This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!

I’ve currently got a Saga, Gungnir Multibit and my latest acquisition, the Vidar. Each component has been an improvement over what it replaced, and the Vidar is no exception. Dynamic, open, detailed and effortless sounding.

It has more/better bass than the 200 wpc Adcom it replaced. I preferred the Adcom over the Nad C375BEE it replaced. The Emotiva XPA amp I had sucked by comparison. I’m telling you, Schiit Audio is for real.

They are like Carver from the 80’s.

+1 213, I have a Mani and I love it. Gonna pull the trigger on the saga in a day or 2 so I finally get a quality analog preamp. (will likely get a Fulla 2 to mess around with for my headphones, as well)

My favorite Mike Moffatt line of that YouTube video was about the use of electrostatic headphones in the bathtub.."kinda Darwinize out those...."

Just ordered the Schiit book, entitled “Schiit Happened.” Entertaining read through 2 chapters.

I’ve read many of the book chapters and every new chapter from 2018 on.  It’s an inside look at how a small company makes it in today’s marketplace.

bstatmeister, you’re going to be impressed with the Saga.  It is so faithful to the music and transparent.  Be aware that as a passive pre, it doesn’t increase the volts before sending it to the amp, so a volume around 1-2 o’clock is not uncommon, or louder depending on the efficiency of your speakers and your volume preferences.

I was of the opinion that the tube buffer didn’t have any affect, until I inserted the Vidar.  With a really transparent amp, the tube does make a difference, it’s fuller sounding without overdoing it.
