No it will not. The original tests were done with SPDIF from the analyzer.Have the tests been done with the USB Gen 5 board ? Will that improve the results ?
In Schiit DACs with less than "Gen 5 USB" the USB interface is not well implemented and S/PDIF does better.Would SPDIF always be the preferred input? I assumed USB would have better results?
Or the modi 3, which afaik doesn't have "Gen5" USB, just a much better implementation of the cmedia receiver.In Schiit DACs with less than "Gen 5 USB" the USB interface is not well implemented and S/PDIF does better.
I believe it is Gen5.Or the modi 3, which afaik doesn't have "Gen5" USB, just a much better implementation of the cmedia receiver.
The Modi 3 is not Gen 5 is you read the specs.I believe it is Gen5.
Gen5 is just a better implementation of the C-Media USB receiver.
There are no other chipsets running on Schiit products right now as far as I have seen.
Nah. You get an A+ for helping create good information for future purchasers. Much appreciation for loaning it to me.
I don’t think Stereophile reviewed the Multibit version. They did the AKM 4490 oneThese measurements don’t seem to be the same as John Atkinson got in his measurement tests.
JA did get some bad measurements with Schiit products. But he specifically downplayed the horrible measurements that he got; likely due to a nice payment from schiit.These measurements don’t seem to be the same as John Atkinson got in his measurement tests.
Hmmm... I think the review I read was for the Bitfrost #2 , which he said the measurement was very good for the price range. I’m not sure if that’s the same as the AKM 4490? I’m presently in the market for a new dac, and have been reading up. I thought I had it narrowed down between the mojo and the bitfrost based on the reviews I been reading, but I may have to re think that. Currently have an Arcam Irdac, so lm looking for something better.
Is this a recent Stereophile reviewing Bifrost 2 that's not online yet? I don't subscribe.Hmmm...
