Gungnir for the nicer DAC, maybe?

I think the first DAC to be announced is the entry level, so Bifrost is probably the entry level DAC.

If they can do lyrics for Tyr and Korpiklanni too, even better.
 
Which reminds me, I need to queue "Stand Up and Fight" in foobar tonight and give it a listen.

Hopefully one day Schiit will have enough products to compose the lyrics to an entire Turisas song ;/

Schiit should make a 2,500 wpc amp and call it Gotterdammerung. Just the thing for playing Wagner on HE-6s...


I think you're gonna have to go class G on that one...

You want to listen to Wagner using a Schiit Gotterdammerung playing into a Hifiman HE6?  I think Wagner would be more of a Sennheiser HD800 or Beyer T1 sort of guy.

I think the HE-6s are less likely to explode in a shower of copper shrapnel if a fly lands on the volume dial...

Yeah but imagine the 3D imaging!

Maybe if you run half a dozen stepped attenuators in series or add a digital volume control...

Schiit names their products based of Norse mythological PLACES. Gungnir isn't a place.

In any case, I'm considering keeping my HE4 and getting another Lyr in the future, so I need a DAC to go with it.... >__<

i almost have mixed feelings about the DAC announcement - i have dreams of pairing a schiit DAC with a lyr, but at the same time i don't think my budget can take any other hits at this point...

The only thing that mixes my feelings, is the waiting time...

 Sure would like the super-duper-dac to go with my Lyr...
 
Well its X-mas before you know it, and then I just might buy myself a "Odin-Thor-whatever-top-notch-above-all-and-state-of-the-art" DAC as a personal pressant for my ears....

I believe their end of the year DAC will be called the Ragnarok... the doom of the gods. :D It's an event not a place, but COME ON Schiit. XD
