Loki Max analog improvement

White "chicken head" knobs. Seriously...I can't see the small indentations in the stock knobs from over four feet away so I did something about it! The "chicken head" knobs (had them on guitar amps for years) are an amazing solution allowing you to see adjustments...even in a darkish room...and when you switch to a preset you get entertained by the knobulations (a real term I just made up). They look a little strange at first but add some soul to the staid conservative design and now I really like the look. Who knew? The little set screws go right into the flat bit if the post and are secure. Cheap thrills. Get black ones if you have the grey Schiit finish...or red...blue...

I got thin strips of dark navy tape on front of upper half of each knob. It can be seen across the room.

If interested in the performance, I posted a brief initial impression review here entitled Schiit Audio Loki Max Experience.  What makes it so effective from an audiophile viewpoint are the very fine amount of response adjustment for each “click” of the knobs and the bypass switch which reassures the listener that the Loki Max is not in any way degrading the quality of the music signal. Amazing performance at an almost unbelievable price.
