Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar

 the world of high end is measured by diminishingly small additional 


If you are one that will purchase a $5000 + interconnect cable, Schiit will not be on you radar anyway. 
Majority of Schiit’s  purchasers are not concerned with “ bit depth” details in digital files. Schiits buyers just want simple, great sound. That is what they provide. 

Except for the 2 grand or so DAC and an integrated amp, everything these guys (Shiitheads?) make is basically "super cheap." I've been thinking about buying a "Loki" 4 band tone gizmo just to destroy any shred of audio geek credibility I may or may not have, as I imagine it friggin' works (can't find any reviews, but still). Although I love my current preamp (balanced SS monster, dual mono, blah blah), I recently decided to jump from the frying pan into a Freya because hey…look at the damn thing! 

OK then…I ordered a Loki. To all my friends on the forums (imagined or otherwise), I’m sorry…I had to try the thing…I’m normally a purist (sort of) firmly in the anti EQ camp, I’ve railed against DSP gizmos, bullied and ridiculed others who don’t share my view, and now…here I go…adding something in the line to my beloved Fire Bottle amp…what’s happening to me? I clearly need professional help…*sniff*…sad…

I like the Loki…wrote a little review…it’s way cool (the Loki, not necessarily my review).
