What do you have left now?

This is interesting to me as I've been considering modding my Oppo units with JLiT mods. If they have that level of performance, that would be quite a thing to hear.

Actually, the GroB is in the same price bracket as the Gumby USB 5. The Konverter on the other hand is around $4000.

I have some experience with Schiit's multibit DACs. The multibit module for the Jot and the Lyr3 is apparently very close to the Modi Multibit. The Gumby was pretty good when I had it but I found I preferred the AKM chip of my Geiseler GroB Dac. I like the implementation. Also, the audio store in Camp Hill has started selling the Chord Qutest. I think I'll pay a visit soon to listen!

Any more impressions?

https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/245258-fs-lh-labs-pulse-xfi-infinity-dac-chassis-1/ - try this?

Damn, out of reach for now. I hope to hear one of these one day!

Hey guys, what filters out of the ones in the GroB Dac do you like? Mostly stuck with the Low Dispersion one.

@Bengineer I actually forgot it can do that with the Element! You know, either use the DAC or amp section separately. If you wanted to get a better DAC, you can try the Klein DAC made by @Gieseler Audio. As for amp...apparently the Jotunheim strikes above weight.

Ifi iDSD Micro Black Label for both transportability and good DAC/Amp combo?

Oh okay, that might explain why it's still running and sounding a bit better when I disabled USB power from certain usb ports out of my motherboard. Apparently doable on a Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but does the GroB DAC take any power from the USB port to work?

Agreed! Nice price.

Thanks for the heads-up, @skyliner34! I'm going a slightly different way though.

SOLD TO SANSKI.
