That was a bit of a strawman that you started your reply with, there...

Jason et al have always stated that they are not a "me-too" company, with a board and shareholders to please by hitting growth and profit targets. As the biggest shareholder at Schiit, Jason has stated here that he does what he pleases because it pleases him and it's fun. As someone else pointed...

Currently, the majority of sources do no pump audio losslessly via Bluetooth. That will change slowly over time. Regardless, I'd rather not have the extra cost added for a module that I'd never use. As Jason has always said, there are lots of choices out there if a feature that you want isn't in...

Bluetooth in Schiit DACs? Why? Serious question. The Bluetooth audio quality is substandard and lossy. I don't see Schiit as being "...left in the dust" without it. On the contrary, I applaud their focus on quality audio, and that sets them apart from much of the similarly-priced competition.

Well, it was one of the first hits on a lazy Google search, and it is designed as a side-by-side. A single would be cool and is likely out there somewhere.

My rig, a Honda Passport Touring has 93+/- or so buttons (I counted once). I use the screens for navigation, entertainment, or hearing texts, etc. Everything else is a physical and tactile button. As it should be.

Thanks. <big sigh> It's all part of the hobby. Fortunately, I have several other hobbies to keep me occupied when the skies aren't cooperating for astronomy. On a related note, I've been offered - for free - an 8' diameter fibreglass dome. Unused. Just taken out of the box for the photo. It...

Nice setup! I like that laptop stand. Link? A couple advantages to the mount are zero maintenance or lubricating, absolute encoders, and no meridian-flip. That last item sold me.

Sorry to derail the automotive thread on the Schiit Audio forum with some astronomy, but I've had a week. We finally had 4 nights in a row of clear sky in the forecast, so I set up my mount and telescope on the deck. The intent was to take a really deep dive into all that the mount can do as...

I’m fine as long as it’s instrumental music. It helps me to focus.

What make/model are those headphones?

My mother's nursing home roommate (temporary - she'll be moving to a private room in a facility in our hometown sometime this year) is 103. I had 2 great grandparents live to 104 and 106 respectively, and an aunt passed last year at 100.

I have products from 6 of the listed brands. Will Samsung be providing Samsung stickers at a discount for owners of said products? 🤔

OH! I just noticed that the "5" is slightly higher than the Q. Huh. I was focused on the space between the S and the Q, which is not there in their written material.
