Hi Jason,
Could I have that toilet paper....... in black please?

I just noticed it says "no returns" hahahahahahahaha.

I'm not up for a "customer return" sample. I'm uneasy about B-stock as well...

I can't wait for the Toilet Paper Uber with an embossed Schiit logo.

Hi Jason, both the Bifrost and the Asgard are showing as Backordered, Ships 6-30. Any updates on this? I have been waiting for the Bifrost to come back to stock permanently while hoping to see the CDN dollar rebound.

Lyr 3 230V is also on backorder, and might be for a few weeks. Looks like I won’t get to enjoy it on my summer holiday.

I just ordered a Bifrost 2 on Sunday. Shipped on Tuesday and will be delivered today. Place your order!

Bifrost is officially back in stock!

Apparently, FedEx watches this thread, too. They delivered my Schiit at 9:30 this morning. If only I was locked down and not at the office so I could have torn the box open immediately like a kid on Christmas morning. Now let's not start another cultural war over Christmas Eve vs. Christmas morning, Crash Davis is fully in my family's corner here.

As is done in the IEM reviews here, let's have a couple of photos of the unboxing, shall we?


Alright, where are my darn cables. It's bad enough having to wait for your Schiit without having your Pyst go missing.



For those of you who couldn't read my somewhat blurry photo above (blame cheap Samsung phone cameras, my son's G9 has a much better camera), the larger box does, in fact, hold a Bifrost. I jumped on the B-stock train over the weekend. I like the packaging: strong and protective, but not so luxe to make you wonder if you're paying for a box or audio gear. Anyone bought a nice pair of IEMs lately? Packaging is getting crazy in that market.

Ah, all is right with the schiitty world, my Pyst were in the bottom of my Bifrost box. I guess somebody at Schiit used to work at Burger King, "we don't box it until you order it".



Oh, and since you can't tell from the outside, I ordered a Bifrost multi-bit and this one has Gen 5 USB. I think I know why this unit is B-stock: the vent holes in the top of the case aren't even drilled out. There's some kind of bull-schiit in the owner's manual about RFI shielding or something. I think that's marketing gibberish.

Now for some time to put everything together in the bedroom. And get all the cables hidden so my wife doesn't have a cow. Then time to listen, reconfigure, and listen some more.

I don't know if you're joking, but just in case, the vent holes on the Bifrost have always been aesthetic and not real.

Yup, joking.

 

[bboris77]

Yup, joking.

I much prefer the old Bifrost 1 case to the new one. Looks like a tank.

this pic looks pretty sharp to me, can even read your ship-to address

with most families, it's Christmas Eve. Christmas morning is when the parents have to clean up all the torn up wrappings and the bits of styrofoam from all the packaging

It said "2x PRCA" on the Bifrost's box...

who has time to read when it's time to open the boxes and post unboxing pics?
