I didn’t know much about this company and don’t own any of their equipment. And then I started watching these videos with him and just see this genuine guy with incredible knowledge and common sense - there’s no bullshit in him. Just ordered an amp and will give them a try.
Things to remember: 1. These guys have a solid pedigree. Muse and Theta digital. Both highly regarded high-end companies. 2. The book "Schiit happened" spells out how they created a niche that is able to make high end equipment in the USA (not China) and eliminate the costly overhead and boutique pricing. 3. Many Schiit audio products totally outperform expensive boutique components from just a few years ago. 4. Stereophile gave the Freya + "Class A" which is rare to unheard of for an affordable product.
This is the kind of company I fantasized about starting as a young guy getting into audio. I loved the Mondial/Acurus gear of the 90s that offered high end build quality and design for average prices, Schiit is the sweet spot, you won't get more for the money.
Thank you for continuing to be very innovative and always going for it. You guys make the hobby so much fun, and you’ve become a pillar of the industry. Thank you.
When sporting 2 glasses of wine, makes sense to conduct an interview from the SchiitR -for continuity’s sake. The wellspring of innovation from this guy asstounding.
Been asking on Reddit about the SYN and get few positive comments. I need a small form factor movie "surround" device. Would be cool to match my other Schiit. How do you use yours?? tia
@@shaymcquaid I use my SYN mostly for Gaming and Movies and sometimes music. I have it paired with a Burson Soloist 3XP Amp for Headphone use and also to some Monitor Speakers I use in a Music Recording setup. Don't have any sort of Floor Speaker setup... but I'd imagine the SYN would be great for a Speaker setup like that to get some nice Surround sound going. I'd say I use the SYN 90% of the time with the Burson Amp and headphones for gaming and it's excellent. The HP input on the SYN itself is ok too
I have a pretty expensive system. I needed a headphone amp for my other rig and got the Shiit Valhalla, not really knowing what to expect. I was very very pleased with the sound from that little amp. No complaints at all.
I am retired, can’t afford your electronics, but I always read SHIIT REVIEWS, THANKS FOR MAKING AMERICAN MADE ELECTRONICS, I CAN STILL REMEMBER MY ADCOM 555-ll & my carver m 1.0 t amp & Lazarus tube preamp, i always bought used Maggie’s & used the kit to fix the wires buzzing , last one was the 2.5 Happy new year Christian
I design and build my own stereo gear and wish I could just pick these guys brains. They seem to have the thought process more in line with a lot of the diy audio community compared to all the big name brands. I build a stereo with a watt or two more than their Rekkr amp and think it would be awesome to compare it with them.
The best presentation I have personally seen from Jason, and I like the fact that it's solo. Thoughts tend to veer off course when there's more than one person involved. This talk was confident and bright and revealing of your own personal thoughts on what you do on a daily basis, and precisely yet concisely what it means to you. Happily absent here were two things: ' Well, shucks we don't know everything. We just kind of do what we do and hope that we're doing the right thing within the context of what we know.' And my personal least favorite: 'You can buy from us, or not buy from us. We don't really care either way. There's plenty of other companies out there selling decent products that may suit your needs better.' Regardless of the intent or philosophy behind those kinds of statements, I don't think the majority of people really want to hear that.
I love the simplicity of the Urd. Im still learning the switch positions. I am still fighting the urge to not use USB! I love the sound of the Unison USB with my Yggy. Glad you love your job, your pace. By extension you love US! Cool.
So happy that you (Schiit) are happy and motivated about you future gear and that you wanna do it at the bankruptcy of the consumer lol... I'm saving my lunch money to get the Urd and Syn.... TY for all your hard work....😊
I have a Midgard, I like it. It's Schiit through and through, just clean power. I for one am glad you have more solid state in the line up. I would like the Midgard to be a balanced out circuit.
Just visited the shop yesterday for thr first time. Wish I could have stayed longer but it was pouring out and I had to get going. Anyways, thanks for all cool gear.
Any chance you’ll release a three channel amp to stack with Syn? I’m snagging a Syn in the new year, and would love a high power three channel amp to run L, C and R channels!
Such a terrific company. Really impressed with the Loki Mini+ they make. Analog tone controls done right!! Saved me from selling off a couple of headphones. Now that is good Schiit. 😂
I'd love a Saga with gain. Maybe balanced too (TRS to fit the small chassis?). And a Freya sized integrated just because i love the slim form factor. Ragnarok Mini?
So where do I get my affordable Made in USA streamer if not you guys? Also Speakers!!! Please Do a new company for speakers, or convince MISCO to make and offer their own Made in USA Speakers! 😂😊

