5th Annual Wicked Schiit Meet - New England - March 22, 2025

[gc335]

Will be planning to attend. Newer to the area but was privileged to be able to join the Center Hill TN group in the past a number of times. Also looks like I'll be bringing along a friend that has little knowledge of nicer HD equipment but is very interested.

If my time allows, will drag along an equipment setup too. A First Watt F-1 current source amp with balanced HD adapter would the center of it.

CJ

Great! Glad you and your friend can make it.

Quick update... Unfortunately, we will not get the Valhalla 3. The is no stock yet to send. We'll have a Lyr+ instead. Speaking of Lyr+, we will be giving one away to a luck attendee.

I will be ordering from Panera the middle of next week. Please vote if you have not done so already. If you are a maybe, please select attending or no longer able to make it so I have a good headcount for food. Please let me know if you have any dietary restrictions. The meals will be chips, cookie, and a sandwich along with assorted drinks. If you have a specific Panera sandwich that you would like, let me know. I will make a best efforts to get what people want.

I've been browsing a bit more in an effort to build my first stack and was wondering if the Magni Piety would be available here to try? Will Schiit products be sold here or only for demo purposes?

So excited for this as a first-time attendee!

I'll be coming towards the afternoon so I don't mind if there's no food left. I can always fend for myself lol. I'm also happy to pick up anything for the Schiit staff if it's on the way. Just let me know on here.

I brought mine last year but I sold it after the meet. I don't see one on the list yet. Maybe someone has it, saw this post and can bring it. You will have a bunch of stuff to try and you can figure out what works best for you. Who knows, you might win a Lyr+!

We will not having anything to buy at the meet but you can go to the Schiit website to order.

We had leftovers last year. You should be good. There is a fridge there. If I know you are coming, I will order for you and just put it in the fridge for you. Easy! Nobody went hungry last year!

Glad you can make it. This will be first of many meets for you I'm sure!

It’s looking like I won’t have the ES2a to bring but I will have an Aurorus Audio Quasar as a substitute!

I’m on the fence about if I want to lug my bigger gear, it’ll depend mostly on how well my stuff pairs with gear I can put in a suitcase.

Hi! I might be able to go (I go to college in the boston area and absolutely loved CanJamNYC last month)

I could bring my HE1000 stealth and Focal Elex (if it arrives on time maybe the stax L300 too).

I can bring mine. You can also just borrow it if you want. I've had it sitting in it's box for ages

That would be amazing! I'd feel bad borrowing it haha. If I like it, I would love to negotiate a price if you're okay with parting with it. Either way, very appreciative if you bring it. I won't be there until closer to 1:30 or 2pm so don't feel the need to stick around if you have other commitments.

Not utterly impossible I could make it. Kids events etc to contend with.

If I did, I could bring Bifrost 2 / Jotunheim 1 / HiFiMan He6se (v1), and possibly Mjolnir 2 (my Folkvangr is in the shop preemptively getting the connector fixed before it runs out of warantee, and I don't want to cart around my Gumby or Yggy). But no guarantees yet.

One question - what do you all use as sources for all these endpoints? If I just bring an Amp & DAC, what are we playing off of?

Great! Hope you can make it.

I bring an old laptop with a bunch of music files on it for my stuff. The is no wifi at the venue.

If anyone has Focal Utopia OG version, I’d love to hear it again and potentially buy if looking to part with.

Thanks, good to know! I wonder if I even have anything to obviously play off of. I use Roon, HQPlayer & Ropieee everywhere, and with my Mac I don't have any obvious USB-C to USB-B cables. Though maybe I have a dongle sitting around somewhere. But that means putting local media on my computer. Ugh, I know this sounds funny but my home setup is so dialed in that not having WiFi may present a stumbling block for me...

Can you hotspot to your phone?

This looks like it's going to be a fun meet. I wish I could make it.
