The good news is it may signal an upgrade in their older products, moving them into this enclosure along with maybe some other upgrades.  I'm hopefully for a Bimby with balanced outs.

  Part of the reason for the 'U' shape on a few of the first amps was that the case was used as a heatsink.  
 

 
What a clever design that was!

You  might as well hope for Fang to release a budget successor to the HE-6 because Mike can't do that. Won't fit on the board.

I bet you could fit a 4490 XLR Bifrost, though.

Th900mk2 or E-mu Teak with the Jot and Modi MB?

what sound signature are you looking for?

Sure you could but then just buy a jotundac. Comes with a free amp!

No, it would have more inputs than USB.

From what I heard at the meet over the weekend, the E-mu is a very respectable contender in its price bracket, and a pair of cans that I think most anyone would like, so long as having a ton of isolation isn't your highest priority in a pair of closed cans. While I've not heard the TH900mk2, I have heard the ZMF Eikon, and would STRONGLY recommend giving it a listen as well, if your budget allows for it. (I've heard from some who've heard both, that the higher impedance of the ZMFs helps in smoothing out the highs, relative to the TH900s, and that their preference consequently leans towards the former, but as ever, YMMV, and your best bet is to give them a listen yourself at a dealer or a meet).

This is one of those edge cases that I think very few people would genuinely need. Schiit would need an entirely new metal piece with room for an XLR port, and presumably XLR pre-outs on the back, and all so that you could get more digital inputs than the Jotunheim provides? If you're that picky about balanced out, and require that specificity in digital in, Schiit has a great product for you, called Gungnir. If you want to throw in multibit, hey guess what? For a few hundred more a gumby could be yours today!
 
If you think there's a lot of money to be made in the balanced-dac-under-$500-with-coax-and-optical-inputs market, I'm sure Mike would welcome your competition.

I don't know about that...the growth of AoIP would argue in favor of the other connectors.  It certainly does for me.

I ordered on the 6th and it arrived yesterday. 

 

[bosiemoncrieff]

the order times are very conservative, they don't want to disappoint anyone

 

[sovereign]

No disappointment here. Initial impressions: Wow!
