Bob,

It's almost a year after your post about the Valhalla 2 digital. Now I'm myself deciding on changing or not my original Valhalla for the version 2. I suppose you were using original Valhalla also before the version 2.

Could you please describe a little what were the differences you noticed comparing the two versions?

I 'll connect a dCs Network Bridge to a Combak Reimyo DAP 999 EX.

I went from another brand AES/EBU cable to the Valhalla 2's (never had an opportunity to try/compare Ver 1 vs Ver 2).

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Best Sir,

Bob

Best Bob,

A question from a fellow Nordost user. Are You still using the V2 AES/EBU with good results or have you tested the Odin 2 and replaced the V2?

I am currently using V1 AES/EBU between Emm Labs TSD1-DAC2X.

I have tested V2 Digital 75ohm RCA from Oppo103 to the DAC2X, with amazing results regarding the whole soundstage,details and precision.

I am now tempted to switch up, and sit closer to Odin at the long table in Valhalla.

All input from You Bob in this matter regarding revelations you experienced using either V2 or O2 digital AES/EBU cabling is much appreciated.

Best regards,
Håkan
