No Schiit ?

Unread post by Fretless »

Schiit Audio distributors in Europe have been experiencing major supply difficulties in recent months,
the following newsletter from them does clarify the matter and offers hope for more great Schiit in the future:

We receive every day a lot of questions when we receive new stock….we try to explain a bit more down below:
Schiit is in the middle of the most significant production expansion ever undertaken with a new facility to build more smaller models like Magni/Modi etc and will give some more space on the current production line. This frees up huge resources in California, both in terms of space and the ability to create production teams that can build the larger products more effectively. Of course Schiit still have to deal with the Covid19 restrictions, but this should allow Schiit to meet higher demand soon.
Please accept our apologies. We would like to be able to supply you with everything you want, but it’s going to take a while longer before that can happen. We dont have a specific date yet to share with you but we hope we can deliver in a few weeks some first stock that will become available. If you want a notification for new stock just subscribe you on the product page of your desired product and once its on stock you will receive a notification on your email.

Used market is going to get daft.
I really like my Schiit Mani, not the most dynamic phono stage, but beautifully detailed.

Excellent value for money, if you can find one.

I'm currently looking at the Magnius headphone amp as an upgrade to the remarkably fine Magni3. The Bifrost2 DAC is also of interest.

Loads of headphone amps to choose from Fretless, not least a well known brand not a million miles away from this forum :roll:
Talking of headphone amps, I tried the headphone out from my Chinese valve amp a couple of weeks ago, I was shocked at how good it is, powerful, punchy, detail, it's got it all, and it came free with my amp. :dance:

It's mostly idle curiosity on my part, the Schiit units I have are interesting designs and do their job very well. Would like to hear one of their DAC's sometime as they are rated as exceptionally good. But have to watch my expenditure at the moment due to COVID worries.
