LiveStream From The SchiitR - New Products With Jason

[@AcousticMatt]

I'm utterly fascinated every time I hear Jason talk about this kind of stuff. Please keep doing these videos!

[@CesarAnton]

Kudos to the Schiit team for the amazing products

[@manleylabs]

Thank you so much for the kind comments about our Manley transformers and thank you for recognizing our expertise. 🥰 I love my MODI 3 DAC. 🥰

[@OblivionIce]

I've watched a few of these videos now and I love this guy. No nonsense. Loved the explanation of the construction. Understands how to keep costs down and efficiency up.

[@cosmiccharlie8294]

Business blessings to the Schiit family!

[@pnichols6500]

The Fredericksburg area is quite nice, a little similar to some areas of California. Close enough to Austin, but away from the craziness!

[@smithmann5616]

Yeah that's good and all for you guys, but California, Texas, whatever, the real question is when are you going to start selling in CANADA (so I can stop paying crazy shipping and even worse custom and duties charges)? But good for you guys - very happy for your success and for your products! Speaking of Canada, so happy that AMANDA MARSHALL is back! Give her a listen (live).

[@sy0635]

Isnt canada exempt from duties w things made from the states?

[@mnyshrpknvs]

200 watt per channel stereo Amp would be awesome.

[@danielgallant45]

Welcome to Texas! We welcome you!

[@davea3791]

Good for you and your team.

[@jaredpmoser]

I love this Schiit

[@tomb375]

Will you are the man! Thank you for the awesome coffee and the tour. Tom from N.Y.

[@tonykara]

This guy talks a lot of Schiit!! He’s a real Schiit-head!! Love it!!

[@shawnpwatsons1]

Just got my Vali 3. Wow. Thank you. It's absolutely brilliant. I think I might like it better than my Jotenheim2 and previous Asgard3. You might be needing to catch the rest of your product line up--UP!

[@adsph]

Any news on a 5 channel amp to go with the Syn ?

[@michaelgreene5703]

does Aegir 2 do first 10 watts in class A then remaining power in continuity?

[@jeremylynnchagaspereira3926]

I thought it was an imposter till Jason bent down and picked up the glass of wine (which was, till then, not visible)

[@toai2]

Do you post job opening on Indeed? I'm interested in what tech positions you may have. Thanks

[@chrisbianchi8876]

Will the new Valhalla 3 have an option for a dac card?

[@greencraig8570]

I bought my first Schiit product a couple of years ago. Now I know why the reviewers (Guttenberg, Darko et al) go so crazy about Schiit. Great product, well built, and very reasonably priced.

[@brentcollins9727]

Hello from Houston!!

[@drdiesel1]

Missed the live, but would love to see a combo DAC/headphone amp, mid to upper range.

[@DavidSchroeter]

5 channel amp for the Syn?

[@DavidHamby-ORF-48]

I’m curious about Gumby offspring mentioned Wednesday. I’m a huge fan of the original. Gumby transient rendering is in the hall right for jazz drumming.

[@chronometa]

Curious as well. I think the biggest issue has been. How do you make it make sense.

[@coraliecyrst-pierre8023]

I want a Valhalla 3 output transformerless (OTL) and output capacitorless (OCL)!

[@DavidHamby-ORF-48]

Suggest that when you shift the Ask me anything’s to TX, you do them from a listening room that has been treated for reverb time. Schittr lounge was a bit muddy last night. Just need a tidy corner unless a mad scientist vibe is desired!

[@tablameister]

Welcome to Texas! There are a lot of Californians in Austin because of Intel, AMD, etc.

[@LordWaterBottle]

I would be very interested in a top loading (not motorized tray) CD transport in the 9"x6" size chassis, either height, though the 2" is probably easier. It doesn't need USB Hub functionality, and only needs SPDIF outputs. You could probably get away with just coaxial in the slim 1.5" chassis. I do think that 5 buttons and a simple display like on Urd would fit along the front, though a different display dimension may be needed. In this size I do not believe a remote is required, as I see it as mostly going with Modius or Bifrost based desktop systems.

[@look8234]

Do you think about new otl product after Schiit Valhalla 2?

[@DBravo29er]

TEXAS ROCKS!!! 🤌😎

[@CrackaSlapYa]

I'm in!

[@noturnleftunstoned72]

Schiit bookshelf speakers?

[@chronometa]

Im interested in that gumby 2/mj3 stack

[@michelrainville1094]

Is there a way to understand which components to get to make a hi-fi system with their products ?! Not easy at first hand

[@StrangeBrewReviews]

Need a small 5 channel classD power amp that matches the SYN in price and form factor. texas Chips.

Sorrell Booke was a New Yorker so the “Boss Hog” accent was fake. His Military Service in Intelligence and gifts for linguistics were not. He spoke 12 Languages.

Are you familiar with the AudioControl Epicenter? Can you make something similar for home use?

I saw the thumbnail for this and thought, " That guy's in an electric chair!"

can you explain more on the Gumby that is coming out

[@jlopez54]

$59 for the magni convince me to finally try it. the price helped justify the international shipping and import fee hahaha 😅

I second Bruce: Bruce Weldum ​​how about an analog stereo subwoofer x-over box with both a LP and HP filters and XLR?

[@dannyjalife5973]

Good for you Jason. Oh, gotta learn how to say "Yall"

[@evldice]

California has so much to offer, such as weather, beautiful landscape, ocean, but financially it makes no sense for any business to stay there. Hope all works out well with the move and adjustment to freedom and liberty. Schitt Audio is amazing, I look forward to acquiring more pieces for my systems.

