My heart skipped a beat just thinking about 600V or so going from finger to toe.
 
That said, yes, we are investigating adding "full scale protection" to all future amps, including intelligence sensor, talking user manual, video tutorials for setup and usage, airbags, crash helmet, call-home alert via wi-fi if the owner tries to do something not recommended in the owner's manual, hermetically sealed environmental bubble, protective non-removable titanium plates covering all inputs and outputs, including the power cord socket--it will definitely make it impossible to hurt yourself or your headphones. . . the only problem is, well, you know, actually making the amp usable.

 
Not for anything but nice demonstration, usage, history/development videos on a Schiit USB drive that is included with the amp/DAC would be very unique and classy.  This way we can find out what's in our Schiit with facts from those who made it.

I've yet to actually hear any Schiit products but I love that they are transparent about their products.  No mystery meat here  I will however be buying a Mjolnir because its the first product out of the Schiit house that has a good chance of competing with amps I have owned which are 2-4x its price.  Should be good times hearing titans fall

Considering your SS amp that would be very interesting.

Seeing how Solude writes his comparisons, any comparisons of his will be interesting. And with the beta22... that amp has a somewhat cult status around here. To me, this seems extremely interesting!

Did anyone else make it to the fourth floor of the Hilton to hear the production Mjolnir last weekend? It was tough for me to make any judgments because there was literally no music that I was familiar with on the laptop that was being used as the source, but it was impressive on a superficial first listen. I liked it better than the HeadRoom BUDA, which is almost 3x the price with the desktop power supply.

I will probably order one so that I can drop it into my system and give it a proper evaluation.

Forgot about this thread I guess.

How do they come up with those names? Do they mean anything?

Put the names into Google and learn a little.

If you are part of the interest list, you should have gotten an email already.

And for everyone interested in Gungnir, we're on-target for August--or perhaps a little earlier . . .

Wish I had $749 laying around!

I am part of the interest list and received the e-mail.  Where do I find my number on the list to insert on the order form as requested?
 
Got it!  Thanks Jason.

Going to wait a while on this unfortunately, perhaps skip til statement at least on the amp. Been car shopping and not sure where I'm going to end up on the expense-o-meter so I'm not buying much of anything lately.
