I was looking to step up from my Vali 2++ and was going to consider the Valhalla 3. So now it's either the Vali 3 which is getting a lot of love or the Lyr+. Like you I appreciate the heads up and I'm happy to spend my money on Schiit products.
I am the same way with literature, if I find an author I like I tend to read all of their works. In this case I tend to have a great deal of music in order by specific artists as well as those from the same time periods. Mostly 1960’s, and 1970’s rock,folk, blues, and jazz but the collection extends to 2010 and later with fewer items added lately. I added a large group of classical CD’s a couple years ago and kept all of my favorites. You kind of know about vinyl I have arriving starting today.Some of my collection is from the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s but there is much less of that. I nearly had 5,000 Jazz CD’s but the seller backed out of the sale and EBay would only stop him from listing again.
Most all are vinyl, tape, or lossless but I do have MP3’s I might use as background music for outdoor parties. Few are listening much then anyway and I stopped using more serious gear for that purpose.
... is this on the way ...?I like options and have them.

I felt the same way, until I bought a CD Transport.
Not so far but I am just now opening the box.... is this on the way ...?
At first glance the album covers are in amazing condition, all from my buddy @sam6550a! My wife is going to love this collection as well. Finnegan was disappointed, they arrived in a large SeaBear salmon box but he will get over it. 
I listen to CD’s when I can. I rip all my CD’s to both FLAC’s and to very high res MP3’s. I could A/B them to each other or to CD’s but I’m unmotivated. I listen to the CD’s in my music room and to the files in the car or hotel rooms or my kitchen. If others find CD’s more audibly appealing I am very open to that. I don’t have time to set up a good A/B test nor the emotional energy to perform it. I love taking a CD out of a case and inserting it into a physical drive. I love listening to every song in order. I love drinking a solitary glass of red wine and eating a single square of very dark chocolate during the listening. But I encourage all of you to A/B files versus CD’s, and I encourage Mike Moffat to rant about bits getting abused in optical cables, bad filters, or wherever bits might be mangled. Like Mike I try to listen to live music whenever possible. I guess this reply became either a manifesto or a love story. Sorry.
Enjoy, my friend!Not so far but I am just now opening the box.
Finnegan is enjoying Tapestry by Carole King, his kind of cat is on the dust cover.
Each to their own but for me there is great joy in having the artful album cover and record information at hand. Then there is the reverence with which you handle the record to insure its condition. These records were obviously handled with great care.
I enjoy hearing such things in the original format. The Emerson, Lake, and Palmer are definitely in better condition than my copies.
From this time period you have Larry Carlton, Wilton Felder, and Joe Sample as studio musicians.
Nice try! We all know this is to spread the chemtrails around!Definitely looks like sequencing to me.
Sometimes it's just some track adjustments such as the Southwest 1980 to delay the flight slightly and achieve the right separation for the arrival sequencing, or it might be something more is required such as holding patterns due a to a range of factors (weather most often, or different enroute winds meaning arrival slots are not exact and everyone wants the runway at the same time!)
Here's a nice view of weather related holds as a result a the storm cell that was over Melbourne airport on Dec 26th last year. There were more than this but FR24 only allow 6 at once to be displayed.