[@jonathandavis9507]

It’s unfortunate as it really is a great place to live.

[@erictheblue7256]

Disappointing about no plan for a super Syn multi-channel preamp, but a add-on multi-channel surround extractor Jason mentioned to the Freya+ would do the trick.

[@ItsElvis56]

I am going to call it here: The Saga 2 is a cut down version of the Kara. One XLR and one RCA output; 4 inputs and one being XLR. Maybe a headphone out, but maybe. $300 for the black version.

[@alrightnow1124]

Wonder if you’re gonna produce a turntable again?

[@ptg01]

I highly doubt it. It was a very challenging experience.... Mechanical stuff is very different.

[@zounds13]

I'd love to see Schiit offer an upgraded aluminum remote for the Syn. I'd sure buy one. The Syn is great, but let's face it, the existing remote is pretty craptacular.

[@wojciechczupta9185]

guys, pls get the mics gain more balanced. Jason is hardly auditable, while interviewer is too loud. thanks

[@joewhip9303]

Happy wife, happy life.

[@BicycleJoeTomasello]

Any plans for going public? When are you going to update your wiki page?

[@anjolielanel990]

It was great meeting everyone there last night, but I am sad to see the Schiitr leave Newhall 😢. I understand the reasons though. Best of luck in TX. I suppose the next video will have Jason wearing his big TX hat and using a spittoon. Oh, before I forget, thanks for turning me onto the wine from Fredericksburg, IV LB. I think my sister will love it!

[@stanmyers5994]

I have schitt equipment, but, I said this over and over, customer service sucks!

[@cletusfordwicke7608]

I bought two Tyrs, the don’t work, and I can’t get help.

[@ScottoGrotto]

Will be sad to have Schiit phase out of California! You might get tired of unending flatness? Must visit the Schiitr before it’s too late!! You helped make California a little kooler ! The power grid in TX is purportedly state of the art. Might want to have a power back up plan. Austin is quite nice.

[@Shorby99EK]

Glad to see you moving to Texas!

[@jeffsloane8628]

You and the fam come on Jason. If you need anything in Dallas give me a ring. Thanks for the news and transparency. Will be making a trip to the Texas SchiitR when it opens.

[@betaomega04]

Why am I not surprised that another California-based business is moving to Texas?

[@user-rc3kh4pv9u]

Welcome to Texas.

[@DavidHamby-ORF-48]

Jason’s comment that tube amp sound results from the combination of an output tube and transformer. Only a few folk are left that know that art. Jason would be starting from scratch. With hard work and luck he could make a decent amp eventually. That effort might better go into s Son of Tyr, a linear power supply class AB amp now an endangered species.

[@cravenmoore7778]

Enjoy Texas. Leave your politics behind or you will be moving again 😂

[@marcopignone9386]

Agree on Class D, BUT... it's magic with electrostats and Maggies and a far better value than any A/B or tube amp with the power to drive them.

[@vizion68]

We want a multibit streamer yessiree bob with MFi Airplay

[@theonlyegg]

Jason sounds like Matthew McConaughey and he's NOT from Texas??

[@ptg01]

Huge deal to shut down California... I assume it's the business climate of California that has become a bit unbearable.

[@s.daniel9224]

AKM chips?

[@TheHope12322]

First! Do you have job openings? I have ideas for products. Open a place in Arizona too while you’re at it! I would like to see swappable op-amps in some dacs and amps.

[@Audiorevue]

You know I got an idea, why don't they open a factory in every state? Hell they could even go further and open one in every country around the world. I mean the logistics would be a son of a bitch to figure out. But Jason's a smart man he can do it. Plus with having a factory and warehouse in every conceivable location on the planet Earth they'll be able to get my modi to me quicker.

welcome to TX

[@ScottoGrotto]

Good news on a Valhalla 3 💙 I was sad to see the Valhalla 2 being discontinued, as it is a wonderful amp for my zmf og auteurs! A bit sad on Saga going tubeless: once i got a high quality rca tube in my og saga, that’s it’s sweet spot vs solid state - which is still good just mildly sterile. Bargain! Good to hear there is a new Aegir!! Maybe you could have multiple Schiitrs ? Or mobile Schiitr’s ?

Another vote for a SchiitR in Houston. Although I’m down for SA or ATX as well. Finally!

[@phpn99]

So many people and businesses I know, are exiting California. I completely understand why and it's never one's turning their back at their Californian heritage. Why California has become somewhat unliveable, is a major head-scratcher and a large discussion topic. It's a mixture of demographics, rising costs, excessive ideology in public administrations, drastic inequalities, and so forth. California is going through a phase, and with Texas having a similar climate, a super attractive tax regime, more affordable everything, and a growing, cosmopolitan community of highly-skilled locals and expats... what's there not to like ?

[@theonlyegg]

A power grid that can handle a windy day.

[@John-Edward]

I’m definitely disappointed that you are shutting done CA! Tesla still has a huge factory in Fremont, CA, and a lot of their R & D and software is still done in CA! In fact the Optimus Robot is being developed there! What about the “Schiiter”?

[@John-Edward]

I can say that you would not be where you are without CA, USA, but I get it… 🤪

[@yuckysamson]

okay okay okay. Hear me out. This isn't meant as any kind of pejorative, but.....is it just me, but....does Jason not look a little too much like Ed Hermann's character from "The Lost Boys"???
