How i got here, About 10-12 years ago when all of my children were well on their way to college I starting exploring desktop hardware, etc.
I started with an HRT Streamer (replaced with a Pro a few years later), fed into a cheap switch box which then fed a Tweak City Gizmo Class D Amplifier and a Creek OBH-11 Headphone amp that was part of my 2 channel system since 2000. I had a similar setup at work.
I stumbled onto Schiit on May 7th of 2015 and purchased a Fulla. I used this on my man cave laptop and was impressed with the quality for the price. It is now in a drawer at work
I started exploring the Schiit forums after being impressed with the Fulla
5/22/2015 - purchased a Sys to replace the cheap RCA switch on my home setup
8/8/2016 - purchased a Vali which I rarely ever use.
12/7/2016 - Fulla 2. Used this at work, now it is used in the mancave laptop
7/29/2017 - returned home from vacation, my second HRT product (HRT - MUSIC STREAMER PRO) crapped out so I purchased a Bifrost MultiBit
9/7/2017 - Asgard 2 to replace the Creek OBH-11 at home. This was re purposed for work (at some point I had it modded here - http://bigskyaudiomt.com/Creek_OBH-11_Headphone_Amplifier.php ) and was recently gifted to a friend
10/06/2017 - Loki for home
10/18/2017 - Modi 2 and Magni 3 for work
10/26/2017 - Loki and Modi 2 Uber for work (so I could use my Fiio X7, my 3rd Fiio on that journey), Modi 2 gifted to a friend at work. I also purchased a floor wart
11/01/2017 - Wyrd for Work
03/27/2018 - Lyr 3 for home, gifted the Asgard to a friend
