Cool. But mine is a universal remote. It handles all my gear and I can do everything from my chair...
...except turn my Schiit off because the @#$* power switch is on the back.
Anything like this solves that problem handily.

the new Lokius already sold out (now shipping in 2-4 wks)

Lokius may actually reduce sales of Freya - the only reason I was considering Freya was so I could have a preamp in front of dual mono Vidars. Now I can go with Saga and save the money (and it fits better case-size-wise with modius + saga + vidar)

OK. I'll consider it but only if Audioquest or Furutech make one? I need an audiophile-class remote controlled power strip.

This post was deleted. What did it say?Hi @Jason Stoddard - is this post on Reddit coming from a legitimate Schiit employee?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Schiit/comments/okbafa/fulla_4_and_hel_2_the_final_update/
If this information is correct, are you guys intending to put this information on your website rather than just on Reddit? I am just asking because anyone can pretend to be an employee and post random things on different forums. As a long time customer, I would prefer this kind of information to be posted on your website and then referenced on various platforms.

By the sound of it, something Jason told him to delete because it wasn’t entirely trueOnly the purest of signal chains for me.

A-ha!
Interesting aside re: Krell and blue LED's --> Dan bought up all CREE's reject blue LED's ($500 dollars a pop, used for measuring cancer patient tissue back in the day).
Really wanted to swing a Theta Progeny (had those blue LEDS) ended up with a Rega Planet!
After this post I finally watched the Jason and Mike Show. I had to chuckle when, near the end, there was the question about a delta-sigma DAC with a Super ComboBurrito filter. I really thought Mike was going to say it had the sound of one ass cheek clapping. I chuckled a bit harder when his actual answer was close to that.

Nexus takes care of that - see https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sch...bable-start-up.701900/page-3176#post-15016926So my thinking is if they use the Saga PreAmp it is single ended. To me if you feed single ended it's the single leg of a balanced. I am thinking that Lokius doesn't create the other leg. So feeding Lokius single ended in wouldn't give you balanced out like Freya S or Joutenheim 2.
I know nothing just thinking out loud.

pft, thats not lazy, that requires reach
get a Smart Plug and have it synced to your phone, one tap to shut it down

I would still need 2 remotes. If you can tell me how I can change inputs and volume with that phone app, COUNT ME IN!

I'm curious, why?Now the only question for me is ...
Do I stack under my BF2 or between my BF2 and Lyr 3?
Yea, I'm from the era of the 10 band GE, with corresponding LED strength columns. I believe I've had 4, purchased in the last 40 years. My last memory of my "physical EQ's; taking it apart to irrigate the sliders (linear pots) with CRC QD electronic cleaner (good stuff).
One may download an excellent app: Peace (https://sourceforge.net/p/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/wiki/Home/). Apparently only for Windows. I won't comment on the idiocy of using a "closed architecture" device, but it apparently appeals to the many idiots populating our country. (come on, I posted a smiley face, it's a joke)
Edit: I'm not sure that it's clear to readers that I belive CLOSED ARCHITECTURE DEVICES (apple) are bad. I hate Microsoft (almost) equally, but at least they're more open.
I can create any number of EQ settings, both parametric and static, and use adjustable filters. I'm from the school that believes one EQ's one's physical playback devices, with a single EQ setting. Aberrant songs, I've heard a few, can be adjusted easily though the software interface.
Lovely device (Schiit Loki Maximus). I'll pass.

Old school. I'm a tactile and looks oriented person. I work in the IT field and use computers enough over the course of my day. Give me physical KNOBS! The more the better!I'm curious, why?

I am arguing that at work right now - HMI screens break, touch screens aren't, etc in a mill. Give me buttons that work rather than a screen that doesn't. The E&A group doesn't see it that way sadly.Old school I'm a tactile and looks oriented person. I work in the IT field and use computers enough over the course of my day. Give me physical KNOBS!

Does Schiit no longer send instant order confirmation emails? I placed an order tonight and didn't receive an email, but every other order in the past generated such a message. Also, I didn't have to check any agreement boxes about ship dates, which were shown earlier in this thread.
