#EITR LEYSA UPGRADE#

324 phono stage, Shunyata Triton power distribution with compelete Shunyata power cords, Sonore microRendu USB streamer (V1.3 hardware at the time), Schiit Modi 2 Uber DAC and Schiit Eitr USB/SPDIF convertor as my interim digital setup while my Gungnir is away a the Schiit-shop getting upgraded.

I should at this point mention that I am using a loudspeaker system: Conrad-Johnson CT-5 preamp, Conrad-Johnson LP70S stereo power amp, Michell Gyro SE turntable with SME V arm and Koestu Urushi Vermilion cartridge, E.A.R. In the spirit of Torq's review and to cut to the chase: Eitr is a WINNER. Apologize in advance if this post is TL DR, if so, just let me kow and I will pare it down. Hi folks, I just joined today, but I thought I would put up my impressions after listening to Eitr for over a month now with two different Schiit DACs. I am surprised at how thin the PYST cable is, the Supra cable was quite thick. It would have been nice to add that to the comparison. I used to own a Supra USB cable, but unfortunately sold it with my Audiolab MDAC. I cannot hear anything negative about the PYST cable, it sounds nice and clear (unlike the Belkin cable) but without the brittleness of the Deltaco cable. The Belkin sounds a bit muddy in comparison and some of the instruments stick together, I believe this is the 'greyness' that I described in my earlier post. It differs from the Belkin cable in its ability to delineate between the sounds / instruments, especially on busy parts of the music. It does not have the deficiencies of the Deltaco cable, it sounds closer to the Belkin cable. Today, my PYST USB cable arrived and I have compared it to my other two USB cables (Deltaco and Belkin). It does not sound natural and is unpleasant to listen to. It is true that it is sharper and clearer than the Belkin cable, but it has a brittle, prickly characteristic that soon becomes both annoying and fatiguing. The cheapy Deltaco cable has severe deficiencies. I've done some more listening to USB cables with Gen 5 USB. Nervosis or real? I'll let you know if I hear a difference. I keep reading that 1.5 meter's is best for coax. Sounds good to me, but I'm going to replace it anyway with a 1.5 meter. Question for other users.I've been using BJC 1 meter coax. I 'think' the problems gone away but I'm gonna keep a close ear on it. Anyway, I changed to the USB from the Curious Cables to a cheap Schiit PYST. Massively annoying - like listening to a scratched record. About 3 days ago I suddenly noticed 'popping' or static interference sounds every now and again. I'll probably try using with uR instead of MBP, if only to get my computer back from the audio shelf.Īnd now a problem to report. Maybe should have tried Recovery together with Eitr?.unfortunately I sold the Recovery too quickly for me to test and confirm.

It's a big upgrade in SQ over the Recovery, although I've read elsewhere that factors before the Eitr DO in fact make a difference, despite what some folks on here have reported. My system is MBP -> audirvana 3 -> Eitr -> Hegel HD25 DAC -> Belles Aria - > Kudos Super20's. I replaced my W4S Recovery with Eitr about 2 weeks ago.
