Is Syn still a niche product? Absolutely. But 3 people at Schiit who literally had no interest in surround are now happily using Syn. That is an insane hit rate for our products. Like I said, most people who work for us are not super audiophile-y.

Now yeah, it's still not "easy" in that it requires powered speakers or amps, etc. That'll get better in the future when we have multichannel amps, because people like to buy things from the same manufacturer (even though it's not necessary, and a bit weird), and it'll get better when we get some "how to" videos to show how easy it is, etc. But you'll definitely still be part of the small minority of sound-loving people...we're just hoping to help you stay a bit more sane.

Schiit Multi-Channel amplifier?
I've read @Jason Stoddard mention a future multichannel amp on Head-Fi, as well as mentioning it in videos such as here...
...as a natural product to complement the Syn. Has there been any additional information given by Schiit as to the timeframe for such a product, and/or any other potential details about it?
Thanks!

Check out the livestream on Wednesday, September 27th. A couple of teasers were mentioned, but mostly related to vinyl.

You are most kind Alex, I still hope to make something for Graham when I can walk again. My left knee is nearly the size of Cowen’s bar-b-cue fascination.

Now that's a particularly unappealing visualization. I was going to have a BBQ sandwich for dinner tonight, but now, um, not. Think I'll go fry up some Spam instead.

I edited it now it makes more sense didnt see the autocorrect error and overall seemed confusing

Yeah, suks to get old.

Arthritis. It's a bugger. At least my tinitus was the result of me jetting along the St. Lawrence Seaway (near Kingston). F&&k.

I'll buy a can occasionally, fry it with hash brown potatoes and chopped onions, takes me back to when I was a kid.

The Lyr and Asgard 2 along with a Bifrost OG multibit were a stack I shared at the meet. Never intended to set up headphones in the bar. Turns out it is a great idea.
At the meet the Lyr ran a pair of 6H8C Reflektor - 1959/1960 tubes, they are back in the Lyr in my primary headphone kit. 6SN7GTB Sylvania - Chrome Top running in the bar; for now. With some headphones the Asgard has a similar sound signature and warms up quicker allowing a quick listen.

i also have A2, love it as well. I’m running GE JAN 5670s at the moment, enjoying the hell out of Lyr!

It all depends on the barrel ...

Their Bottled in Bond ain’t half bad, either!

We can talk scrapple if you’d like. My grandfather lived in West Manyunck (pardon my probable misspelling) as a kid. Anything but Spam…

I hope-not for multi-chan amps. Seems kinda cliche at this point. They are friends with Emotiva... if Schiit were to do something, it'd possibly be an old school all-in-one integrated? Everything is modular.
