I would like to thank everyone who posted here. My Nitrous Oxide bills have been greatly reduced.
Schiit not shipping
Anybody else only receiving lip service instead of customer service from Schiit Audio? In March I ordered three products and today May 28th they say they have no idea when any might ship, saying the Freya production is stopped. Back order dates have come and gone without any explanation or contact.

soundsrealaudio"I would like to thank everyone who posted here. My Nitrous Oxide bills have been greatly reduced." What is with you guys that depend on drugs there are so many of them here are you all Americans? It's like the guy who was promoting his $25,000 USD listening test challenge scam who admitted to his use of hallucinagenics are things so bad in the US that you can't be happy without mind altering drugs that's what I have a Music Reproduction System for! |
uberwaltz"You do KNOW what Nitrous Oxide is don't you? And how that was a completely irreverant post?" Ha ha ha ha ha another druggie joke! Ha ha ha ha ha I know what it is its' a drug go ahead and mangle your brain as you laugh your way into idiocy with you're supposed intellectual "irreverance" ha ha ha ha have fun! |
uberwaltz"You totally missed it so should I use small words or big letters?Nitrous oxide is an anaesthetic when mixed with oxygen basically, so technically a drug yes.But its common name is laughing gas....Now do you actually get it?? I "got it" the first time but I can understand very easily how all of the contributors here who use drugs, promote drugs joke about drugs and recommend drugs to others struggle to understand what is going on here this is what drugs do to you. Ha ha ha ha let's make some more druggie jokes they are so funny here's a smily so you know I'm just joking. :) |
If you "got it" the first time then I have no idea whatsoever why you would have quoted that particular post and tried to tie it to some "druggie" reference as it clearly had no aspersions to claim any use of drugs at all. It was just a clever little joke... Period. But please do carry on as from your style of "writing" I have grave misgivings on who is actually partaking of drugs right now...... |
uberwaltz"But please do carry on as from your style of "writing" I have grave misgivings on who is actually partaking of drugs right now......" Ha ha ha ha another druggie joke you are so funny :) don’t worry about you’re grave misgivings English is not my native language I actually speak 7 or 8 languages depending on how you figure it but keep making you’re jokes about drugs here you have some company remember "gdhal" and his $25,000 USD phony test scam he tried to rip me and others off he was in to hallucinagenics and admitted it here and when confonted on it others came to defend him and the use of drugs there are a lot of druggies hear your just one of them ha ha ha ha here’s another smily for you :) how about some more drug jokes sure you can claim its’ me on drugs good luck proving that yes it's just a "clever little joke" you made anyone hopped up on intoxicants can get it ha ha ha ha . |
It doesn't seem like a tremendous number of A'goners who actually post are heavy into the drug scene. I mean, who knows what happens behind closed doors, but I have the feeling most audiophiles have either progressed past that stage or never walked on it. Especially the nitrous stage. I mean, that's pretty hedonistic. It brings back memories of balloons and CO2 cartridges all over the parking lot. |
I ordered Freya March 23rd...along with Yggy. Freya May be ready to ship 6/6 (doubtful) but Yggy has the gen 5 problem and shows 6/29...most likely Freya will be off the shelves again and they won’t ship me an Yggy either at the end of June. I feel like my order is spiraling down the schiitr and I’ll never see a ship date |
simao"It brings back memories of balloons and CO2 cartridges all over the parking lot." Ha ha ha another "audiophile" druggie this explains so much about some of the crazy notions presented within the forum you're senses are all distorted because you have fried your brains on drugs I feel very sad for you people who's ability to think, reason and assess are so severely limited by what you have done to yourselves but at least you have your fond memories of using drugs! |

dill"After reading some of his previous posts, it seems he is not thinking clearly." I am certainly thinking more clearly than those who's brains are scrambled from their self-admitted drug use whether current or in the passed and I continue to be amazed at the sheer numbers of contributors here who openly admit, acknowledge and embrace the use of mind altering drugs and of course this completely undermines the value of any opinions they offer here. |
Someone told me when I had problems with a very small but popular audio company that poor service often came with “boutique audio companies”. I had really poor communication with the owner, excuses, an arrogant reply, terrible customer service and overall lost money. Never again. That was not Schiit Audio, but maybe it could be. |
I bought my first product from them by online order Friday. An Eitr. I got a notice of shipping today (Monday) from the "Incontinence Institute of America." These guys are really beating this to death. Whatever. I have a sense of humor, and notwithstanding the "poo-poo head" level of their marketing, I think the company offers some clever products at price points that make sense, even to non-audiophiles or the budget-minded. |
Another ship date has passed. As of June 8, their website still says June 6--misleading as Schiit. 4th missed date. Still no communication initiated from them. Just missed ship dates. I think companies, large and small, should get out in front of problems. Maybe a letter to the customer with explanation--is that too much to ask? Maybe offer another product that is in stock and could be returned? Pull product from the website? Their name needs to be funny and ironic. So far, they're full of Schiit. |
I'm sure Schiit isn't happy with delays in shipping as it's likely that many have cancelled orders, and getting a bad reputation for service is something no manufacturer wants. In any case, although mine was delayed by a couple of weeks back in November, I still have no idea how they make a $700 tube preamp in the USA that actually sounds fabulous...I assume they're simply less greedy and that approach has (mostly...shipping issues make people angry) worked for them maybe too well. |

Hopefully the wait is almost over for those waiting for their orders. I feel for customers as I was waiting for a Freya before I gave up and bought the Saga as mentioned above. From what I understand, the heating up economy is causing shortages all over. It’s definitely a good job market in many areas. I ended up returning the Saga. I had thought that I was getting some depth to the soundstage with some material, but that might have been a little optimistic as I’m not getting that now. I also can’t really hear any differences between passive and tube stage. I burned in the Saga for 50 hours. It does sound very good with a wide soundstage and a neutral sound, though it sounded bright at times in my system. I found that I needed some gain and missed having remote on/off, bass management, and 12volt triggers, to name a few things lacking that the Parasound P5 has. I thought the Saga might replace the P5 for me, but to my ears it doesn’t. The P5 gives enough spatial cues to have 3D imaging, or depth to the imaging, at least with my system. Plus the tone seems fuller. So the Saga is going back. Just out of curiousity, has anyone been getting good depth to the soundstage with either the Freya or Saga? |
Interesting wolf, I couldn’t get any depth out of the Saga no matter what I tried, where as with the Parasound P5 in the same exact system it was present when recordings had it. Perhaps the Freya is indeed better in this regard than the Saga. But at any rate I got tired of having to flick the power switch and my sub could not do much with the second set of pre outs. YMMV. |
Is Schiit Audio a Chinese company? I received an email from the order dept on 12/23 which stated 😟 |
Anyone else getting this message with a cancelled order with a valid credit card from them? Several key pieces of information in your order did not match and met the profile of potentially fraudulent activity. Since the order did not pass inspection, it was canceled and all funds were returned to the purchasing credit card. We cannot be too specific as what indicators we use to identify credit card fraud. As a direct sales business with high value merchandise we receive a good amount of attempted fraudulent activity. We carefully review each order before processing a transaction. Your best way to ensure trouble-free ordering and shipping with us in the future is to order using a Paypal verified account. |
Just a note about Schiit service...I had an issue with an Aegir that turned itself off too easily, and they sent me another one immediately with excellent communication and no baloney...no return shipping fee for the rejected amp, no fees for the new one. Sadly I did return the second one as it's sound wasn't what I prefer, but that's just me. Great company though. |
