What's a Locus?
"the place where something is situated or occurs"
The plural is "loci", so Ripper2860 should have said "Loci swarms"....

Schiit Balanced Multibit DAC HP Amp Pre
With a remote.
Would probably need to use a Freya size chassis or Yggdrasil size if needed based on the content below.
What if it had an on-board phono pre built-in and Loki Max?
Where might Gadget fit with all this?
I really like my RME ADI-2 but I wonder what Schiit could do with a feature set like this that would be the front end to drive a set of mono amps or fine 2-channel power amp.
No neutered DAC cards but integral with the board layout which allows for multiple digital inputs. Built-in phono section would support MM/MC. If Nexus is employed as with my beloved Freya S it would allow seamless SE and balanced integration.
The headphone amp section utilizing a scheme that would need to cover a wide swath of HP types.
By the way the Freya S on gain 4 setting into the mono Vidars into Magnepan LRSs is sublime...
Sure it would cost a pretty penny but one chassis with internal power supplies would have its efficiencies and no wall warts. Pie in the sky maybe… so scale it back a bit. But I like the sound of a “Schiit Balanced Multibit DAC HP Amp Pre w/remote”. On second thought, maybe the Ragnarok chassis minus the power amp would be a good platform...this might need the real-estate, volume, and the heat sinks might be helpful.
What are your thoughts?

A smaller version of a Locust
And I hate you. **
** Your insignificance makes you unworthy of my even using an exclamation point, I might add.

I don't even want to know what happens at @Ripper2860 's house. I'm guessing mostly weird stuff though.

And weren't there rumblings that the magnetic poles may flip?!?!

"What are your thoughts?"
Include a handful of tuubz and I'm all in.
EDIT: p.s. AND a black finish!

I haven't dealt with tubes since the 70's, but wouldn't mind exploring that. I've switched between black and silver a couple times...both favorites!

And let's not forget about the Apophis asteroid..! That only gives us until 2029, for all the Schiity goodness, between now and then..! After that...BOOM.

don't forget that most of the earth is a ball of white-hot molten metal (the stuff that volcanoes spew out, except it has cooled a bit by then)
… and now back to coffee, cats, false teeth (I must have missed that one)

Yah, and I was here in Seattle 40 years ago when this thing went off! About the same time I had my amazing Pioneer SA-9800 system after university.
...and I had to clean the ash off my (acquired from dad) Mazda RX-2 rotary engined coupe every couple of days for a while.

we just need the uber yggy that not only is True Multibit, but also has >140 db SINAD, and absolutely no pre or post ringing of transient response.They already have, it's called Yggdrasil...
They are on the Schiit site as well

Living together...?
Rina's "pets."
"Pets" because they are furniture for 5 months out of the year (hibernating.) On the other hand, we'll need to put them in our will.
From left to right: Lada, Gaz, Warwick, Volga, Trabant. Don't ask.

I detect a low quality, Soviet-bloc auto vibe in some of those names.

I asked Schiit About this and they are simply out of stock. They do not have an ETA for new stock.