I found them the same way and i now own 4 of their products! Amazing sound, great quality, great company!
Welcome to the club. You will become a Schiit lover in no time.
You are not going to be disappointed.
It won’t be long, you’ll have an entire Schiit stack!

Jason and Mike on UA-cam is all the “marketing” I need from Schiit. Merry Christmas and keep up the great work.

It's getting harder and harder to differentiate "needs" from "wants!"😃
Also, love buying great schiit designed and made in America. Thank you!
Thank you for continuing to be very innovative and always going for it. You guys make the hobby so much fun, and you’ve become a pillar of the industry. Thank you.
So excited for the new Schiit stuff. Can’t wait for my Skoll to arrive
I'm really looking forward to a multichannel amplifier to pair with the Syn. I hope it is on the near horizon...
YUP! Even if it’s only three channels.

Such a big year this was, keep with it Schiit, and I know you will. Aegir 2!
You guys are awesome.
Love my mani2 and my joutenheim2 and my lokius. That tube phono pre amp sounds very interesting.
Merry Christmas & happy holidays to everyone in the Schiit!
Congrats on a great year! Looking for more goodness in 2024!
Thankful for everything you do at Schiit! My stack grows by the month
Ain’t that the SCHIIT ! Happy holiday and all the best in the coming year Mike & company.
Great updates. Looking forward to next year!
The most Under the Radar, Best kept secret Schiit product is the SYN.
I appreciate Schiit always pushing the envelope and trying new things 🍻
Agreed, been enjoying the Syn gem thoroughly.

Excited to see what 2024 brings!
I have several Schiit Products and have been very happy with them
Looking to get Skoll
I cannot wait for the tube phono preamp guys. Thanks for lots to look forward to in 2024.
Wishlist: a mono button on it.
From Jason's description of the Aegir 2,, it should be perfect for more demanding speakers. I am looking forward to hearing it.
Great company. Great products. Great prices. No bull-Schiit
Huge fan of what you do and how you do it.

Good update. Thanks for quality affordable equipment.
Great Attitude and fun/innovative products... thanks

