    Schiit Urd Impressions thread

    Yeah same issue here since new. It only seems to happen for me after its been idle for a while. Come back to it, press play, frozen and unresponsive. My Urd has been back for service as well and still has the freezing issue. Just using it as a transport via AES. The work around I've found...

    There are some really good looking anodized bronze/brown options out there.

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

    I feel ya @Rensek and am in the same boat. When they said no way no how we can do a silver MJ3, I felt good about being a launch day customer. Been emailing about silver tops since it was announced and keep getting the "check with us in a couple weeks." I had someone in my office last week...

    I'd have a Skoll in the cart if the good silver was available at product launch. Hoping silver tops can be made available for separate purchase so us silver folk can help with launch demand analysis. Otherwise you have a significant number of potential customers sitting on the sidelines...

    Everyone got a good laugh on my first day at an engineering firm in Houston when I mispronounced Schlumberger.

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Oyaide NEO d+ Class B was plug and play from URD to Yggy and iPad to 2/64. As a bonus, if you order it from Stokyo they usually include a Yo! MTV Raps trading card in the box.

    Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions

    I had a similar experience with a used Mjolnir 2 I recently purchased. I'm guessing it got a little tossed around in shipping. Sent it to Schiit for repairs and had it back in two weeks for a reasonable cost. I'd suggest sending them a note and getting an RMA process started. It's worth it...

    Initial physical URD impressions for some of the previous questions asked. Plenty responsive to commands - no real delays. Quick input/output switching. Possibly improved side IR range based on how it sits in a channel. Tray nicely centered and squared. Simple, clear display is easily read...

    I bet it feels good to get this product out. Congrats, it looks great. Would love to hear more about your opinion on what makes the StreamUnlimted drive special and if the USB host sprinkles any type of reclocking fairy dust on the bits.

    Shout out to the hundreds of sound engineers across the country trying to mic and mix a live orchestra on an open air outdoor stage today. Bonus points if it's a beach gig. Ya'll the real heros.

    Started referring to my Yggy OG as "The Buff" over the memorial day weekend as I thought about a + upgrade. "Built by my grandfather, will be flown by my grandkids." B-52 reference for those wondering. Looking forward to seeing what's in store for it to be re-engined soon.

    For $8,500 I'd expect the AC inlet to be squared up a little better than that.

    100% agree with this. I'm always wondering how it's deemed reasonable to sort through 20 pages of touchscreens going 80+ on the 405. Takes away from doing my makeup at the same time.

    In the motorsports world, everybody knows that anodized aluminum makes things go moar faster. Same principles apply to sound. My vote is for carbon fiber tops. I bet the weight savings would be clearly audible.

    Very cool! Curious if SYN uses the same TI ADC found in the Hel and offers any adjustable mic gain? I can already picture its big brother in a freya chassis splitting out to an array of Tyrs/Vidar 2!
