  I just dimmed an LED using a fine felt-tip marker pen. I have covered it maybe 80%, and can see if it is red or green which is what I need, but it no longer irritates. It is directly under one corner of my monitor.
 
It's a Faber-Castell Multimark, if anyone wants to know, but, essentially, one of those pens that writes on almost everything, including glass, plastic and metal.

​Interesting tip - thanks! I've used matte black nail polish in the past to cover some bright blinking LEDs on a monoprice HDMI switch. (Who comes up with the idea of a blinking LED to indicate the selected channel?) Of course, matte black won't work on Schiit stuff, but maybe there's matte silver nail polish available. (BTW, the lady at the local beauty supply store looked at me kind of funny when I told her that I was specifically looking for matte black nail polish, so I had to tell her what it was for. Nor sure if that the explanation helped.)

Please note, I have not tried removing it --- but my guess is that a little IPA on a cotton bud would do the trick. I'd rate it as less permanent than nail varnish!
 
Perhaps you should have invited your store lady to help with the application --- but she might have been disappointed with your equipment, and it is not nice when that happens

Is it too early to ask a little about the upcoming preamp? I'm thinking about getting a sub to go with my speakers, and the one I have on my mind has only a single LFE port (Elac Debut S10EQ). So my question is, will the preamp have a sub-out?

The only "IPA" that I'm familiar with is India Pale Ale which just happens to be my favourite fermented beverage.
 
I suspect that you're referring to something else, though.  The meaning of your IPA would be helpful.

I'll bet that @Thad-E-Ginathom is referring to isopropyl alcohol.

Some IPAs definitely have enough alcohol in them for a job.

Don't you just hate it when people trot out abbreviations as if everybody should know them?
 
Sorry.
 
And thanks, Torq: yes I was.

Hey Jason. Enjoying rereading Schiit Happened and loving every chapter, but have you ever though about also doing a photo blog/book if you have any photos from the old days? Just wondering.

^ Jason has posted pictures here and there, though not in a photo blog per se

You should probably make this suggestion direct to Schiit as well as posting here. They would be more likely to see it that way

When I read through this thread I didn't want to skip from chapter to chapter, as I noticed Jason gives allot of insights and responses randomly between chapters, along with some photos.

"What - no HD800? I'm outta here - seeya!" Hate it when that happens.

Very doubtful, LFE connections are more common in home theater set-ups, which is why your sub has one, although I am surprised that is the only input option. An LFE output would require a tap into the signal path and the presence of a a lo-pass circuit, and while Jason could build a nice one, I doubt he'll put it in the pre-amp. Two reasons: lower cost without the circuit, and it is not likely many folks would use that type of feature in this product.
 
Heck, I'm one of the people petitioning for a balance control, and I'm not sure it'll have one of those!

Many stereo receivers have sub out or pre-amp outs these days... they can be used for the sub, but has no cross-over or dsp built in

Regarding MQA there is an interesting and well-written article over at Benchmark Audio titled 'Is MQA DOA?': https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/163302855-is-mqa-doa
It seems that the good folks at Schiit aren't the only ones who are skeptical of MQA.
