Haha, don't let the picture fool you. I've only ever left that M8 at home once since I got it. It's my constant work-on-the-go coffee shop companion. 

  The desk and shelf is of the IKEA Galant series. If you notice, I put the back on upside-down to allow room for the cables to stick out the back of the Schiit units.    http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70173945/#/30173952

  Under the perimeter of my desk is a cable tray and two rows of those black plastic C-clips to keep the longer runs of audio and power cables separate.    You read my mind regarding the extra space for a 27" Thunderbolt display: That's exactly the plan I have for the near future ;)

  Yes, you're definitely not alone. Moving the equipment is easy. The worst part is re-running all the XLR, USB, and power cables under my desk -- and doing it cleanly (I'm a little OCD this way...).  

Thanks! This is the result of half a dozen different places on my desk, under my desk on a shelf, etc. I figured in this arrangement the Schiit stack would to be "on display" if that makes sense.    Good eye on spotting the the Emotiva Airmotiv 4S monitors! They are fantastic. Nice punchy bass...

Finally got everything setup just right.  

It's great to read about the folks at Schiit. Alex's influence (and really everyone at Schiit) definitely seems to come through in the attention to ordering and follow-up customer service. I've ordered several things from Schiit (more than my bank account would like) and never once was I ever in...

I've been happy with a set of XLR cables I ordered from BlueJean Cable. Their RCA interconnects are also very nice for the price. I like that they offer different color options (I went with the blue cabling) and you can get exactly the length you need...

  That was me who posted about USB problems. I'll respond here, although I don't believe the problem I'm experiencing is due to my Schiit equipment. I have a late-2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15" running Mavericks --> Schiit Wyrd --> Gungnir --> Mjolnir, then split to either HD 650 headphones or...

I have the AKG K712 Pros and use them with a Lyr. The Voskhod Rockets made all the difference to giving them a bit more depth and bass response.

+1

  I'll chime in for the Control Freak - it does work well and is very convenient with allowing passive volume control from the Mjolnir's balanced pre-outs to a pair of powered Airmotiv 4s monitors. Nice smooth rotation and has some heft to it. Plus, as quite a large, black volume control knob...

In my particular situation (YMMV), the Wyrd seems to work as promised. Nothing less, and nothing magical. My MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 has a slight issue in that I can hear the electrical activity of the processor as intermittent static coming through the USB port and into my Schiit stack...

Will do. Apparently the Wyrd shipped today, so I may have it as soon as Monday. edit: here is my brief writeup about my initial experience with the Wyrd. Let me know if you have any questions :) http://www.head-fi.org/t/724519/schiit-decrapifier-released-usb-power-isolator#post_10679088

Just ordered the Wyrd. Should be here by end of next week. I was debating the iFi Purifier and the iUSB Power after reading some positive reviews of both. I'm having usb noise issues from my MacBook Pro, so hopefully the Wyrd might work similarly as the Purifier for the same price.

I wanted to report back on my experience with the Telefunken E88CC platinum grade tubes I mentioned ordering a while back from Upscale Audio. I had a delay because I had to send my Lyr back to Schiit for a HV transformer replacement. The tragedy that was having the Tele's sitting on my desk with...

Working today at a coffee shop I realized that I forgot my Hifi-M8. So, I'm stuck listening with my ER-4PT IEMs through my MacBook Pro's headphone jack. "First World" problem, I know, but the experience is indescribably terrible in comparison.   It's amazing to consider how much I've taken for...

Are the Mjolnir pre-outs supposed to automatically switch off when I plug in my headphones, as the Asgard does? Not an issue either way, but wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. I could be, but that'd be for a different forum, I suppose :)

Hey folks - what do you think might be the cause of a slight hum from only the right XLR pre-out on my Mjolnir amp? The left pre-out and the front ports are all dead silent. There's nothing else connected to the amp inputs, and I tried swapping the left and right cables to my powered Airmotiv...

  Thanks! Yes, the VMODA XS are on ears. Jude's First Look video sold me on them. I have average sized ears, so the XS feels very comfortable to me. I'd imagine the Momentums would work fine for me given what I've read so far: for over ears, the Momentums tend to be a bit smaller in fit than...

Lots of great reading on this thread! I think I'm finally caught up with the posts (whew).   It's taken a couple of years, but I finally have my complete Schiit setup at home and at work:   At home I'm alternating between a Gungnir + Mjolnir combo with balanced Senn HD650s and a Gungnir +...

Just picked up a pair of the Telefunken E88CC platinum grade tubes from Upscale Audio. Seemed to be a great deal. I'm looking forward to trying these out in my Lyr with a pair of HD650s.    http://www.upscaleaudio.com/telefunken-e88cc-6922/   At this point, I'll be comparing the Telefunken...

  I have the cables made by CableJive. Seem to be reasonably priced, good quality, and just the right length.    CableJive iBoltz XS. Extra Short (12cm) Lightning to USB Sync and Charge Cable.  Link: http://amzn.com/B00FARSS8O CableJive iStubz. (7cm) 30-pin to USB Sync and Charge Cable...

So jealous! Still waiting on mine :/

Eagerly awaiting my HiFi M8 ordered on March 18. Anyone have word on shipping from Centrance?
