Aaannd the bill is here: 81.50 CHF. A bit less than expected.

So far nothing but I am sure the bill will arrive eventually. I'll post again when I know the exact amount.

I received mine yesterday. It was interesting to follow the FedEx tracking from San Diego to Switzerland and a bit annoying to see the package waiting for 3.5 days in Memphis. I don't now how many times I pressed refresh during those 3.5 days :-) But now it is here and everything is good. It is...

Not sold out yet, but only 27 left.   I ordered mine back in February and I am counting the days since (only 17 days + shipping time). I can't wait!   It is very generous from Dan to offer the first 250 Units of the AEON for 100$ less as a thank you to Head-Fi. Think of it, 250x100$ is a...

Jason, what are you doing? A wise man once said:   SCNR :)

  Nice post, with some very good thoughts. I like the honesty of Schiit and I guess we won't be seeing comments like this from the CEOs of Apple, BMW or so.   After buying and selling quite some gear over the last two years and working my way up to high end, I have come to the point where I...

  The thing I dislike most about my audio system is that I can't take it everywhere. I have my desktop setup but if I want to listen to good quality music in bed or at work I need a second or third setup.   So yes, I would be very interested in a   USB for charging and connecting to...

  Damn, you just killed Kickstarter.   ;-)

  I have seen a similar development with hotel bookings. Many Hotels have now a policy that guarantees the lowest price on their own website. Not on booking.com, venere or something like that. You can still use one of the booking sites, but you won't get a better deal.   As a customer this is...

  Europe is complicated, many countries and many rules. Most countries are in the EU, but not all. Those in the EU have the Euro, but not all. And so on.   I have posted this on another thread already but the main problem I see is VAT. Switzerland hat 8%, Luxembourg 15%, UK 20% and Danmark...

Hi Mark,   It's getting a bit off-topic but let me explain my problem as a resident in Switzerland: VAT.   As far as I can see, both you and schiit-europe.com don't take in mind, that not every country in Europe is in the EU and has the same VAT. So if I order from you, I end up paying 20%...

  I would add one more point: 3. Interesting/Meaningful work   I've seen companies loose good engineers by wasting their talent on tasks that a trained monkey could accomplish. Not every task at work is interesting of course, but if you get home day after day with the sensation of having...

Quote:   To be fair, the prices are not much different that those on schiit.com and there is an extensive explanation why prices are like they are in the FAQ. If you buy from schiit.com you will have to pay VAT, if you order from schiit-europe.com it's included in the price. And if you live...

  One day is nothing. We do have a little thing called "Christmas Shopping" here in Switzerland, it begins early October. :-)       You have my respect for this. I used to work in presales for a US software company and the sales world is crazy. Highest salaries in the firm (2x of an...

It might be not that easy. There are plenty of ways to avoid taxes in the EU like the "Double Irish with a Dutch sandwich" (Google does it, as well as Apple, Amazon, etc.). But not all countries in Europe are EU members and not all EU members have the Euro as a currency. And shipping would still...

Personally I think it is great what Schiit is doing. Taking the time and risk to build a good product for 99$ in the US. Respect. And it is an awesome marketing fact within the US. Every single review made about Schiit gear states "it's made in the USA". But for the 700 million potential...

Amen! I work as a Linux engineer and in this field there are many people without perspective. Engineers that know much more than me and are probably much smarter but when it comes down to getting things done they are less efficient because they have totally lost perspective. Does it matter if...

I have Raspyfi running and it works out of the box. Connection with USB to a FiiO E17 Alpen as well as the ALO PanAm worked right away.   It's a nice little setup consuming very little power and taking very little space on the desk. You can use a smartphone or any other pc to control the MPD...
