Price is crap for UK customers as well, all works out at roughly $280 so you guys in the US get a great deal but were used to being stung in this country so it is what it is. Im surprised the government haven't taxed me on breathing oxygen yet but there's still time.
Fwiw, I've had one on loan for a couple weeks now, and even at $280 it's a steal. I've been describing it to friends as $400 solid state amp with a soundstage like a $1.5k+ tube amp. I'd take it over Jot 2, for example, any day of the week-- there's a magic effortlessness and expansiveness in the soundstage I haven't heard in any schiit amp (most other schiit amps lack depth to the stage) and the only amp I've heard that's achieved it in the past was the DNA starlett (starlett is still better, but piety gets maybe 80-90% there which is insanely impressive). I'd get it while you can...
EDIT: for clarity, full chain used for listening was bifrost 2/64 -> piety -> JAR800 (jupiter audio research modded HD800)
