I think it's great that the Schiitr supports both HP and speaker listening, especially now that Schiit Audio has officially moved into the 2-channel realm. Smart planning.

They also cater to the people who can go flat out on 2-channel but are incarcerated into their headphones as soon as the missus comes home.

Exactly, speakers are my first love, but sometimes I need headphones for practicality. Having Schiit make high quality products on both ends makes an easy choice for people like me.

I saw on another forum Baldr write "Yup we're gonna do it" referring to the Turntable of which we already saw the prototype.
That too is good news.
Nice Avatar by the way Sir Richard.

Obrigado, minha amiga!

Spurious crap deleted to improve S/N ratio. Remember:

1. All mechanical and electronic things can break.
2. When they break, you contact us, and we fix them.

(Please note there are a LOT of paid shills, both pro-shills and con-shills, out there. Secondhand/thirdhand stuff should be approached with an attitude of "pics/measurements or it didn't happen," at least in my opinion.)

Now, let's move on to more productive conversation.

The "Skipping a generation" Link to the latest chapter in the first post is still broken.

Is there a driver update for the Gen 5 USB interface or it works just fine with the Gen 3 driver?

Same question. I do not see any driver download for the EITR so do you think that we can assume that it is USB 2.0 compliant and has been tested to work with the Windows 10 update?

Oh, and internal photos of Vidar and Eitr are up now.

Lifestyle photos to follow. I know how important those are to you guys...

The internal photos, stories of design and development, etc., etc. are the most important part to us audio and engineering nerds. That's why we're here!

The driver I had installed on my laptop for the Mimby seems to work just fine with my new Gen 5 Gumby.

Here: http://schiit.com/drivers It says "Gen 2/Gen 5 Drivers", so they are the same.

So I remember hearing Schiit was going to release 4 products. If true, vidar is one, Eitr is two, and stretching for a third is the usb gen 5 upgrade. Does that mean a fourth product is looming around the corner?

Dear Jason,

I was just looking at the circuit porn pictures of Vidar. The tape job on the transformer is wrinkled on the top. This just won't do. Could you please be sure that the boys smooth mine out before putting on the lid?

Thank you, DSNORD

Seems to be about an equal split between listeners. Some people come and sit and listen for a long time to the speaker side of things, some people just do headphones. There's not a huge amount of crossover, but I think that's mainly because the headphone-listeners skew younger, and may not yet have space for racks of electronics and speakers.

I say it is due to the younger folk being lizard hybrids and as we all know, lizards do not have prominent external ears and there for listen primarily via head phones. Toads of course, being amp-phbians, prefer listening via speakers.

'n' sheit.

I am in a mood, I know. Meters please. VU meters...

I have a sneaking suspicion based on something Jason said to me at RMAF. It also made an appearance from one of Jason's Vidar prototype photos, way in the background. Here's a hint: There's a headphone amp "hole" in the lineup. Someone mentioned it earlier, perhaps 4 pages back or so.

Never hap'nin', you know that. Buy separate ones if you want them, but Jason has said, no. Schiit does minimalist designs to put all the money in the audio path.

I wonder if Jason screams at the walls occasionally while looking at the posts in this thread?
