    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Absolutely, I grew up going to Casa Bonita in the 90s! It really is a fun place to take the family. My daughter (now 12 year old) always loved the indoor cliff diving, gorilla suit they had running around, and all the other fun stuff. We just had a new addition to the family (a boy!) and I'm...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    My experience going SE to balanced has been awesome for gaming computers, sources that have 300W+ video cards. I could almost never keep the usb line clean from some noise creeping in. On my desktop, I just use toslink to my Bifrost and don't worry at all. On my 2 channel system, I needed the...

    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    Update on my Freya N experience (12 o clock pop in tube mode) after getting replacement tubes from Schiit. The replacement tubes were actually worse than the original tubes I received w my unit. The replacement tubes introduced more pops after 12 o clock and the pins were rather dirty. Cleaning...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I received a humming wall wart w a Loki Mini about a year ago. If I rotated or gave it a knock, it seemed like it would shut up for a bit. Schiit sent me a replacement wart right away. I still have the bad one laying around somewhere...

    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    Any updates from anyone with the 12 o clock pop of their Freya N? Schiit just sent me a return label to exchange the tubes that came with mine. I'm hopping new tubes do the trick 🤞

    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    I'll check in as I'm also experiencing the 12 o clock pop on my new Freya N. I'm running modius balanced to the freya n and SE out to a vidar. The speakers are dynaudio evoke 20s: 6 ohm, 86 sensitivity. I upgraded from a saga +, which had a completely smooth volume range. The Freya N's gain...

    You're right, suppose it was just the black 115V that didn't make it to close out.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I appreciate the transparency, its one reason why I'm a giant fan of Schiit. Also see why the breaking of principle (to hold a sale) certainly hurt trust for some, but what got me worse was Vidar. I believe it was marked as a black friday deal, but was more or less a closeout item. Also the...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Glad to see the Asgard 2 getting some love today! Mine has been getting daily use on my desktop for a long time, with a Bifrost Uber -> 4490 Upgrade and a Loki. No intentions of replacing it, unless it breaks and can't reasonably be fixed... but it's really perfect. They seem to go at pretty...
