Just got my notice that my Lokius has shipped!

@Rensek - I think you may be correct, but it would be nice to hear it straight from the creator.

@Jason Stoddard - What do you have to say about Saga SE to Lokius driving mono Aegir's or Vidars via Lokius XLRs?

 

[ImagesbyMurray]

I think Vidar and Aegir need a true balanced source/pre to drive them as mono blocks. I thought Lokius was CAB.

As long as EQ is "in". The bypass switch will disable Single Ended to Balanced. Check FAQ on product page..... https://www.schiit.com/products/lokius

I'm curious. Why would an equalizer need a remote? Maybe just to select process/bypass?

If they are being used properly to set up a system in a room or to compensate for shortcomings in the headphone, then they really don't as it's a set and forget thing. But some people like to tweak with every song to tailor to their preference or how they think the track should sound, which is fine, and if it is not part of a headphone system I can understand the desire.

Me, leave as much RF noise out of the EQ as you can, please. No remotes needed IMO.

A 6 kHz band - fantastic! Perfect for dialing down the sibilance on some headphones. Who knows - maybe if you turn it all the way down even the original HD 800 may become borderline listenable?

The Loki mini made the HD800s fantastic on the Valhalla, which was unlistenable stock. I'm salivating over what the Lokius can do with a few other changes in the chain...

Yes that seems correct considering the same is true for Freya and passive vs active mode.

So many people talking patience, funny, I had no idea this was coming and ordered a new Loki+ the day before the announcement. Couldn't cancel an order faster lol

The remotes use light not RF.

One thing I find a plus factor is that I think several of those hinge points will match up nicely with my SR1a. While I've been happy just using the 20Hz on the Loki+ I think a little very light touch of the 2 and 6 khz's could be interesting. Time will tell.

 

[HiGHFLYiN9]

In for one! I have the Loki already in a secondary system and have been happy with it, but the added control will be much appreciated.

Cool. Still don't want one.

Me too. Ordered yesterday morning (black finish) and got a notice this morning that it shipped. It’s shipping out of Corpus Christi, TX.

Thank you, sir.

I do not want one either, I am holding out for the even bigger remote, on the Loki Max.

Feast your eyes on the Binford XL 3000 Max remote...included with the new (sometime soon) Loki Max
