Coded my first program in high school on this...




Coded my first program in College on this...

Same here on both counts.
 
In my case, the high school teletype was connected to other high schools by one of the first networks.  I later read that Bill Gates was on one of the other ones in the network...

Hey, Jason, I've been a lurker in this thread for so long that I can't remember.
 
First, as an owner of Wyrd, Bifrost and Asgard 2, I want to thank all of you for your wonderful products. Besides how great they perform, I can't stress enough how fantastic they look. I'm a big fan of minimalist design and Schiit's ones for sure are a great example of that.
 
This last (I guess) 2015 chapter painted a big smile in my face and left me salivating for what we'll see in 2016, mainly due to:
 
Manhattan Project: I have no clue what are you cooking, but Mike's post about it for sure have left me intrigued as hell.
 
New 2-channel & new topology: I already decided to buy an Yggdrasil this 2016, but I also need an amp, so this new topology is great news for me. I really hope you consider offering a product that surpasses Ragnarok when it comes to output power, something like 100 W @ 8 Ohms / 200 W @ 4 Ohms would be perfect in order to connect it to almost any pair of speakers.
 
Best wishes for you and the rest of Schiit guys

Also please make it in black, kthx.

Did someone say Manhattan Project? Just saw this in the news.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Dec. 22 (UPI) -- For the first time 30 years, federal scientists have produced plutonium-238.

Just what the heck is Mike up to? Does it require 1.21 Gigawatts I wonder?

The 2-channel amp with its new topology is definitely interesting. However, is it Magnepan-worthy?

The Manhattan Project is something I forsee wanting, but I promised myself no purchases until next winter. Besides, we don't even know what it is!

Whatever the secret is seems to be not something too small, and since it isn't a confirmed amp, and not digital, it could be an attenuator preamp or something like that. It'd make sense with the speaker amps in mind. Who knows, I'm always happy to see something new from Schiit, both due to the FAQ and the backstory Jason gives.

Also, I'm not sure if the Modibit is in the works, attempted and given up, or will never be started, but I think it'd be super neat for a $300 multibit Modi. I'm not sure if it'd sell, since the 4492 Bifrost would likely be just as good, but with a different flavour, but I know I'd get a Modibit for school use or for downstairs.
Besides, think of how FUN double sided boards would be! You've got to have some masochism in ya Mike, I'm sure of it!

Keep up another cool year, dudes!

Could be like a Wyrd for analog signal. Instead of attenuating the signal from an amp to speakers, it maybe something which cleans, filters and re-balances the analog signal to the speakers with perfect impedance matching.
 
Does something like this already exist?

 

[Matias]

Most likely one of the new products will be a more powerful Ragnarok-like integrated amp to test new markets. I don't expect Schiit to release high-end pre-amp + mono-blocks right away.

for me if the MB is done right it will out perform SD so I believe Multibit Modi would out do 4492 Bifrost however would be a nice problem to have the solution would be simple upgrade the bifrost to MB or sell it and get a multibit modi

we wanna know more about the Manhattan Project!!!

It just blew up and left a huge hole in the SOCAL landscape that glows an eerie green at night.   

 
The mutating flora and fauna are expected to make their appearances depending on their gestation periods, but coming to the west coast sooner than later.

With an aluminum chassis damnit!

..... and the switch on the front.......

But they've said it operates purely in the digital realm, right? Would your suggestion fit that description?

That's right next door to me and bigro which is why I think he and I should get the first test units. You hear that Jason and Mike?
