Whoa 5 more things by the end of this year???

My only guess for one is a Gumby DAC replacement.

My money is on Valhalla 3, Modi d/s iteration, 5 channel SYNCompanion amp, Rag with tubes, and - as you say - Gumby replacement.

Maybe its a soundstage shaper, Height, Width, Depth..... Or something else out of left field. He's hinted at a bunch of cool/crazy stuff.

Hey all,

A couple of dates to mark:

1. Thursday, August 17. Unless something really weird happens, you'll be seeing Mjolnir 3 and the Other Thing at that time. But something weird could happen. So there you go. Fingers crossed and all that.

2. Saturday September 9th. That's the Research Triangle, NC Fall Schiit Meetup. I'll be there in person if you want to see if I'll say something about upcoming Schiit gear (currently 5 or more launches planned by the end of the year, in addition to MJ3 and The Other Thing, none of which I talked about). Or if you want to ask me questions. Or whatever. Deets: September 9th, 11:00am to 3:30PM, 79°West Innovation Hub, 120 Mosaic Blvd #120, Pittsboro, NC 27312. More info: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/res...ham-chapel-hill-nc-fall-schiit-meetup.967927/

That's it for now!

All the best,
Jason

There are only 2 days for everyone here to take a guess what "The Other Thing" is. Get a move on everyone

 

[rfernand]

Oh Fun. My 3 guesses in no particular order:

• 5.1 channel amp
• Gungnir 2/64
• $1300 balanced phono preamp with MC, MM, and MI settings and crazy Fusion architecture

The thing is the first tube amp/kebab grill in the world.

No wait, Fólkvangr was already released...

 

[Plautus001]

My guesses:
1. 5 Channel Amp
2. Tube desktop amp
3. Tube phono pre-amp
,4. Tuner

4. Tuner

The Schiit Fiisk. Can you tune a Fiisk?

 

[zexk]

I have a feeling that there is a DDC in the pipeline which will be the successor to the Eitr.

My wallet has been warned: PEPPER YOUR ANGUS!

That would be a hit: make a grill out of a heatsink. All the heat will be absorbed by the meat. Ultimate class A amp?

Just buy an old car audio amp.

The quality of a mix is more important than the bit rates in terms of sound quality. At least in my experience.

Absolutely - Some 24 bit recordings are so spartan and soulless - goes back to a posting I made ages ago asking why some music works better on an emotional level on a AM/FM mono transistor radio than a well set up HI Fi system !!

I agree with you @Erratic Gravy.

As a child in the mid 60s, I was very fortunate to have a small transistor radio. ( My Grandparents owned a radio and TV shop).

It was a tiny device made by Pye. I think that it cost about £6 back in 1966 , so it was a fantastic present!

I listened to Radio Luxemburg and the Pirate Radio stations 'Radio Caroline' and 'Radio London'. This was before the BBC launched radio 1.

The sound quality was not great, but some of the music, which I heard for the first time back then, had a profound effect on me and was the start of my lifelong love of music.
