Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

How does the Ragnarok 1 fare these days? There’s one for sale locally at a tempting price. I could see myself swapping my Marantz and Jot 2 for it.
IMHO, still ranks as a wonderful amp. I use mine primarily for speakers.

Can confirm! A friend of mine has serial number 8 (I think) of Rag 1 and it sounds great. I have Rag 2 and I think it sounds a few years better :p

@Jason Stoddard: Label mismatch on page 4 of the Lokius manual - image has 1 and 2 as output, 3 and 4 as input - text contradicts image.
Surprised I missed that, but I'm so use to Schiit layouts with all the Schiit I have I didn't bother to look at the diagram Good catch!

Gee, I was on holiday for 2 weeks and now not only do I have a backlog at work, I also have a 40-page one on this thread alone...


...I expected much more from you people! :ksc75smile:

I have a Ragnarok 1, I use it as a preamp to my desktop speaker system. It runs my powered Focal monitors and a pair of subwoofers.

I also use the balanced output for headphones, I absolutely love it as a headphone amplifier, and I couldn't get a better preamp.
I have used it as a speaker amp for my LS50s it's a great amplifier.
It sits on a big giant desk right in front of me so lack of remote doesn't matter to me.

Here's a plan to catch you up: Read Jason Stoddard's posts and ignore everything else. :)

Haven't seen the exact answer to this, so hoping someone with a Lokius can answer, can I use the Lokius like a Sys? Meaning, can I run XLR from a Bifrost 2, and RCA from my phono pre amp, using the switch to go back and forth between the inputs? If so, do I need to run both outputs out via those same formats, or can I just run one output interconnect to my integrated amp? Thanks!

yes

no, just one is needed use XLR if possible and if there are no XLR inputs on the integrated, use SE (RCA)

Virtual SchiitrMeet August
Touring Valencia

Hey guys,

For the virtual Schiitrmeet this month, I'll give you a tour of our Valencia location. You've been asking me about this since I did the walkthrough of Corpus Christi, so here it is! To keep things safe, we'll be doing it after pretty much everyone has gone home, so this I'm afraid you won't be able to meet many of the team. Sorry about that!

In addition, you'll get both Mike and I for questions after the tour.

Now, I got to get back to hiding some of the prototypes!

Virtual SchiitrMeet August
Thursday, August 26, 4PM PST (6PM CT)

Questions? Send them to denise@schiit.com

Please join us on Facebook or YouTube:

All the best,
Jason

Hopefully the stream quality will be better than the Corpus Christi tour because the stream on that Schittrmeet was not ideal.
