Clearly, schiit is having financial problems. If it were just COVID they would say this. So it’s more.While I agree that they should do a better job communicating product delays, it's pretty ridiculous to assume they are having financial problems. It only takes one delayed part to screw up a product schedule.
I don't have any knowledge about Schiit in particular, but I know from other contacts in the audio business that demand is way up, but they are having significant difficulties getting parts from suppliers, making filling orders difficult.
I can certainly understand your frustration though.
