If we're getting the full story here, your attorneys are, quite frankly, very likely incorrect. Not that you should trust me - but you should get a second opinion from outside counsel rather than relying solely on in-house counsel (or one group of outside counsel). If they are telling you this...

Uh. Basically every vendor I've ever ordered from has kept me appraised of delays beyond the originally stated shipping date. I have literally hundreds of emails from a variety of places informing me of shipping date slips.

I have some Norne Audio cables. I notice absolutely zero sonic difference, I just wanted cables that looked cool and had a balanced to single ended adapter I could attach them to.

I don't think that's fair. As much as I love Schiit, I've had multiple experiences with the expected shipping date being off by orders of magnitude. I ordered a Yggdrasil and Ragnarok at the start of May in 2016, and in the end of June I got told it could be another 2+ months. I cancelled and...

  The fulla is a portable device. It makes a lot of sense for a portable device to be an all in one.   I'd be willing to wager quite a bit they are not doing an all in one piece for desktop uses.

Things I wait for anxiously:   New chapters The Mani to come back in stock

It makes a lot of sense - it's a new platform. Do you want to be having the discussion each time of which Modi USB you have? The one with the upgraded firmware, or without? Now it's simple. You have the Modi 2, for the USB version with the new firmware, and the Modi 2 Uber, for USB + Optical +...

You have pretty high, and in my opinion, unrealistic, expectations for companies to meet.   I don't know of a single company out there that never makes mistakes when it comes to initial productions runs on their products, even with extensive QC. Invariable, something happens, somewhere, and a...

I've only been in IT for a bit over a decade now, but even if you cut it down to just my enterprise datacenter days, over a 3 year span I probably ran into a dozen and a half 3 disk crashes, especially if the disks came from the same lot. Rebuilds are super hard on disks, and the defects in one...

Anyone using their Rag to drive LS50s? They're my desktop speakers, so being able to consolidate my emotiva stack for them with my schiit stack for my headphones would save me some desk space. I don't really blast the volume, so I'm hoping the drop in wattage won't be a problem.

I would agree with him, particularly on the home consumer end. It was until the 2000s that computer penetration became nearly ubiquitous. I wouldn't say infancy - the consumer computer industry is currently an awkward teenager that doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up - are the...

I leave this thread for a few days, and come back in to find everything is in a world of schiit.

Glad to hear you'll be taking orders again soon. I hope you keep producing the Skulds - I've had my eye on getting one with 4 pin XLR connector and an XLR to TRS adapter for my LCD-2s!   I know I'll be checking back here in August.

Quote: Considering I currently have an Emotiva XDA-2 and UPA-200 taking up a fair amount of space on my desk for my desktop speaker setup, quite possibly.   My bedroom setup uses a cheapo receiver with the only source being HDMI from my HTPC. If the statement gear can drive my...

Quote: Who are these people?   Ah well - as the owner of a Lyr and Bifrost (Newly upgraded to Uber! status), thanks for making great products. They sound great, they look great, and they're a joy to use. I think I'm going to start saving for the statement gear...   Here's to looking...

Quote: I demo'ed my LCD-2s from thecableco before I ended up buying them. You have to put down a deposit and pay for shipping, but when you go to buy something you can put that deposit towards the price, and the shipping on the product will be free. Well worth it to try it out for 2 weeks...

Quote: Yep! Thanks :D   Pulling the trigger on the upgrade now.

Quote: Ah, I was thinking about sending it in to get it done.   Are there any guides/how-tos anyone has written on how to do the replacement? I'm not uncomfortable with the thought of doing the swap myself with a bit of hand holding. I've done a bit of repair on other electronics I've...

So, Lyr / LCD-2.2 owners that have also owned both the unupgraded Bifrost and the Uber... Is it worth the cost to get it upgraded?   The whole 'being without it' for a while is a bigger detriment to the idea for me than the money, but if it's really worth it, I guess I should go for it.

Quote: I am completely inept with describing how audio changes, and I honestly have no idea what people mean most of the time when they start going off onto detailed descriptions. The best I can go with is that it sounds better to me. There's dozens of people who have described how the...

Been listening with some Mullard CV2492s. In love.

Slade, that's some sexy schiit you've got in your setup.

I'm a huge proponent of storing in FLAC or ALAC purely because you never know how encoders are going to change in the future. Look at how much LAME has changed over the past 5 years, for example. With lossless storage you can always encode again when lossy formats change.

I'm an IT professional, and and as such I'm pretty analytical in basically every aspect of my life... Outside of audio. It's a hubris I allow myself, one of very few, where I disregard everything I normally take into account - numbers, statistics, tests, etc etc etc. and instead go purely based...
