An interesting thought, if they do develop such a thing I will certainly try to beta test one.

its not there…

These are a few of my dealings with Schiit, a coaster amp turned into a space ship with an internal music source and led’s that flashed with the music. A gift for my granddaughter.

Me playing with single triode tubes in both a Vali 2 and a DAC. I am a gemini so things need to match up at times.

Lastly these are 6sn7 tubes that I concealed for Schiit for a shootout. Jason heard about a bet I made with a friend who said he could pick a GE tube blind. He barely lost the bet and named 5 out of 8 tubes I sent lol. The bet was for a very nice bottle of Italian wine and a steak dinner. I sent him two bottles of the same wine I chose as a thank you for being a good sport.

Very true. There should be two devices coming out this year if all goes well and most folks seem to know what they are so that is not much news. I am waiting for a device that should hit in 2021 that should be freaking amazing, and for which I should be a beta tester.

That is about all I can say because Jason entrusted me with some info. Most who know me, know I love tube sound and not so much solid state.

My guess is a Super Heresy and a new TOTL tube Hybrid. :man_shrugging:t4:

well talk had been of the transport and a power amp in most groups I have seen. I rarely do hybrid amps.

I don’t think so. Sorry I am new here and had people addressing me in private as well as on this thread so I got a bit mixed up.

There was a super hersey with 32 opamps and it lost in the magnius development…

As with Paladin…my lips have to be sealed for now…

yeah as I said I got mixed up lol so I erased. On occasion I send nice gifts to folks a Schiit, it helps me get things like a Freya S when they do not actually exist. I may be making a cutting board for one lady soon.

Has someone coached you on how to testify or be deposed :wink: Looking forward.

In the meantime, I’m trying 'm trying to choose a preamp that especially has that “there with the musicians” presentation/effect. To my ear, this is influenced by holographic imaging (being able to walk around the instruments in the acoustic image), texture and layered notes, engaging vocals and mids, micro-detail and plankton. I was at The Schiitr this past weekend and focused on the headphones; only the Freya + was hooked up. I might have to revisit in order to focus on comparing the preamps and various modes, including Freya + differential buffer vs Freya S Nexus.

I believe the Freya + is a hybrid tube preamp. I’m also considering the Feliks OTL preamp outputs and the ZMF Pendant transformer based preamp outputs.

Those are beautiful.

I was merely speculating, I hope that you don’t feel that I was trying to pry any information from you.

I look forward to what Schiit has planned in the future.
