Schiit just came out with their new hardware EQ, the
Lokius at $300. I just ordered the silver.
I used to have the Loki but gave it to a friend, because it wasn’t balanced and my chain was being upgraded to balanced at the time. While I don’t ever EQ, maybe more out of laziness and streamlining my listening experiences or whatever, but it’ll be cool to add this hardware to my desktop rig for the heck of it.
I always liked the Loki’s EQ somehow more than what I was able to achieve in software. No idea why. Maybe the hardware based EQ is better somehow, or maybe the Schiit engineers just designed bands that pushed each part of the range just right.
In any case, I’m looking forward to playing around with it, and it’s nice that it has balanced ports to keep my whole chain balanced. The old, smaller Loki wasn’t balanced.
