It looks like a combination between the Magni 2 and Magni 2U. You can see the pre-amp outs of the M2U, but it's missing the two small capacitors in front of the larger ones, which is from the M2.

Thing is, the metal front/top cover acts as a form of RFI shield too, which is proven to help against cases where phones are used near these audio devices; the RFI transmitted by phones will interfere with the SQ of amps if they are not shielded properly.
I could be wrong but I don't think it has anything to do with the global distribution network. I think it is more to do with their products being so popular at launch they can't keep up with demand so the rest of the world gets dealt with once their local market is mostly done for the on release buyers.
It can be frustrating but that is just how it is, a company will always deal with its biggest market first. A good example of this is the Focal launch which started in America despite the fact they are made in France and that was once again down to targeting the biggest market first.
Hope that helps and if anyone from Schiit can correct me feel free
I'm pretty sure there's a Magni 3 hiding behind the Vidar prototype. Can't believe noone has mentioned this yet.
Nice catch! Hopefully that won't make Jason & Co. paranoid about posting pictures of work in progress.

Been on the hunt for a black Valhalla 2 and/or Jotunheim for a while now and I'd lose my Schiit over a black Mjolnir 2 but it seems almost impossible to come by as someone located in the EU. Either way this is mostly theoretical and I understand if you don't want to go in-depth about it other than just "na not gonna happen" but it is something I'm very curious about.
I reckon it's a semi deliberate tease!
