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

    Looking at Ragnirok & Urd combo meal deal and the website mentions “ just an amp” or “fully loaded” didn’t seem clear what were the differences and if one or the other works with Urd. Thanx

    Schiit Syn Surround Processor Reviews/Impressions

    Thanx Guys. About a week before the Syn launch the Boss says to me, it’s time to ditch the dodgy projector/laptop combo in our bedroom and get a big flatscreen. Not saying it’s going to be any easier or seamless though…

    Another question: What kind of non-HDMI output does the TV need to have to drive the Syne audio? I think someone has already found their screen only outputs HDMI? Thanx M. Paul

    Just so happens the Boss said last week, let’s get a new big screen for the bedroom. So I’m ready to push the button on a Syn and I’m thinking small powered speakers and $100-150 a pair range via Amazon. Also seems no one makes a Powered center speaker. And no not going to get a gaggle of those...

    Roy, just a standard 160hp late model pa22 but on skis I can use the Borer 82" prop. And yes the three skis are a plus, she stays on top and turns on a dime where we all have to get out and wiggle a super cub around getting blasted with snow etc. Fun times for sure and like we say, living the...

    Is it time to slide the coaster under its own thread? I didn't see how one was to procure one or a set. Did I miss it? Would like to have at least one in my hand before ordering the parts... Thanx Paladin79 for getting the BOM up!

    Schiit builds its first amp for the 1%, coasters for the rest of us ;) I see a kit being packaged in a Schiit branded pint glass selling well. Put in a pair of those skinny wall mart ant burners so we can see the surface mount parts. I haven't built up anything in over 30 years but I'm exited...

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

    I was reading somewhere once upon a time that Mussorgsky composed for piano and both Pictures and Night on Bald mountain were later redone by Rimsky Korsakove for the orcastrations. So I started searching, mostly pre internet, and found this little classical music store in Tulsa Ok. of all...

    I think there are lots of good amps and DACs and even turntables spouting the Schiit ethsttic that not a reason to not produce a product. I'm thinking by not being trapped by the peralisis of analisis there is still capturing a market share via lateral integration. A transport of the Schiit...

    Just being lazy... And transport is what I am thinking... I actually spent some time doodling on a napkin and hours online educating myself on what a transport actually is i.e. the key elements. It seems to me the purest (A nervouvosa types) would insist on sending a signal direct to DAC...

    Ok a few thoughts: -Up thread amp comparisons could use speaker type please. -Vidar and Yaggy showed the other day but cash flow and indecision has me on the fence about speakers still :/ -sensible balanced cables, cost over function, between Yaggy/Freya/Vidar then Vidar/speakers. Seems...

    It says something about Jason and crew's business model/marketing/philosophy that when its all said and done choosing a pair of speakers becomes the most difficult part of purchasing a new two channel rig. I kicked down for a Freya easy enough when it first came out. Last week it was two Vidar...

    I have a freya sitting in its box waiting for a pair of Vidar. I'm way out in western AK about 300 miles off the road system so everything comes out to my village in an airplane or a container barg. Pre listening is not an option but I have been looking seriously at Spatial M3i, Zu Omen Def...
