This isn't a comment on Mike's technical acumen.
It's about go to market strategy and what you want to spend engineering time on. There isn't a lot of room, or need, for innovation in RIAA basic equalization.
Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with making an homage to a classic RIAA circuit from the golden age of vinyl, such as the Marantz 7.
You're talking Chinese "market strategy".
Same problem with cinema these days, a rehash of the old with very little true innovation.
I don't know anyone who enjoyed Terminator 3 as much as the original. Let's not get started on The Force Awakens, OK?
As for RIAA circuits, or any circuit, there are innovations and implementations to be made that will differentiate the manufacturer from all others. That is where Schiit lives and breathes. They design and build what they want. Not in simply rehashing other company's designs from half a century ago.
