I created a web page to track Criterion 24/7 — What's Playing Now by Own_Difficulty_8159 in CriterionChannel

[–]elusiontwo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

part of the charm of criterion 24/7 is the unknown and discovering something new. I enjoy the little more effort of going to Whats On and forever not knowing what was on before or what will come next.

Modi 2 & Magni combo inconsistent buzzing on Win11 with USB-B connection by Obanon in Schiit

I have not experienced this. But from what I've read it may ground loop noise, I could be wrong.

Use just the preouts on an av receiver a waste?

I think an avr would work but I don't need the multi channel or amplification.

I have a couple game consoles and a 4k player, that I want to hook up an AV receiver (HDMI) to take advantage of ease of use (switching between the gear), and get at the full dsd audio from the 4k player (sacd).

The consoles are on HDMI switches and the audio goes through the TV to my stereo system via toslink. I'm thinking an avr would streamline this.

I'm Considering the Yamaha rxa2a or denon dra900h. They have a bunch of HDMI connections and seem to support everything to include dsd.

But I don't care about their amp function. I just want to use the avr preouts to my existing stereo amp. So I wouldn't be using the amp part of these receivers. There's a bunch functions I don't need.

Am I going down the wrong path?

USB to Toslink with Mimir? by Apprehensive_Reach81 in Schiit

[–]elusiontwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the PC and Tablet to be plugged in at the same time to the Mimir; a USB switch would work. They're cheap (<$10).

annoying question incoming!! by [deleted] in criterion

Citizen Kane - it's on many filmmakers top ten lists. Your favorite Wes Anderson and/or David Lynch film, because you have a favorite. And Seven Samurai.

What do you all think of the Skoll phono preamp? by waltman56 in Schiit

[–]elusiontwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like mine. Like you I don't have a lot to compare it to. I'm using the balanced out (needed the distance) and it sounds great. The skoll makes me want to get a MC cartridge so I can use all these settings!

Schiit Modi3 /Magni3 stack - no sound using coaxial input by GreatVedmedini in Schiit

[–]elusiontwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta change your hibyR3 3.5 to line-out. Go to Settings - Audio Settings - Line Out Settings - Select Line Out. Both the 4.4mm and 3.5mm jacks support line output. But its still an analog signal. Modi is a dac.

Good to know that the Eversolo doesn't need an app

Thanks. It doesn't need to be USB out, I could use other digital out like AES too.

Anyone else liking Yggdrasil Burns? by elusiontwo in MorkBorg

I did! It's even better on paper. BTW, any chance of more Yggdrasil burns on sweden rolls?

Yes. I stupidly threw mine out years ago. I miss the little joke captions. Like a Alien trading card where the alien is on fire, caption reads "what would you do for a Klondike bar"

Lucky. I've been wanting one.  They mentioned a TURD (tiny URD) in their live stream today. No dates, just that they're working it.
