I like Schiit's business approach and enthusiasm. They seem to have very well thought out plans and ideas backed up with amazing quality service. They also seem to know how to cater to people who don't care about all the electrical terminology. I think "Schiit" is a great marketing name; look at all the attention they're already getting. I'm looking forward to the Asgard, hopefully the sound will live up to the hype.

Man I would love to try these but unfortunately I have this thing where I need all my audio equipment to be black =(
 
Surely a black chassis would match your company name better? Lol definitely not as well as the color brown though.   

Same dilemma here. Love the design, but I was never a fan of the silver-type color scheme, plus, everything else I own is sleek black. Different color options would really be the icing on the cake!

I'm sure there are places that could do anodizing, though.  I know of folks that do custom computer mods that have their cases anodized.  That would make the most sense...

PS - Can you anodize metal that has already been anodized?  Does it need to be stripped first, somehow?
 

 

 
Yes, it would need to be stripped first.
 
Boyles Snyder in Los Angeles does excellent anodizing work and I believe they have a $90 lot charge. Those who have amps that they want black could probably get together and organize a "group mod" of sorts and split the costs.

I heard there was some Schiit happening in this thread!
 
Well, I must say that I'm intrigued! It's not too often you see amp manufacturers with an in-your-face colourful approach.
 
The minimalist designs are gorgeous and I'm eager to see some reviews.

Skimmed briefly through their website. They have a very good sense of humor. I like it.

Yeah, send 'em 250 bux and they'll send you a free eval unit you can keep!

I see what you did there lol. But yeah, the 15-day guarantee thing is really tempting.

I think I laughed harder at that than I should have.

I ordered an Asgard a couple of minutes ago. First headphone amp to go with new HD650s. I hope it's as awesome as it looks.

I was really tempted by the no questions asked 15-day guarantee as well, then I realized that it takes, what, like a week at least to burn in an amp (and even then, it's only 168 hrs if you leave it running day and night). I doubt it's enough time for me to "try it out" at its full potential so I think I'll just wait for the early reviews.

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.

Agreed.
