If you think about it though, Head-Fi is all about overkill. Worthwhile overkill, but yeah - most people won't get it and so it seems funny to say, 'Dude, that's too much' when I'm listening to $700 headphones, a $250 amplifier, and a $600 DAC...and I ain't even lower-middle-class in Head-Fi economics.

Agreed, and fortunately in audio one person's/mfg's dollar isn't exactly equal to another's due to our ears/brains being so messed up, uh I mean so, well, unique. And then there's diminishing returns. Extra dollars spent buying gear doesn't necessarily reap commensurate rewards.

But disregard all that reality crap. It's more fun pining for the latest and greatest! I want an Yggy, too.

At the risk of dating myself, my first headphones were Pioneer SE-20s, purchased in the mid 60s.

My first set were just like these. Used them with a crystal radio in the 1950's.

Oh, my first evar headphones of note were Koss HV-X's back in the stone age.  I used MDR-V6s in the 90s and sprang for the then "top-of-the-line" HD-600s in circa 2000.  I still use them, but the HD-800s are my top end ones now.

My first headphones were white HD414s with yellow foam pads like in my Avatar. Upgraded to SR-44s a year later.

Hey Jason.
 
I know that the megacomboburrito filter is a proprietary Schiit design, and good Schiit it is too. But has there been any inquires from other companies to license the design. And do you think there will ever be a time that you would or would hell freeze over?

Wanted to share my Schiity cup with everyone. Wife has this Silhouette thing so she cut out the logo for me to stick to my Yeti Rambler. It's got a little crease on the corner, think I'll make it a bit smaller, should prevent that.
 
Now for the power T on the other side! Go Vols!

That is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Never did think of that. I now know what my next project is. Would like to see a bit of Schiit on my Kleen Kanteen.

Audioquest kinda busted by Mark Waldrip.
 
Read all about it on Stereophile and on Professor Mark Waldrip's posting.    Waldrip is Professor of Audio Engineering at one of the California Universities .

ps.  I was a Monster Cable Dealer and loved their interconnects, 
       I never was an Audioquest representative nor do I own any of their $1,000 USB cables.
        Today: the best cable I own are some Apple, PSYT and Monoprice cabling.

You make me look rich...with $2000 speakers, $2500 subwoofer, $2200 integrated amp, $2700 DAC...
 
I'm trying to stop upgrading right now. I will now repeat this to myself,
 
"I have no need for any further gear upgrades. I will enjoy the music and not browse any audio forums or news."

Holy schiit. That's very well done if I do say so myself !

Schiit Logo applications,
 
Anyone can go to a Scrapbooking Craft Store and have any logo cut out by a Cricut machine.

No No No. Everyone knows the power switch goes on the back...

Hell will freeze over.

I actually think Mike is essentially giving away his proprietary megacombo burrito filter that come in each Schiit multibit DAC. Mike could be making a sh@t load more money licensing the filter but that's not Mike.
