Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

[bosiemoncrieff]

Hasn't Jason declared a tube rag to be in nevergonnahappenland.com?

But I don't like Moby's music. Or his politics.

Whatevs.

FYI, he was the first musician on the Internet .... back in the dial-up, put your phone into the modem days of the early 90's.
 
The second musician on the Internet was Billy Idol... that only lasted a short while.  One day he posted a message saying (paraphrase) " I woke up today with 400 messages in my inbox, and I couldn't read them all even if I spend all my time doing it, so I'm gonig to have to say bye bye. "
 
Another early Internet adopter was Roger Ebert (RIP).  A great guy.
 
BTW, given how much less the Moby is than the Bimby, I am surprised that you did not price it at $299, since they both cosmetically look like the same price (just in a marketing sense).  Is there that much competition in the " sub-$500 multibit " space ??

David Bowie was also one of the early internet adopters. Anyone remember BowieNet?

Yeah, I always thought 2-channel was a sorta a weird term. After all, headphones are 2 channel as well. Then I thought it should be called 'speaker system', only after which I realized headphones are actually speakers too. 

This is what was confusing me as well.
So if schiit launches some 2 channel gear im guessing its either a tube-something or a sort of unbalanced more budget friendly raggy. Guess il buy the raggy in august/september then =D

Think fully balanced Preamp(s) and Power Amp(s). I would not be surprised if there was a combo at or under USD2000.

I am not sure where 2 Channel came from. I never heard it until Home theater came into play with 5 and 7 channel setups. Yes HP's are 2 Channel but Why do we call Cars , Cars? There are also Railway Cars that predate the Modern Automobile.
 
Any way Back on Track, There are some of us who use Schiit gear in our stereo/2 channel rigs. I use a Valhalla for My Tube Preamp and a Bimby for My DAC. I also use a SYS to Switch Between My Mani and Bimby because there are suprisingly few Preamps out there that just do switching and Pass a Signal in a simple chain.A Nice Plain Power amp for speakers and a more capable version of the SYS are some of the things some people have been asking/ waiting for. In my eyes at least it is a natural and welcome progression for Schiit as they continue to break down barriers  in the audio world
 
If I Remember Correctly in a previous Chapter Jason Said the Yggy and Raggy will not be replaced as the Flag Ship Products so I would not be too concerned.

Todd Rundgren also.

You guys certainly do bring it.

Just to confirm, that picture of me visiting Schiit Audio did indeed have a Modi Multibit in it. We thought it'd be cool to see how long it took you all to guess, and I guess the answer was "a single post". You guys are incredible!

I did have a quick listen to the board in the picture, but it was new new and hadn't been tested and barely even listened to, which was audible in the somewhat excited presentation of the music. It did sound better than the regular Modi 2 though.

I wish I'd taken pictures of the board. It is as dense on the bottom as on the top, and 4-layer IIRC.

If a picture is worth a thousand words - then why do pictures need captions....   ?????   

 
 

 
For the engineers.

Then I guess the DSP IC is on the bottom...

Haha yea, that didn't take very long! Happy to hear it sounds better than the regular Modi, hopefully the productions units are a bit less "excited" as you put it haha, I definitely want one for my work space and want a calmer sound to it, one can dream. 

 

[mdkaler]

Dudes. It's MoBY.

Yep you got it! And sorry I have to get it of me lol.
Kinda wondered why people kept coming up with other names but Moby. Yeah dudes, duh!

 

[madwolfa]

On the bottom?

 
Most likely!

So the Elvis sighting was planned. Clever and very Entertaining.
 
With the Honey I Shrunk the Bimby lessons Learned From the Unofficial Name of Moby, I am now Curious if the Bimby may see a Discrete Board in the Future.
