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

    I must admit Loki reincarnate and the gadget is intriguing. but leaves me in a weird spot. Out side of in vehicles I do not use EQ or external DSP. After all its not needed is you have good gear, right? But as a wannabe audiophile I audition transducers, DAC's, Pre amps etc like many others...

    Wheat left channel said. It cant go before the source because then it will have nothing to EQ and it can't go after the HP amp because then how would you plug your Cans in. :beerchug: And to add, If using in a Speaker or 2 Channel rig. It can go before your preamp but then you can only input...

    What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

    I have read very good things about the Nagoaka MP110. Also The MP110 and Mani combo are supposed to be very very good. I saw this review a while ago, this guy is entertaining but I enjoy his videos and he is using this combo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U5ANqGccmk And a Follow up Video...

    Working at the Schittr? That would be an Awesome Part time gig. But I'm not even in the same time zone or even the next one over. I will keep waiting for teleportation devices to become a reality. RIP SOL Uno. Although in fairness Emotiva's "Small Amp" Is not that small. It's very deep...

    Schiit is on a roll. I recently inherited my Dad's Old Vinyl so this is impeccable timing, I am Adding a Jil to the List of future purchases. With My luck as soon as I finish ripping the last one the MB version of Jil will be released. On a Side note reading the Faq. I did not know that Nelson...

    The Current Lisst should work for the Input side of the Valhalla (Short guys up front) as it is in the same family as the tubes used for the Lyr and Mjolnir. However I am A bit confused about turning the Valhalla into solid state. We have seen your Huge rack It can't be a space thing. Even if...

    That reads as general speculation with no specific reference to any designs or references to the claims made or even if it was optical or coax interfaces. If USB was Ideal there would be no need for wyrd, the wyrd knockoffs and USB to S/PDIF convertors. Isolating the Garbage that transmitted...

    No reason why they will not. Modi MB and Modi Uber have a Coax Input. I am about to pull the trigger on eiter to pair with My Mimby.

    So there is no driver download link under eitr download which made me think, hey no drivers sweet! until I read the faq. With windows you may need them still. Will the current schiit drivers work for eitr? Also I now wonder if Eitr plus Mimby = even closer to Bimby.

    Of course he is. My poor wallet. I mentioned it to rmoody his response was " haha, wait, a USB turntable?" Sarcasm aside, I wonder if Mike sensed that disturbance in the force.

    You walked right by it on the way to the backroom to play with the freya :L3000:. Asgard is a few months old. needed something that i could use when time in the chair was short or i was not listening to music. I did not want to kill the tubes in the Valhalla 2 while listening to news or...

    Nice work Timster. Those concentric Tannoys are sweet. I agree with johnjens power and signal breakout wherever possible. In the Networking world there are also screw in mounts that let you loop velcro in which I really like, called saddles. which may work for areas where those traditional...

    This was mentioned a while back on another thread, of course it was a prototype with no indication it would see the light of day. I agree, the voodoo that happens in that little box Known as the Modi MB is scary good. Another discussion had a while back was the viability of a smaller amp...

    Eitr? first run of the basic Manhattan project? Mike mentioned a Prototype Bifrost MB board he was testing, there was some talk of a Tube Phono Stage a while back. Then there is all the other things they don't tell us about. Might need to unplug for the weekend to stay sane.

    The Draw to schitt gear is the insane value for dollar. When you start getting into 4x the price or more there is a lot of gear that may or may not be as good. To each his own, if you have the money and like it go for it. No Judgment here.

    Not commenting on the quality of the gear. Just the Price. Hence the Comparison to the Stack of Schiit Components you can get for less money. Hell throw a Mani in for good measure.

    Madness that Money buys you two Emotiva XPA1's Rated @ 600 Watt/8 Ohms or 1,000 Watts/4Ohms Mono with LPS transformers the Size of Gorilla Nuts. Or a Freya, Gumby and a Vidar with enough left over for interconnects and beer.

    Ah Ok. My Understanding is SMPS are not ideal for audio regardless although some companies have done good jobs at filtering. An SMPS is a departure from the rest of the emotiva amp line. It seems the modular design does not leave a lot of room. If Used for Home theater I dont know if many will...

    Similar experience. ( I am taking this under the presumption switching=class D) I have compared a few to a Class A or Class A/B amps and my preference has always been the latter. I think they have their place because they can be small and dissipate less heat which for me is on the patio or in...

    There is a Difference in swapping out audio components and putting in the time and sweat in to refinish metal and wood as well learning the way mechanisms work so that you repair, refine and possibly even improve it. My Electronics Knowledge is Technician level not Engineer level so not a lot I...

    It's a Prototype. I am guessing like with other things schiit is feeling out the crowd. I doubt a protoype is part of the double flusher.
