CANCELLED - 5th Annual Wicked Schiit Meet - New England - Oct 26, 2024 - CANCELLED

[gc335]

Cancelled!

Due to unforeseen medical reasons, the meet needs to be cancelled. We will try to reschedule. I will post updates as I have them.

______________________

10/03/2024 Update: We are about three weeks from the meet! Please make sure you vote so I can get a headcount for food. If you don't vote, I can't guarantee that you will get food. We are probably going to order assorted Panera lunch boxes like we had last year so we will be ordering one meal per confirmed attendee. It has a sandwich in it, chips, and a cookie. If you have preferences or allergies, please let me know.

Gear list has been updated! See below. We will have the yet to be released Gungnir 2 and the just released Gunnr!

Save the date! There will be updates coming soon. We are at the same location as last year.

Here is the link for the impression thread from the 2023 meet.

There will be more details to follow. I just wanted to make a post so people could keep the day free. Spread the word!

FYI, there is also another Schiit Meet in Brooklyn, NY the weekend prior (10/19/2024). I will probably attend that as well and I'm up for carpooling if you are in the RI/MA area and would like to go. Here is the link for that meet.

[Cat Whisperer Bob]

Hi all,
Looking forward to this year’s Schiit meeting, last year was fun and I loved trying out the great selection of gear that everyone has. I actually made substantial upgrades to my system after that meeting.
My tentative gear list will be:
Aune S17 Pro amp
Musician Pegasus DAC
ZMF Auteur Classic headphones
Fostex TH-909 Headphones OR Hifiman HEK Stealth

 

[bagwell359]

I'll be there. I'll figure out equipment to bring when the date is close, and I'll backfill.

 

[Mullet]

Wouldn't miss it for the world. Gear list to come.

 

[chronoso]

I'm in. I'll work up a gear list in the next couple weeks. Folkvangr and HD800S at least, for sure.

 

[cangle]

@gc335 Do you know if any of the new products announced in the last Schiit livestream like the Gungnir 2 will make an appearance at this meet?

 

[cangle]

I'll be there. Not positive on what I'll bring but will probably have the following:
Apex Teton, Eksonic T2, Bricasti MC1, and a variety of headphones. If there's anything in my signature that you really want to hear, let me know, and I'll try to bring it along.

 

[Ishcabible]

Bumping this up, I’ll be there!

Headphones: ZMF Caldera, ZMF Atrium, Audio Technica AD2000, potentially ADX3000 if a new unit can make it out in time
Amplifiers: Esoteric A100, DIY Sangaku
DAC: Modded PS Audio DirectStream

I’ll also bring my KB501X measurement rig if anyone wants measurements of their headphones.

Nice! Glad you can make it. We are getting close!

Sorry, I missed this. Yes, the Gungnir 2 should be there. We had it at CanJam SoCal which was an awesome show. I will update the full gear list soon. I think it has been nailed down at this point.

No worries. Was nice to run into you in Socal and try the Gungnir 2. Hopefully hifi for all will be sending the Dahlia too. -Chris

Same! Sorry, didn't connect the screen name with a face.

I just spoke to Nick at HiFi for All. He is sending a Dahlia.

 

[TheDJHastings]

Non-sequitur, but anyone have a Focal Azurys they can bring? Very interested to try this one.

 

[Mark Up]

Will have my one and only customized pair to wear and compare to the gear that is there. Hey, that rhymes.

 

[Mullet]

I'll be bringing my IanCanada based Raspberry Pi Streamer DAC with Volumio as the player. In terms of amps, I'm thinking Krell KSA-5 clone and maybe Cavalli EHHA Rev A. For phones... Senn HD800S. Arya Organic. Focal Clear.
