And I can definitely confirm - cars look WAY nicer, WAY longer in California than they do in Colorado. The hot/cold swings, road gravel, and the lack of atmosphere between us and the sun does a number on the finish pretty quickly. But the mountains are pretty.

And, my favorite part, the selling-direct-without-the-middleman-markup part. I wish all the car companies did that.

Mine as well. I may be in the minority judging by the number of complaints I've seen about the super-bright LEDs on previous models, but I am actually not a big fan of the new light-piped LEDs for this reason. I would rather have the old crisp, but scorching lights than light bleed if I had my...

I just got mine today as well - took FedEx almost a week to get it to Colorado for some reason, which felt almost as long as the backorder wait - but it was definitely worth it. My impressions so far are exactly as you described, MUCH less fatiguing than the D/S DAC I was using previously, but...

Nah, I'm guessing yours will ship by sometime next week, assuming they have enough parts in stock to fill all the backorders. I placed my order on 4/27 and it shipped today. No guarantees, but I doubt current orders will be delayed much past the 6/30 estimate they currently have up as long as...

Got my shipping notice today as well, so they're definitely starting to work their way through the backorders by the looks of it. Have faith, everybody!

Thanks, that's within a few days of my order, so I hope I'm close!

Congrats! I've been waiting for somebody to post that. It lives!! :)

Good to hear. That's exactly what I am hoping for. Hopefully I am not too much further down the backorder list!

For sure, Schiit customer service has been outstanding in my experience. Even through this super long, super annoying backorder delay, they've been very responsive, patient, and polite answering my status inquiries. Under normal non-pandemic circumstances, upgrade turnaround has always been...

Plus there's the added bonus that the BF2 is upgradeable for future possible enhancements which will likely also make it retain better resale value in case you don't decide to keep it.

For sure, last I recall, it was the analog PCB supplier causing the delays from what I heard. I have had nothing but stellar support from Schiit customer service as well and I have nothing bad to say about them whatsoever. I think I'll just take @XERO1 's advice and stop looking at the...

Lol...My sister just moved to Colorado from LA a couple of weeks ago. That would have been convenient.

Yup. While I totally get that circumstances are outside their control and "it is what it is", I would prefer there was just a bit more transparency with this delay. Maybe I'm spoiled since Schiit is normally crazily transparent about almost everything else, and in this case maybe they're just...