Exciting times ahead 😊 thank you for the update 👍
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to amazing new products
horn, rekkr, lyr, modius, magnius, syn, lokius, piety... I'm a fan of this company.
4+ years and zero problems with any of my schiit gear.
This company is fantastic.
So happy that you (Schiit) are happy and motivated about you future gear and that you wanna do it at the bankruptcy of the consumer lol... I'm saving my lunch money to get the Urd and Syn.... TY for all your hard work....😊
Wow what champs...your love for you fans / customers is amazing 😊
tgank you for what you do for us
Great Schiit and always looking out for your customers.
I slept through the meet. Found out about it last Sunday when I grabbed a Valhalla 2!
Can't wait to order a Mjolnir 3.
Awesome! Well done.
I have all Schiit gear in my headphone setup, except for the turntable: Mani 2, Eitr, Modi Multibit (pre-Unison), Loki (as needed), and Vali 2.
I have a Midgard, I like it. It's Schiit through and through, just clean power. I for one am glad you have more solid state in the line up. I would like the Midgard to be a balanced out circuit.
Love my Yggdrasil and my Ragnarok! Great company and great customer service.
Thanks for the year end wrap-up.
Good job guys keeping them making the mjolinor 3
I just have a little ol Vali 2 and Modi stack and love them both.
Love my schiit. DACs, tube headphone amp, and ... a Vidar 2 on the way. Sad I missed the live stream. Love my schiit.
Love your products
Love my Mani, Modius, Saga and Vidar. Doubt many in India have similar Schiit stack.
Just visited the shop yesterday for thr first time. Wish I could have stayed longer but it was pouring out and I had to get going. Anyways, thanks for all cool gear.
Just bought the schiit nitsch colab pietus maximus, so looking forward to trying it.
Gungnir 2 : I'll keep my fingers crossed. thanks!
sustainability? Are you taking trades on old Vidars and Aegirs in exchange for new ones (version 2s)?
I need more Schiit, please! Love my Asgard 3!! I need a great DAC for my 2 channel setup!
Yall my Schiit! Happy Holidays!
Any chance you’ll release a three channel amp to stack with Syn? I’m snagging a Syn in the new year, and would love a high power three channel amp to run L, C and R channels!
Such a terrific company. Really impressed with the Loki Mini+ they make. Analog tone controls done right!! Saved me from selling off a couple of headphones. Now that is good Schiit. 😂
Thinking about buying a Dac for my Wiim pro plus . Definitely will be American made
Separate preamp and amp(s) are required if you want an analog equalizer in the system.
get it on! Grabbed the Pietus Maximus, but have to wait 2 days for my birthday
Need the turntable - where's the TURNTABLE!!! DAMNIT!!! LOVE THAT TURNTABLE!!! DAMNIT!
Wish I caught this one more soon 😢
Schiit, I missed this year
Let's get a schiitr in Atx or CCTx!
My Schiit HeL 2 headphone is the truth & I love it 😱😱😱👍🏿
Unfortunately the stream was in the middle of the night for europeans. Looking forward to all the great gear from Schiit in the upcoming year(s)
I got a couple of Aegirs very recently. My Mac CS200 is in front, (and a Gold Note Streamer)
Seriously considering a Mjolnir 3 next month.
Looking forward to trying the skoll the new balanced phono
At about the 12 minute mark I said to myself. "I'm really dumb". I injured my neck from looking up as things were flying over my head.
Enter me please. I love your products. They are great for getting people into the hobby.
it would be cool if you had an 80 Hz pre-out on your pre-amps along with a sub out.
ARGGH!! I didn't know this was happening. :(
WIN ! ME! EVERYTHING!
When Steve Guttenberg and I, both have a Jotunheim [That Steve uses]. I know I'm in a good place. Best, D.
Are you familiar with the AudioControl Epicenter? Can you make a similar device for home use?
Love my new Skoll!
I'd love a Saga with gain. Maybe balanced too (TRS to fit the small chassis?).
And a Freya sized integrated just because i love the slim form factor. Ragnarok Mini?
On the tube phono preamp, I know you don’t like taking preorders, but damn it man, take my money!!
So where do I get my affordable Made in USA streamer if not you guys? Also Speakers!!! Please Do a new company for speakers, or convince MISCO to make and offer their own Made in USA Speakers! 😂😊
We're either going to need subtitles or Jason to turn his mic up.
Just starting the Video Hoping for news about Freya 2 with Nexus or Aegir 2.
Heck yeah 🎉
Could you make TURNTABLE with removable head shell
PUT THE BLOODY ON/OFF SWITCH (or at least a standby) ON THE FRONT FFS 😅
YES A TUBE PHONO PREAMP! SOLD!!!!
Need that tube phono preamp?
What kind of equipment racks are those?
is aegir 2 class A up to how many wpc class A and then how many class A like watts per channel then how many wpc 2 bridged?
Nice
Make me a winner, please
Tube phono preamp 💪🏻
is aegir 2 more powerful than aegir ?
🖖
Fyi your book is the best thing you ever produced.
