When I look at the rear panel of that X1100 I totally understand what Jason and Mike mean with buzzword compliancy.

1. Xvid
2. Dolby audio
3. DTS-HD
4. WiFi
5. Java
6. DVD
7. Bluetooth
8. Blu-ray disc
9. Blu-ray 3D
10. USB
11. HDMI
12. and more I don't recognize

It hardly fits the box

Total non-sequitur but I’ve been using Audirvana for almost one year now, completely oblivious as to the fact that it’s got an app that lets you use your phone as a remote. I’ve just found out because my father was looking to see if they had Audirvana for iOS as well. Better late than never, I guess. Gonna give it a spin when I’m back home.

To be fair, X1100 is a blu-ray player, and it would be a pretty poor one without most of those.

I would love it if the remote app would allow you to stream from your Mac to your phone.

Yes
Not only that, I reread the chapters of Schiit gear I don’t have as well.. I particularly like the one about Vali2

I also read about tubes. (Ok, I need help. )

I listen to the Lyr2 only to remind me how good the Vali2 is.

The Sony UBP-X800 4K Ultra Blu-ray player has a coax SPDIF out so can be used as a transport. It plays CD, DVD AUDIO, SACD and DSD files so the master’s advice holds =).

[edit] Personally I’m waiting for the Schiit transport.

Like almost every CD player has a digital out but are not transports.

Wouldn’t the sound quality still be as good as your phone’s DAC and output stage plus earbuds? Or is it a matter of storage space?

PlexAmp (and Plex of course) could be your friend.......

Yep. Here's a video describing Plex/Plexamp. Yes, I'm a fan boy.

It would still be convenient to listen to your Mac's library without having to put copies on the phone.

I expect that if you ask orders@schiit.com, they'd be fine with adding an additional tonearm or two to a Sol order, or selling a couple if you already own a Sol. I just don't think that we'll be adding a separate order page for the near future, so we can better manage production.

Well maybe take down the toilet paper or the socks?

My reading of Jason's comment was less that "We have too many products in production" but more managing how many they have to make and store. If it is one tone arm per Sol, you just make them at a ratio of 1:1. If you are allowing for people to buy a lot of extra tone arms, well... how many extra tone arms do you need to stock and have lying around? If inventory is starting to run low of both and you get a few orders for tone arms and a few orders for Sols that cannot all be fulfilled, which gets priority in the remaining stock?

I can see the simplicity of not having extra tone arms be a regular thing, but at least they are willing to offer it if you inquire about it.

Roon does that

Roon does that

Even if you aren’t connected to the same WiFi line as your computer? As that would effectively defeat the purpose.

What system accomplishes that? Either the music files are in the cloud, on your phone, or on a server that you are connected to. How can you possibly serve music files to a phone on a different network unless the files are in the cloud?

Rogue Amoeba have you covered (Mac only).

EDIT: On your own network only. PlexAmp (as linked above) for out and about.
