Pre-ordered!

Well, I took myself off the pre-order list, but not because of anything remotely negative. I decided I needed to get some time in with the new Decware Taboo on the way, and a couple of the tubes I want to roll in it. And then I plan to return and try out the Lyr.
Can't wait to hear everyone's listening impressions, especially with the LCD-2.

I have been on the waiting list for approx 7 weeks now. With only two more to go there is no way that I am pulling out. I start counting down in multiples of days soon. Even moved funds to my Internet account in anticipation.
Next it will be back to dreaming of a Schiit DAC.

Pulled the trigger on the preorder. Can't wait to hear this with my Thunderpants.

Hey all,
Just a quick production update, on the good news/bad news frequency.
Good news: We'll start shipping a little bit early, on the 25th of February. We'll be shipping per order date--earliest orders are shipped first. I expect the bulk of pre-orders will be shipped by the 1st, but some may slide later in the week.
Bad news: the first run is completely sold out (!). We've already started the second run, but I don't expect we'll be shipping any orders placed now until the end of March. Sorry about that--we thought we'd over-planned on production, but the demand caught us off guard.

Congratulations Jason on selling out your first production run. That will hopefully encourage the production of a Schiit DAC too. I am being hopeful. Also, to help maintain the interest and excitement over the Lyr, will 6 Moons be provided with a final production unit to complete their review soon?

Thanks for the well-wishes!
Just to be clear, all current orders are covered, all the way through yesterday.
6moons' unit will go out shortly (as in, this week.)
And . . . we are working to make sure the production gap is as short as possible. Orders for pacing items have been in play for a while now, so it's just a matter of what ships last. We won't hurry things along just to get stuff out the door, but we're keeping on top of it. We're also about to go into a short backorder period on Asgard and Valhalla (1-2 weeks.)
If you're in the Bay Area, you can see all our stuff at the Burlingame meet. We're bringing a final production Lyr, Asgard, and Valhalla, coupled with Audeze LCD-IIs, Grado PS1000s, and Senn 650s or Beyer 990s, respectively. Sorry, no _ack at this show (it would give away too much about our plans), but you can enjoy the fine sound of some antique Theta product!
I expect you'll be hearing more from us on the _ack side soon.

No doubt Jason is referring to "_ack" as in Bill the cat or "_ack" as in Mars Attacks, because he certainly wouldn't be referring to a digital source (rhymes with _ack)...
