Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

[Orange5o]

That toaster is so cheap! Typical toasters I see cost as much as 3 Yggys!

That looks like it would be terrible for toasting bread

Qobuz

Can't say Spotify as they still don't have flac or lossless.

Even if Spotify isn't yet lossless, anyone not including on a streamer would cut out a chunk of their potential market

That's not a complete limerick, just saying

I CAN recite limericks but most deserve to be censored.

I thought there were some over the top coffee folks, are all y'all out here with $200+ toasters??

Use one for a while. I dare ya…

Those are all of the good ones! I. E.,
There was a young fellow from Kent,
who had a-----you get it.

Yawn. If you want to go high-end, butter it and toast it in about 15 seconds:

Do you mean the capability to connect to and read from SMB shares on your local network, or the ability to host its own file system and provide SMB shares to other devices on your network?

A client to read from shares on the network. I would be happy with NFS, too, but that's probably too small a market to bother.

2024 Chapter 10
Schiitr 2: The Sequel

You get the picture. Go ahead and dream. Blue-sky it. Leave off sci-fi technology like Tardises and warp drives. Otherwise…what’s your ideal Schiitr 2?

I'd love to see (besides entry/lobby/checkout) 3 distinct areas:

1. Headphones of course
2. Speaker / Cinema
3. Finally, a smaller office like area for desktop audio / apartment living

Lastly, invest in decent audio/video production using a decent video switcher (Black Magic Design Atem ) along with multiple cameras, I see you have already started using DJI Mics

Why all this chatter about streamers again? Has Jason's position on them changed?

He has said dozens of times that he is not interested in producing a streamer because there are already plenty of options on the market and because he does not want to support a software-driven device. Similarly, he has said "nope" to DAPs (don't want the warranty issues of batteries) and "never again" to loudspeakers (been there, done that, know it's a "me too" product and a road to ruin unless you back it with very deep pockets.)

Perhaps his position has changed... but streamer talk is likely pointless speculation. A free espresso bar in the new Schittr, however, might have a better chance...

I made coffee today for the first time in an AeroPress. Good, better than I expected.

In other news my Salamander Archetype stand arrived this evening. Putting it in place will have to wait till I can get a friend to help. Lifting a Tyr is not something I can do myself. Nice looking walnut shelving I must say. Anyone else here using an Archetype?

 

[Paladin79]

Use one for a while. I dare ya…

What I use is more than $200 but it does more than just toast the bread, it allows the center to be bread-like and flavorful.

Yeah, and no mention of Nantucket...........

 

[LrrTx]

If you are going to serve coffee in the new Schiitr, it has to be on brand... I am thinking Kopi Luwak/ Civet coffee for obvious reasons !

Returning to the discussion of listening to lyrics vs. the human voice as an instrument...

I watched this very enjoyable program this past weekend. I didn't understand a word of the lyrics, but the music was transcendent. Highly recommended for Snarky Puppy fans.

Looks like it's available to stream from the PBS website through November 8. Apologies to friends outside the US if this is a US-only thing...

Newbie here

I've seen some discussion of a Valhalla 3 possibly coming out by the end of the year. Does anyone know if it will be modular with the option of a dac card?

Thanks
