Yawn...

Was thinking a high quality memory buffered transport with top loading and a selection of digital outputs, strong consideration for clocks, etc for an affordable price. Pretty much what they do in all other product categories. Those features don’t come from other manufacturers under $2-3k, and I’m betting Schiit can do it as well for MUCH cheaper. That’s where my excitement lies. As for Schiit fanboys, count me as one. I never expected this level of fidelity for such little financial outlay (I’m strictly in the two channel realm).

I'll be very surprised if they come up with anything that beats my $15 Denon DVD player off of craigslist. They might put some unique features into it, like their gadget or whatever, for true pitch adjustment, but that's not improving the CD transport, just combining products. If they do manage to come up with something unique to actual CD playback, I'm all ears, and will drool over every Jason post about it. I just don't expect it. What I do expect is more of the above, people proclaiming the righteousness of schiit as the only company trying to make cheap audio products. Like what even. They are truly great at what they do, but the fanboyism of this thread is off the charts. I do suppose they have earned a good deal of respect and admiration though.

"Like what even"?
'Fanboyism' on a sponsored thread about a product line from a company who makes good cheap audio gear...What a startling revelation... you are really astute. Oh, By the way, which charts are you citing, is this something Amir is measuring?
Yes, they have earned our respect and admiration-- not because of Jason's boyish charm, and amazing skill at writing, or Mike's choice of vocabulary--they earned the respect and admiration because they make the Music you own, sound better. Jason and Mike did it, while other poke and criticize. But, nobody else is doing it, so that says a great deal about the Industry, does it not?

My only desire for the CD Transport over that already specified is -- POWER SWITCH ON THE FRONT!!!

I have not bought anything made by Schiit but now I know about their connection with Sumo I might.

You basically just proved his point

For all people who think CD's are becoming obsolete...
The very large bulk of music sold on a carrier is still on CD.
Read the statistics. CD's are not dying or fading at all.

People who like vinyl can continue to use it. People who don't, wont. People like me who have been there done that won't go back are here too. None of it matters. Schiit is producing a turntable for those who wish to use vinyl. The rest of this dead-horse discussion can be deleted.

Where's the fun in that?!

Ah. Good.
Had a bad sleepless night about it.

... you are really astute.

Thank you, you and my mom both agree on that point.

The fun is not having to read through the same old bullschiit arguments and discussions that have been polluting audio forums for decades now.

We can learn a lot here too no?
I nowadays try inserting my fuses three ways before settling on the best sounding one.

I find that sideways sounds the best. But only if the fuses have been cryogenicly treated.

Ha...good luck with that!

Your replies often make me smile/laugh; I 'hear' the more gruff ones in a Clint Eastwood voice

Honestly...I love to hear about new products, meaningful audio topics, etc. but I really do enjoy the personalities/interactions even when the topic is hashed-over, mundane, cats, whatever!
