Schiit EITR

[creativepart]

I had an Eitr left over, sitting on a shelf, from a previous DAC I had that worked better with S/PDIF. I replaced that DAC with a Chord Qutest and it's USB input is pretty state of the art. I was feeding it USB via a SoTM SMS200, so, no slouch there either.

 

As I researched selling the Eitr to see what kind of price these things bring (not much) I decided to put it between the SMS200 and the Qutest.

 

Imagine my great surprise when the sound quality of my system took a great leap for the better. I'm still surprised at that. So, I'm a believer in the Eitr as a very relevant audio product, even if Schitt is about to retire it from their line up. Too bad the Eitr doesn't have a optical output, too. I'd like to give that a try, as well.

I thought JS said the power supply didn't matter for Eitr because it had  a built in LPS: "Eitr uses, as stated, a 100% linear power supply. "
