Latest from Jason Stoddard... Virtual Schiitr Meet: Texmageddon and Afterwards, Supply Chains, and Lokis Oh My! Hey all, It's that time again! Join us at 4PM PST on Wednesday, March 10 to hear me talking about Texas, backorders, supply chain, and the Lokis! It's been a heck of a ride, but we now have an official start-up day for Corpus Christi production, we have others joining us in town, and we are in the middle of making things better in backorder-land. We hope. We'll see. Enough caveats? Maybe. You'll be able to watch on our YouTube channel or on Facebook, whichever floats your boat: YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCZqCWt2_qqB-UD0-pcPpxCwFacebook: www.facebook.com/Schiit/Talk to you soon! All the best, Jason From the livecast, the production of smaller Schiit will be performed in Texas with the more complex Schiit in California. Hint of a Loki Max with additional bands; therefore, larger footprint is being toyed with with a possible summer or end of the year hints... but only if they can get their Schiit together. Transport heading to beta... more to come.

100% agreed... they have a wide selection of quality gear that fit into various budgets. I started with a modest headphone setup with a Schiit Vali and Modi and eventually upgraded to a Lyr 3 with MultiBit card. When I was looking for a 2 channel setup in a dedicated room, I naturally turned to them and the rest is history... zero regrets. Love my Modi Multibit, want to stick it in my main system and compare it to the DAC in my XMC-2 when time permits. Bitfrost 2 is still showing unavailable at the Amazon Store. Question, is the Schiit Modi 3+ D/A Converter a step up from the unboard DAC in the Bluesound Node 2i? I find the Node 2i's DAC rather harsh. Looks like the Modi won't allow 2.1 channels? If so I might have to wait for the Bitfrost to stock.

To my ears, the Modi Multibit was superior, in every way, over the Node 2i's DAC. You'll probably need a way to crossover the sub to get a true 2.1 way setup. I believe the Freya XLR and SE outputs are always on, so you could send one of those outputs to the sub and the other to the amp for the main speakers. Not 100% ideal, but better than using speaker outputs to the sub and then from the sub to the mains.

So, I pulled the trigger on a pair of Schiit Audio Aegirs, a Freya +, and Bifrost 2 Dac, to use with a pair of Klipsch Forte III's (that I have yet to unbox, since Covid took over our lives ). I fell for the raving reviews. Anybody with experience with these pieces, please chime in . <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button><button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button><button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button><button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button><button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> you MIGHT want to leave the IIIs BOXED and go listen to the IVs. Reviews are noting differences to the better. Even those dudes at Stereophile. Several differences between 'em makes it more than you may expect. Personally I was tempted to go hear the IIIs, but am GLAD I waited and now have a chance to hear the IVs..... I need to get UP to LaLa Land for a listen at a Heritage Dealer......The Distressed Oak with Lambs Wool grills just look Terrific.....I can hear a pair calling my name! Is your INTENT to Bridge the Schit Aegirs? I'd recommend against on principle. I've never heard anyone say the bridged version of any amp sounded better. And the power? Would seem to be doable...depnding on YOUR habits and room size. Split the output and biamp? THAT might be the solution?

I've purchased hundreds of things from Ebay, and only twice was something wrong with my order, that was not immediately addressed by the seller. In both cases I sent Ebay pictures of the damage and was fully reimbursed, before even having to ship the item back.

Teaman is correct - eBay is very heavily weighted in favor of the buyer. It's the sellers who get screwed by buyers who lie and take advantage of that.

Still and all? Hasn't everyone heard enough anecdotal horror stories to avoid that venue for certain types of goods? For example? I see al lot of OUNTERFEIT stuff (alleged) sold on Amazon. At some point? I'd rather spend a little more for The Real Thing.... Maybe somebody knows the 'best' tube reseller on the 'Bay? I'd be deathly afraid of factory 2nds or used NOS.....
