stellar gear means that it is possible to build (assemble) good phono pre amps and amplifiers for less than US$ 1700. Which simply makes me wonder why all new Stellar gear has to cross the US$ 2000 mark. And that PS Audio claims that anything less doesn’t seem to tick their boxes. That, to me, is very interesting because my income just doesn’t grow fast enough to follow the Stellar price trend.

Wow, that about covers it all. What’s your Schitt setup?

I didn’t mean it that way. Was just a friendly poke. [image] Rudolf_Appel: The fact that you find it sound equally as good as the Stellar gear I never claimed that. There’s nothing “equal” about them. As I said elsewhere, the Schiit gear completely stomps the Stellar gear by a long shot. Sorry to say that, especially on PS Audio’s own forum, but it’s the truth. This Schiit stack isn’t just a different sound, it’s a better sound.

Looks great! I recognize the Freya. What amp and Dac are you using. I read through your posts but didn’t the models specifically listed.

Thanks. Running the new Freya +, a pair of Aegir amps in mono (80 watts each), and no DAC yet. Once my Sonus Faber’s sell, I’ll be getting the Bifrost.

Fair enough. We’ve also got a lower cost Stellar phono in the wings so hang in there.

I think especially if one explores the sound of lower powered amps with high efficiency speakers for himself and likes this and maybe only has a smaller room available anyway, a lot of money can be saved compared to the high powered, lower efficiency side of high end.
