    Clearing stuff out and came across some Schiit gear I thought I'd pass along to fellow SBAF'ers

    First up is the original Schiit Loki DSD-only DAC. Schiit released this model back in 2013 to "test the waters" back when most everyone thought DSD would be next "great thing".

    It's a suprisingly good-sounding DAC, but...it only plays DSD (DSD64, I presume) files. So, if you've got some DSD files around and your DAC doesn't support DSD (as Schiit DACs don't, IIRC), this bad boy is a great way to get your feet wet in DSD.

    First up are the original Schiit product shots and then a front panel shot of my unit. My unit is SN: LL110540

    The button on the front panel is a bypass switch so you can daisy-chain this DAC with your other USB DAC and just switch in or out the Loki.

    Front panel of my unit. AFAIK, I don't have the original manual anymore, but it's incredibly easy to use...simply plug a USB cable into it as it's USB-powered.

    There are some small little scratches in the paint on the top cover; these are minor cosmetic defects, but they don't show well in the photo.

    Here's the original blurb from Schiit on this DAC:

    Will come safely packaged inside a cardboard shipping box. Price: $75 + cost of shipping ground via FEDEX or UPS (your choice) to your destination. Will ship to CONUS only. My estimate is shipping will be approx $15-20. If interested, PM me with your zip and I'll reply with shipping cost for an exact price. Thanks for looking and cheers.

    Hi Ed,
    Just messaged you back. Please check your PMs. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you; I've been super busy last coupla 3 days getting my Honda VFR800 back on the road. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. ;)
