Now a really cool product (albeit with a limited market) would be a phono stage with various EQ curves, not just RIAA. This enables early LPs to be reproduced correctly, as not all labels used RIAA. I believe Graham Slee used to make something like this (maybe they still do).

I like it! RIAA in DSP. And all others.
This ties in to my ADC directly in the cartridge - optical out/digital something out idea.

I think I am just gonna get the loki mini and get the non mini when it is out later

Loki Non Mini = Loki Maxi (perhaps) ??

Loki Non Mini = Loki Maxi (perhaps) ??

Or Loki ii

I'd be interested to see how it pairs with turntables.

It's all good, placed my order yesterday afternoon.

Your order at Schiit Audio has shipped!

Sorry to sound stupid but I've just chanced upon this discussion. What is the Loki " maxi" gonna comprise?

No one has any idea yet (maybe not even Jason or Mike). If "mini" doesn't get the sales to show the interest / demand for such a product it won't warrant developing a more sophisticated version so there won't be a "maxi".

Hopefully balanced output and more EQ knobs at the very least.

Yeah my guess would be the same, with something very similar to (or the same as) the Jotunheim current-feedback differential output stage.

The lineup: Magni 2U + Loki Mini + Modi 2U.

I am tempted to order a Magni 3 just to get a matching finish. And a Modi Multibit while I'm at it. Because Schiit.

Just kidding. They look great together in their final position. In fact I usually push them a little farther back under the shelf.

In addition to those very visible (and paintable) notches, the knobs have strong center detents. You will feel those.

Actual listening impressions will take a while. This is going to be fun.

Looks great as is. Glad to hear about the center detents, now I'm not concerned about the graphics. Mr. FedX should be here tomorrow with mine.

So a bit of a confession here, I am a bit of a basshead. I love to have really accurate audio when listening to most genres, but nothing is quite like the awesomeness that is (good) electronic music with super heavy bass. The first thing I did when I got my Loki (about 15 minutes ago) was turn the first knob all the way up and turn on some Deadmau5 (While 1>2). Loki took a setup that is pretty darn awesome (Bifrost multibit with gen5 + Lyr2 + Audeze EL8) to pure eargasm. The clarity at even crazy EQ levels is astonishing. I'm being a bit modest with the volume on the Lyr2, but even so there is no distortion. The music is smooth as silk but with all the extra bass I love with this genre. I equate this new setup to the subwoofer I have in my car. The regular speakers are all pretty awesome (Hertz Hi Energy), but the sub just adds that extra bit of amazing to electronic (and I can turn it down with its own knob too). Adding Loki was like adding a subwoofer to my headphone system. If you are a basshead, you need this.

I really wish that they started doing knobs like this earlier. The notch on my Asgard 2 is basically impossible to see with my glasses off.
