In other news FedEx sucks for not updating their tracking information. So help me God if my headphones aren't here tomorrow I'm not responsible for my actions.

  That's fine.  In your case you have a match of great components which apparently the tool agrees with.  In the single example I tried (the good matching of the Valhalla 2 and the HE400i that Wildcatsare1 mentions above), the tool tells me it won't work.  But it does.  I'm listening to that combo daily now, & it sounds great (from either of the low or high impedance settings, actually).  The 400i sounds better that way than other amps I have tried with it.  Schitt itself notes that the combo works, too.
So, the tool is batting zero, for me and my sample size of one.

I guess it's not the sharpest tool in the shed. So if one wants to be sure, it's up to doing legwork, the old fashioned way.

I was thinking about it, I just want my headphones.

I know the feeling. I got my HD600's over the counter, no stink'in FedEx. They were on sale at J&R in NYC when they were still open and I worked across the street.

That's awesome, I absolutely can't wait until I hear them tomorrow.

On the other hand, my HE-500's were from Amazon and came by way of an anxious 2 day prime delivery. You can get SMS Text messages from FedEx and wait impatiently like I did. Then there were DACs, Amps, IEMs.........

I wish I would have ordered from Amazon but since they started charging tax I decided to go with Woo Audio and save myself some $  but yes I have a feeling this is going to be a love/hate relationship when it comes to waiting for stuff to be delivered.

Yeah, waiting sucks.  I got an original Lyr off the forums a few weeks ago.  Got a great deal from a great seller, but I went out of town the day before it was delivered.  I had to wait days knowing it was sitting waiting for me back home.  It was all worth it though...listening now...

Yes I have no doubt I'll be in audiophile bliss tomorrow afternoon and then for the rest of my life.

You're gonna go mad waiting for your Schiit. Since we're talk'in Schiit, watcha ordering next?

It's only going to be a little bit longer and I've been staring at my Valhalla 2 and Bifrost since Friday evening so waiting a few more hours won't hurt......too much.
 
I've not really decided yet, but it's probably going to be the Beyerdynamic DT990 600ohm and hopefully that will do me until I can save up for the LCD2, cables and a bigger amp.

Guys,
 
you need to live in a far off place like India to truly appreciate the virtue of waiting. With DHL and Fedex no issues. Its 4-6 days. With USPS, can be unto a month. So let me know if you like switching places with me. 

 

[ejwiles]

What an evil question...

  I know I'm not the worst, but in the last eight months, I've bought the Vali, HD650, Lyr, and a bunch of tubes...Bifrost (or another DAC) is next, then maybe Crack, then...

 

[sandab]

  Well it's not that big of a deal to me since I already know I want the LCD-2 with the Mjolnir. There's not that many more headphones on there that I want besides maybe a few Beyerdynamic ones so it's all good in the proverbial hood.

Well, I want the LCD-3F.  With Mjolnir or something else suitable.  But I don't want to have to buy both at the same time.
