Ugh, another one bites the dust, hate to hear it. Life's too short to drink Empire beer... luckily I live in the Bay Area where the craft beer scene is top class!

Well I guess I'm in trouble... been using IEMs since the early days of Etymotic so almost 20 years and continue to do so, onto bluetooth IEMs now. I do listen at lower volumes than I would otherwise thanks to the sound isolation.

@Jason Stoddard I've read a few times now about something – either circuitry or a feature set – not fitting into a chassis. Is one of the current self-imposed design restrictions the chassis size? What would you have done differently if you were able to go to, say, a 12" chassis width for the...

Therein lies the problem. If folks want to put themselves into a bad situation with credit cards, that's typically outside retailer control, but actually offering financing IMO promotes this type of bad consumer behavior. I put furniture stores in the same pot as new and used car sales...

Probably not but I find Pete's house coffee tastes more like burnt ashes than Starbucks. Obligatory Schiit topic: I'll email Schiit if this particular problem persists, but has anyone had issues with the headphone jack on Lyr 2 (or possibly other hp amps with preamp capability) where taking...

Do you mean HI (vs LO) gain on the Lyr 2 as opposed to 1? The Lyr 2 has a gain switch but the Saga does not to my knowledge. According to the manuals, Saga has a fixed gain of 1 (0 db) and the Lyr 2 is Hi = 10 (20db) or Lo = 1.5 (3.5db). I take that to be relative to the input signal, which...

I don't see it, but never say never. I for one am not affected by this FOMO and do not care to pursue that path, but if you do purchase a Brooklyn to check it out, please do and report back!

Digital EQ hasn't been working for me either so the new Loki is very tempting. How does one physically stack a Loki sized component between a Bimby and a Lyr 2? Looks like I'm going to have to place the Loki on its side next to the mid-size Schiit stack given my lack of horizontal desk space...

I confess that I have between 80 and 100 linear feet of vinyl, mostly jazz, many of which has not seen a digital release other than from a ripped LP. Alas, since the birth of my son just over 5 years ago I have barely added any vinyl and the number of dedicated LP listening sessions has dropped...

Someone mentioned Ety's. They would have to come from this family of earphones: https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/earphones.html I used Ety 4Ps for almost a decade before "tiring" of its awesome flat response. I bring Etymotic ER-20xs "high fidelity" ear plugs with me to concerts. [Etymotic...

i just read through the manual, thanks.  Got some laughs out of it, too.

Nice!  What a clean looking product and board.  But is there no official picture of the remote control?

I'm a little late to the game but just submitted my MB order. Guess the rush is over or Schiit is working double time as I'm only 6th in line!

Ok, I received the micro B to mini B USB cable but my iPhone 6 doesn't want to work with the chain:   iPhone --> Lightning to micro B USB adapter --> micro B to mini B USB cable --> Fulla --> headphones   When plugged in the phone displays this message:     and while I did get some hum...

No, not yet.  I've received items from HK in as few as 3 days but this time around no such luck.

  Yes, they do.  However, I went with the adapter and cable posted earlier by Yethal to shave a few inches of cable hanging off the phone.  To accomplish the same, you could go with the Apple cable and find a small USB type A to mini-B adapter but overall that solution would be bulkier than...

I'm officially Fulla Schiit now.  Picked it up from the post office this morning and listened to a few songs.  Some observations:   The Fulla can drive a HD 600 way past what my MacBook Pro's native headphone out can do, with "fulla" soundstage and extension at both ends. With my Westone 3...

  Not sure if you've seen this thread, found it via search:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/649810/battery-powered-usb-hub   I wasn't aware battery powered USB hubs even existed.   I just ordered a Fulla with the intent to use it with my MacBook Pro to drive IEMs and sealed cans while...

Yethal, the Lightning to Micro USB adapter has this in the description     If the adapter allows for USB audio, then it would be ok.  Have you experience with this adapter?

  Well, any product can be a DIY project if you want it to be.  Just look at all the HD 800 mods.   Anyways, with my stock pair, I'm happier than a pig in schiit, not at all tempted to mod it at this time.  I don't mind reading about it though, because it shows that an already great headphone...

As mentioned in the product page, check here for some connection related information, including caveats and hubs:   http://schiit.com/guides/getting-connected   I have an iPhone 6, so I'm kinda wary myself in having to get the Lightning to USB cable and then not having a good experience with...

  Ah, I didn't realize that!  I wouldn't want to constantly remove and reinstall the cable.  I envision it would take a rather large travel case to allow for non-destructive coiling of the connected cable, the stock cable at any rate.

Not sure if you don't want a Hifiman case at all or simply didn't know about the Hifiman travel case specifically designed for the HE-560 but it lists for $29 on the hifiman web site:   http://www.head-direct.com/Products/?act=detail&id=207   Looks well padded as it should for a custom...

ThurstonX, that looks pretty good.  I like the custom rack for your Schiit stack, too.  All my headphones currently sit on Sennheiser HH-10 holders off the side of my desk but I'm leaning towards an omega-like stand for the HE-560, too, to showcase it of course!

Like Mike in Bama I also received an open box HE-560 earlier this week from Razordog.  I don't know how many hours it has, if any, so I'll give it some time before some serious judgment.  At the moment, driven by a Lyr 2, it sounds a lot like my HD600 only the bass is much, much tighter and more...
