Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Are there any updates on Sol production? I'm buying a new table and have been waiting for a couple months as I want to buy the Sol as I have my own cartridges and such but if it's gonna be another 3 months... PLEASE.- therealness

Christmas came early for all of you that haven’t boughten this thing yet. Monoprice code: SUPER125 Add the MoTHX and $20 in random cables you likely need and you get $125usd off your order. I’m tempted to buy a second one for home.- therealness

I was going to join the drop and get the 788 for home but then remembered that Monoprice was going to release a new version of the 788 next year and I'd rather just wait for that...- therealness

Agreed. I find that songs mastered to be pushed into your ears can get a nice peaceful rounding of the sharp corners. I also find that it can make songs with small vocal layering sound a bit odd. I generally leave it on now and turn it off when things sound bad rather than vice versa. It’s...- therealness

When I got the unit, I turned DiRAC on and didn’t like it because I don’t like many DSPs. I tried it a month later and was immediately impressed. Honestly the next best thing to listening to actual speakers.- therealness

Ok. I own a studio and I’m gonna step in here. Buy the monolith. Save the money. Unless you live in music, it’s likely overkill for features you don’t need. Wait for a Monoprice sale and buy it. It’s honestly amazing and so reasonably priced. The dac chips alone are $100, I can only imagine the...- therealness

I got mine in the mail yesterday (from the sale day), found a windows computer, flashed it with minor headaches (XMOS drivers), and then hooked it up. Sounds great using Audirvana+ and my modded 58X's. Don't have a ton of dac/amp's to compare but it was worth the money for me as a dual unit...- therealness
