    Oh schiit, this should definitely be a thing. Especially if its at a good price, and one I can afford.

    Just when I thought I was out....you pull me back in! This deck and it's features at the price point your guys are shooting for looks insanely disruptive to the middle priced market. I'm very excited to see where this goes. You guys continue to amaze.

    Yikes!!? A TT from Schiit....that would mess with the vinyl and over-priced TT makers for sure! The Yggdrasil + Roon has rendered that religion dead to me but happy for all the Licorice Pizza lovers out there!!

    @baldr - No coax SPDIF Pyst cables for the Eitr?


    Just say'n.

    Or coax to BNC.

    I ordered a Monoprice female RCA to male BNC adapter after I ordered the Eitr this morning. I use my Gungnir Multibit's coax input with my CD player, so I'll use the adapter for the Eitr to feed the BNC input on the Gungnir Multibit.

    Benchmark makes a RCA to BNC cable but only comes in 1.5 or 3 foot lengths, and I need at least 6'.

    I didn't want to wait in queue for the Gen 5 USB to be installed. I will order one when the fellas at Schiit catch up with production and offer a self install option.

    Fwiw, I ordered the USB upgrade this afternoon and got the notification to send in my Gungnir Multibit immediately.

    Dumb question, why would you need it?

    Edit: I truly meant it about my question being dumb. I just read through the Eitr preview thread, I understand the excitement now. I assumed most of SBAF folks are off of USB.

    My Gungnir Multibit has the 2nd gen USB board. Immediate upgrade is the only reliable cure for USB Nervosa. Ask your doctor if it's right for you.

    Ordered the Eitr, though I already have an Intona to break a ground loop and have been very happy with Yggdrasil over USB or TOSLINK. Not expecting miracles, but hey for < $200 shipped, worth trying.

    I've purchased every drug that advertises this side effect. Sadly, no joy.....

    Since Schiit seems to be going from obsolete to prehistoric these days, I thought Mike and Jason could use some design ideas, like this:

    And if that doesn't work out, I'm always game for a brand old Schiit Iron:

    If I'm reading this right, Mike has another impending release coming:
    This might be the 3rd act in the triple-flusher that Jason mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

    JoMB would be cool, but Jil and Hjuki hang around Mani in Norse verse. Should be interesting.

    Yeah, probably another product for vinyl judging by the name.

    I'm betting it's the ADC for needledrops he hinted at last year. But I guess it could be another phono stage.
