Ordered Lyr+, will be replacing my Asgard 3 (which is too soft for my tastes). I'm hoping the pre-amp is transparent enough it can replace my Saga...probably not, but will see.

Missed out on the chance to call it the Vali doubleplusgood. Also, I used to use the WE 396a with my Vali 2+ through an adapter, sounded amazing!

@crenca will be very interested to hear your impressions of the Lyr as a preamp. I’m thinking of doing the same and getting rid of my Freya+ (trying to downsize my speaker rig for nearfield only).

MOSFET in, tube out...that's craaaaaazzzyyyyy! Hmm.... (just kidding.)

Saga changes?

Does Freya+ still get as warm with the list? Know you won't comment on sound so will have to wait for that one...

Congrats Jason! Read the chapter - it’s been a long, long time coming. I’m sure it feels really good to finally land it. Unfortunately for me, just when I’m getting rid of my dedicated 2-channel rig :’(

I was checking www.schiit.com on a daily basis for several months now. Finally!! :)

Thank you Jason and just ordered one. PS: black ;)

However, though, no panic necessary. It just means more stuff to redesign. Or, in Time Bandits parlance: "Dead? No excuse for laying off work!"

Aren't we all missing life BCE (before Covid era)

Time to produce a new run of tweaked/improved Mjolnir 1!

Loaner less is more Yggdrasil! :) <3

Upgrades all up now.

Same prices for installed by Schiit vs No installation?

Identical.

I wish the Freya S had the buffer mode. I don’t want tubes so a Freya S makes more sense. Buying a tube preamp for buffer mode feels a bit silly.

Thank you for bringing this back! I missed out on it the first time.

Yes and thank you for pointing it out. Ordered!

You son of a bitch @schiit, I like surprises. :)

Damnit, like I need more gear to hide from the spouse. Can you put mine in a Modi case so I can swap when she’s not looking?

Waiting for "Lokius" .. (and quite curious about how it would be named lol)

Loaner ! Por favor ?

Now even more tempting for the bedroom rig.

To be clear on the bribe: only those watching and commenting on the live stream are entered. That's the only way to enter. This will be a short, small sweeps.

Also to be super-clear, "one of everything we introduce in 2021" will include not one, but two, if two are required for stereo. We're not dicks.

2 of each if 2 are required, HUM, that strongly hints that mono blocks are coming in 2021. I just pray that they'll match the Aegir sound signature and detail retrieval qualities, while adding the capability of handling high current speakers.

Wait, you can't move, I haven't even gone to the Schittr yet.

After watching that and listening to the announcer and background music I now want to buy a pickup truck.

@schiit Just noticed there is a suburb of Corpus Christi called Agua Dulce... maybe you can convince Mike to move out there also. ;)

FAQs on point as per usual, but I cannot imagine anyone actually tossing "questions" like those around. Completely unrealistic.

Does @purr1n or @Hands or anyone else have one of these already? Pretty sure I’m going to grab one, but if a review is forthcoming, would like to understand the sound diffs with Vali 2 (love my V2, it’s a sweet amp).

Let me order one.

Ordered to stack on the Modius.

Have modius, bifrost 2, Asgard 3, still ordered Magnius lol. Comparison to A3 very much intrigues.. This makes me not curious about Erish anymore. @Vtory will you have a Erish/Magnius smack down for us ?

Looking forward to hearing Magnius! Also happened to notice typo in last sentence of press release - "...in *both? black finish only for $199."

Nice. T-shirts not office friendly. TP is a nice touch.

"B" stock?

@schiit Are you considering any other categories of Schwag? It would be amazing if you offered cloth masks with the Schiit logos and adjustable ear loops.

Congrats! Didn't even know this was coming :)

I just started gearing up for a comparisons of the 4 Schiit DACs that I have on hand. Right now listening to OG Bifrost vs Bifrost 2. The Modius is interesting and cheap enough that I have to have it. Unison USB input for a bargain price, very cool.

But, how will the Mobius sound with the Modius.

Good Luck. Your on-line services have been great during this health emergency.

Correct, masks required. LA County ordinance.

I assume the signage is ready?

“Please don’t kiss the Yggdrasil”

I also expect Tyler and Amy will be sending an email to the beta testers, letting them know about the mats and such. Please email [email protected] if you have questions on the beta program.

Hmm. Did the price of new Yggdrasil and Gungnir Multibit go up by $50 too? $2449 and $1299. Or did that happen a while ago?

Same as the beta cards, as far as I know. And yeah, price went up with Unison USB.

Added board photo and a FAQ section to delineate which platforms support Unison USB and which formats Unison USB supports.

time to rig up a cable to drive the HE6 with it...

Any word on when a package sans converter box will be available (and for how much)?

Thanks Jason. Enjoyed the chapter– interesting little beast there, intriguing re: possible speaker amp and ideas discovered along the way!
