    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    So my DAC card in my Jot2 bit the dust. It was the previous version of the Multibit internal dac. It has served me well. I'm thinking about upgrades now that I can't even listen to music without high pitched squeels and hisses. It's headache inducing. I guess is the route to go sell the Jot2...

    Impossible to keep up with this thread but i picked up an Aegir last week and it’s heavy! it’s also awesome! Looking to get a second one used as well. So i can get that sweet sweet monoblock config goin.

    I love silver and black schiit equally. I don't discriminate. Well i take that back. i wish all black schiit had black knobs and all silver schiit had silver knobs. But I'm colorblind anyway. Guess i'm going to the dog pound to drop off this outdated Freya.

    Devo runs deep in the heart of me and my father. He's a total new wave junkie. Unrelated note. Does anyone have a schiit sol still running? How has it been this far along?

    I got a schiit email advertising the Ragnarok 2 and I thought they released a new version. Almost swallowed my tongue. Schiit emails are pretty far and few between and mostly for new product announcements. Did anyone else get this email?

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Maybe i missed something in the past but is there a backstory or anything to Schiit chassis design? I know previous models have had screws in the top so there has been so evolution. To me the Schiit chassis helps Schiit stand out. It’s part of the image obviously because it’s the face of all...

    It sounds the same in black. Don’t let the color of the component hold you back. The amp is awesome. The newer silver Modi from TX is dope. I also love love love the new “S” on top. I’ve had the previous printed logo scrape off over time. Considering the Red accents on the Hel and Heretic...

    Tube phono pre limited production sounds awesome. It’ll go nicely with my limited production swapped silkscreen printed Syn. 🪢

    I used to work in professional / commercial audio and balanced was all we would use but we were running XLR hundreds of feet. I think as long as you are aware and careful with your wiring single ended is just fine for home audio. That being said my system is completely balanced except for the...

    This has been quite a roller coaster for me. I’m sure it would have come to light eventually but Jason’s direct community involvement through this forum has expedited that process. One of many reasons to love and appreciate the treasure that Schiit is. Thank you @Jason Stoddard for your...

    Just a recommendation, Novocaine (and heck even the rest of the album) by Amber Rubarth on the album Sessions of the 17th Ward is currently blowing my mind. The Binaural recording is giving the Syn a whole lot to play with. It’s completely enveloping.

    Syn feeding into my Gal pals and a mono Rekkr. I’m using Emotiva speakers but an S2000 MTM as the center. Adding a center really helped smoothing things out and after we got the knob confusion sorted it’s really settling into place.

    So if the PCB is right and the Top is wrong… what about the manual? Because mine are showing correct symbols but the knobs definitely do not do what it is labeled.

    I think The Center Knob and Surround Knob are mislabeled. I think all internal wiring is correct. The knobs are just switched. So Surround knob adjusts center and Center knob adjusts surround. I'm going to trying plugging in things differently to verify...

    Gotcha. I was using a YouTube video that would switch between left right channels. I see how that would not let the decoding would obviously not work with that. The more I understand how it works, the more I realize how dumb it is to expect it to work how I initially expected. Things are...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    It’s honestly hard to put to words what it does. I’m pretty sure the surrounds are just the mains with delay and the “vocal” range of frequencies mostly removed. My main problem with surround channel interpretation is the when doing Left and Right testing both Left and Right would come out of...

    Ah you replied to my comment right when i made my other post. I totally agree. It doesn’t do anything the way i thought it would. The knobs and everything leave me super confused at times. Honestly i would click through settings without really looking at the unit, and find a setting that i...

    Syn related: Something perplexing I’m finding… I’ve dug through the manual and settings on the Syn. Double checked my wiring and everything. I cannot for the life of me get separate surround channel separation. No matter what setting they both play the exact same sounds. I get a combination of...

    check me out, living in syn. In the processes of wiring surround speakers. Will report soon.

    Got my replacement Rekkr yesterday! Unfortunately had to work late on Saturday and work early on Sunday… have yet to plug it in yet. As long as it’s better than that other piece of Schiit i had to return, I’ll be satisfied. My Syn should be here tomorrow morning. I have two Gal-pals waiting to...

    watching the re run of that Schiit livestream and Jason name dropped another upcoming product. Ginnungagap. Apparently there was some internal pushback against that name but still… new product, new mystery. Anybody know what he was talking about?

    This is odd timing. My love for home theater and my love of Schiit have kind of been treated like 2 different hobbies. Before moving i had a 7.1.4 surround sound set up. It was amazing. But there was something special, if not more special, about a polite 2ch stereo system listening to music. Do...

    Can i preorder this Syn without knowing what it is? I’ll stay off the internet until i get the package… There has been way too much buzz around this mystery project i almost don’t want to know what it is ever, it’s been too much fun!

    Haha yeah, I need to get a longer USB Cable but I have a better power conditioner en route for my living room set up so that whole arrangement will be getting a glance over soon enough. but in the mean time it's an evil knievel modi.
