  1. Well, that is absolutely certainly a no go with Schiit. Thanks for that. Any suggestions then?
  2. Aha, thats why I am waiting for first hand experiences to form a reliable opinion on Schiit. Let the forum know your experience on that Modi+Magni once you get a chance to try them out.
  3. Thanks, those look nice. I'm keeping my options open though for other possibilities, but atm those seem quite nice, and the prices are great.
  4. So, what are some good suggestions around the $100-$300ea range for DAC and AMP pairs (not combos) I use HD558s currently as my staple headphones, but will be moving to higher fidelity cans in the future, for use case scenario (spanning all audio genre and generally all audio use as possible).
  5. I found Schiit audio a while ago, but I haven't really seen too much talked about them. Their components look really nice and the options they offer look like really good options, I was wondering if anyone on the LTT forum has any Schiit equipment or has any experience with it, because I'm interested in buying a DAC and Amp pair from them at some point. I mainly want to know personal experiences with them and suggestions if possible. Thanks if you can help! Cheers!
  6. With an H100i you should easily be able to take that to 5.0GHz by overclocking in the BIOS and still get good temps. And clocking your RAM to 1600MHz with the 5.0GHz shouldn't be an issue either. Just youtube BIOS overclocking guides for your mobo.
  7. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/gabe-newell-opens-up-about-steam-box-plans/4511/ Essentially what Gabe says is not that this isnt a steam box but more of a 3rd party steam box. So, Valve is going to be releasing their own, while 3rd party developers are going to offer linux boxes that are essentially going to be branded 3rd party steam boxes

    Steam Boxes?

    I read an interview with GabeN that they were showcasing several prototype 3rd party steam boxes at CES, anyone have any more information on that?
  9. I personally am waiting for SSD prices to lower more before I'm considering an SSD the Momentus gives me all the speed I need for my games and boot (since it has upwards to 4GB of SSD cash, so it can boot windows and my games at a near SSD level speed, and just being on a 500GB Seagate Barracuda currently for boot, it takes about 15 seconds from end of BIOS to using windows, which I'm perfectly happy with since I need storage more than speed on average due to archiving music and video.
  10. Momentus XT is the hybrid drive, and it's all the boot speed I need. And I don't mind a boot that is 5 seconds longer than that of an SSD
