If that was the one Anaxilus and Purrin reported on, it was tweaked after that. At least that's how I remember it. Was it previewed at more than one meet?

Wasn't that the Newport Beach show? I wasn't aware of any other show.

The Beach Show was a few months ago (June, maybe?). I was talking about the L.A. meet, which confusingly enough Anaxilus and Purrin both were at....

What about the SFO meet, did Schiit, Anaxilus and Purrin attend?

Yea. June is right. I didn't know Schiit made another appearance after that. 
 
They were still using a prototype board at the L.A. meet, no?

From what I was told there, that was the final voicing, and they were waiting for the parts to come in for the DAC. I haven't been keeping up with the news since then, so it could have had another update, and I didn't see it.

I'd surmise with how late they ran on getting the DAC into production, it went through a update or two more.

So my tracking is stuck on useless information and it was supposed to arrive yesterday and no notice given today if it was shipped to my house today so it looks like I'll have to go to post office tomorrow when it opens and see if they have it. It's happened a few times where there was no notice and they had the package at the post office so hopefully this is the case. I'll check the tracking tomorrow morning and hopefully it is being delivered then but I shall find out I guess.

Both were tweaked after the Newport and LA shows.  We were all at the SF/Oakland meet, the mid tier gear wasn't there yet.
 
I would be shocked to hear the Eximus is more detailed than the Gungnir as I don't consider that a strength of the DP-1 tbh.

Too bad, it should be transferable with the original receipt. I'm sure this affects the resale value of Schiit products, but maybe they calculated that they will sell more new units this way.

I doubt this affects the resale value at all. Schiit products typically have high resale value due to their high popularity here and this amp would be no different. Also many products in the FS area do not have warranty transferred and still do just fine.

You're probably right, but it would still be nice if the warranty was transferable one time only. But I have read about (and experienced) Schiit's customer service, it's excellent and I doubt that they would leave anybody out in the cold... for very long

So the amp arrived and is much heavier than I expected as well as bigger than I thought. It is probably 2-3x the size of my V200 amp. The only problem is that my HD800 cables have not arrived so I have a large paper weight for a few days :p
