For me, if it doesn't sound like Schiit after a few hours of warm up, I should know enough regarding whether or not it's a keeper.  If, instead, it sounds like caca, then it goes back...  Simple.
 
No amount of burn in is going to redeem something that sounds terrible from the get go.

But we want it to sound like Schiit, right?

(I wonder if we'll all look back two years from now and wonder why the poop jokes never stopped...)

I really wish i could keep up with all the people spouting various technical bits regarding these and other amps in this thread.  I envy you all for haveing knowlege in this area.
 
I am also amazed at how many people with pretty high end cans are ordering these.  I though more people really went for expensive amps, but i suppose many of you already have those
 
i have to admit, this company and thread got my attention.  Ill definitely be giving an attentive ear to the reviewers.
 
by the way.. what a crap name for a company... couldn't resist...

By the way, for those who are ordering from California, is TAX included and how much is shipping?

I feel this is a very attractive gear,would wait to check the initial impressions before jumping on the band wagon.

I did not order from California, but there was no tax and FedEx Home Delivery was ~$11. USPS was $20 and the other options were $30 and above (2nd Day, Overnight FedEx).

This thread is the "Schitt" over 140 posts in five days-it's got legs.

The impressions thread should be separated so that we won't have to scour through all this talk of how to paint and modify this schiit

According to a friend who just ordered one, sales tax is NOT included.  Shipping to San Francisco cost him around $10

Two years? I'm already wondering that now.

These amps seem like nice products, they might be on my shopping list if I didn't already own a $300-400 headphone amp. But I think the name is horrible. If you are selling the product through a forum like Head-Fi where there you can talk directly to your target customers who have an intimate understanding of the product category, the name doesn't matter. But if you eventually plan to advertise in channels besides Head-Fi announcement threads, then people over 12 might find the name a turn-off. I know I do.

Say it as 'Sheet' then. Sounds better that way.

FYI there is an Asgard Unboxing and First Impressions thread started by Jude:

Folks in that thread are patiently awaiting impressions of the sound.
