    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Whenever he finishes a piece, does he run around shouting, "It Lives! It...Livessss...!" ?

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Plug it in every night and that range should be plenty. My Mini only gets 18 and I only put gas in when I go to "the shore." (not really, but kind of...)

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    That's the most helpful clue we've ever gotten :-D. So, everyone right now is trying to figure out how to extract $ from Millenials/GenX/GenZ with headphones and cables and streaming. But all they really want is avocado toast and we know Jason has a thing for toasters! Et Voila! The Schiit...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I'm on my third EV/hybrid. And, yeah. The Mini, with its All4 drive, is a lot of fun (electrical rear drive, gas front) and takes off like a rocket. And it's the slow Mini! :-D Not quite a year old and a speeding ticket and a speeding camera letter already. I must (must!) learn how to...

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    Nah, G2 is going to be delta sigma, at least to start. I don't think even Schiit can capture the magic of the Gumby using DS. Now, it may be a great sounding DAC, don't get me wrong. It's just that the Yggy OG and the Gumby OG have a sound untainted by the mass proliferation of APx500s...

    The back story there is interesting, at least as told by Billboard: https://www.billboard.com/music/features/herb-alpert-whipped-cream-other-delights-story-behind-album-cover-50-years-later-7370623/

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    Are you sure this hobby is for you? My current DACs are all on the more analytical side of the fence and more technically advanced and yet the Gumby I had still has pride of place in my memories.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Nice! I say one of those roll up OLEDs (kidding, they're $$$) and in-wall LCR (passive) would do it. (ninja'd by adydula) Or, more sacrilegiously, an acoustically-transparent screen draped over the Apogees and a micro-projector...

    Well, we have the scotch-mod. Wonder how much the eye-candy-mod comes into it...

    They are very nice cars to drive for non-manual shifting. The one I had the shifter was on "the stick" not paddles. Can't get my head around paddles...

    An idle Schiit-related question occurs to me: Those that have heard both, does an Yggy synergize more with solid state or tubes?

    Have you seen the trash valet? Do they dress like that? Imagining the grand jetes down the hall :)

    If you really want to see some such critters watch the old movie Bugs (1975). Insects in the tropics are big enough to be domesticated and used as farm equipment.
