Ya. Even though this is a headphone enthusiast site, there are a handful of us who are really into 2-channel gear. I actually do have a Saga on order with the Vidar, and yes, that can be used to add that bit of tube sound. A hybrid style amp would just be cool and fun to play with. It...

Heck, a hybrid amp with LISST tubes as an option would be kinda cool too. But before we get to that, I'd like the backlog on Vidar orders to get cleared out. I hate waiting.

I ordered a Saga and Vidar today. I already have a Bifrost (older model, I will eventually have it upgraded). The order status kinda made me laugh: (Vidar is on backorder) These will be used with my Revel M105s. I also intend to eventually add a subwoofer.

That photo got me thinking... what's the largest Schiit stack that you could do with the Modi-sized chassis now? Throw in a Mani, SYS, Eitr, and for entertainment, a couple of Wyrds... I'm not saying it should be done, but it would be funny to see it. As to EQ, I say good! Those of us who...

I'll post the direct link to the video here when it starts, then.

Schiit's facebook page is public, so you should be able to watch the livestream without registering. You would have to go to facebook.com/schiit directly. Edit: Used private browsing to test this. If you type the address in directly, then click on videos in the left column, you should be able...

If you saw an Aztek on the road today, you wouldn't even notice it. It was ugly, yes, and it had its issues, but a lot of the design was very forward-looking. It share an overall shape that isn't out of place among today's CUVs.

None of the headphone amps have used a modular design. Everything gets shoved onto a single board. This is likely due to a mix of cost effectiveness, thermal requirements, and wanting to make things fit into the form factor. Ragnarok uses a modular design with at least 2 daughterboards, which...

  Given the redesign and improved thermals, is there any chance that you would ultimately recommend using the Vidar's monoblock configuration with 4-ohm speakers? This might just be me, but if I have a balanced source and a balanced preamp, I want to run the amps balanced as well. Even if the...

  Ouch.   I know it's cost-effective, and that's why they went with the small remote, but man, I will lose that thing within 15 minutes.

  I'm very happy that we're getting a remote, because I won't buy a preamp that doesn't have one.   But he did say to mention if we would be willing to pay for a better quality remote.  Presumably it would be offered separately, or as an upgrade, and wouldn't affect people who are fine with...

Well, put me firmly in the "would pay for a better quality remote."   Especially if it's heavy.  The heavy remotes never seem to get lost.  The light ones always end up inside the couch, or the refrigerator, or in other odd places.

The show has been open to the public for 11 minutes now.  Where's the info?  Come on, people!   Seriously, though, I wish I had been able to attend this year.  New gear is fun.

  I'm anxiously awaiting pictures.   $1400 for a balanced pre-amp with a selectable input stage and 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms.  That is a stupidly good deal in today's market.   Mix it with a Gungnir (non multi-bit) and you're still under $2500.   Use the amps in mono and mix it...
