Excellent! Does anybody know if the 1917 Western Electric papers on pulse-code modulation that Schiit refers to in the Yggdrasil FAQ are available on-line?

Mr. Stoddard,
 
Half a year lost to….., seems about right.  
 
Families seem to do that much planning when a new baby is coming.  
 
Buying a new House seems to take ages to prepare.
 
Cars take a few years to make it into the showrooms. (with plenty of leaks about performance)
 
The Headphone Channel has come a loooooooong way in just 4 years, the Cmoy and T50RP mods were the hot items back then.
 
Extrapolating a bit shows the iPhone7 becoming "Everymans" Audio System. 
 
Today, the guys at Ayre & Chord are doing some "heavy lifting" in the DAC world.  ( including you )
 
Headphones are claiming a nice slice of the High-End pie dollars.  ( when's the last time we learned of someone buying an ARC piece or a pair of Mangapans?) 
 
Who other than Schiit has a "live" connection with the customer base? 
 
[size=x-small]OK, it's painful at times but Schiit's MO is staying in-touch, I don't think you're product teasing but you are [/size]letting[size=x-small] your people know what you're up to.  It's a good thing.  It's who you are and what we love about you.[/size]
 
[size=x-small]Since the Asgard release ( was that 4 years ago?), you've ended up owning the Headphone Meets here in the States, that meet in Cambridge, last week, only had a Valhala & Lyr ( there's work to be done in England ) but you've done it.  Who thought it was gonna be easy? [/size]
 
[size=x-small]I congratulate you and your staff,[/size]
 
[size=x-small]Job well done!,[/size]
 
[size=x-small]Tony in Michigan [/size]
 
[size=x-small]ps.  now, get back to work.  I wanna see ******** and elbows, hup-to, keep those gears greased-up, check those orders, you got time to lean-you got time to clean!, Bob, you're late for work again! and all that sort of day-to-day operational stuff.     [/size]
