Crazy idea. MJ3 would do 2W/32O so 4W/16O and 8W/8O? More powerful than a Rekkr?

Super efficient (90+dB) speakers at 8Ohm and magic?

CanJam weekend this weekend.

Erm… I just bought an excuse to buy a Valhalla…

It was an absolute pleasure meeting Zach, Beviin and Team.

IMO The Schiit Valhalla 2 was a classic from the day it first hit the market. 👍

Ain't no black like silver.

Slightly more seriously, who wants to be surrounded by stuff that look like it belongs in Darth Vader's house?

DEATH.

Me, for one. I was an advocate for black finished products from day one with Schiit, and in the early days Jason said over his dead body because he liked silver. But times and circumstances change, and now black is the default, and that makes me very happy. :)

The best security would be to have the switch inside the component.
I'm hoping for a Face ID activated switch. Then if my wife tries to turn it on I can tell her she's not handsome enough. 🤣

No, its class A with current source, so more like 2W into 32 ohms, 1W into 16 ohms, 500mW into 8 ohms. At higher impedances (300 ohms and above), power does not increase proportionately to load resistance as the rail voltage / output swing limitation kicks in

Definitely agree. We probably just don't need two models. The real question is what the feature set of a replacement model would be like. Still thinking about that.
One SE in, one expansion slot for either DAC or phono card. Three SE outputs (1x for speaker amp and 2x for HP amps).

Package it with a Vali and a Magni and a Rekkr for a modular mini desktop HiFi setup

I think, maybe, have a page focusing on a half-rack centric system. Bifrost/Saga/Gjallarhorn or something. Lot of downsizing/apartment dwelling out there.

Could even be in one of those fancy European languages/fonts as their listening spaces are smaller than Texas size.

Lots of people want hi-fi that fits cleanly into an Ikea Kallax shelving unit. Darko even has a category for it: "Kallax-fi." Schiit's mid-sized gear fits the bill nicely.

Suitable speakers to fit are harder to come by.

Lots of people (me) want cheap high performance gear, and Saga fits the bill. I like having a simple hub for my system, to which I can add the dac or phono stage of my choice.

I get all my audio furniture custom made by @Paladin79 . Any color I want as long as it's brown.

Omg I used the good stuff there! Amazon single wall is more your style, that must have been meant for @Ripper2860.🤣🤣
