Yes I think they actually took a look at the market, decided that the reality is you can build the best of the best for only 1k... but that they are going to market it as made in the USA and play to everyone's inner feelings about supporting american companies, then they decided that since other companies were selling $80 DAC's that were inaudible from $1000 DAC's that they would build different devices for different price segments. Then they would make up huge stories for marketing to play to peoples lack of knowledge about audio in general and they would specifically design the devices so that each "tier" has a perceived increase in quality so that people could feel like they were getting their monies worth.Sorry but some attributed allot of foolishness to the three words I posted. Not my intent, but there are "different" rules for"certain" posters which limits honest discussion. I never thought you made anything up, but you do tend to repeat it loudly and often. If one likes their gear or not, IMO it is rather grating that many here constantly bellow this company is run by thieves and dishonest people. People try and do their best, one might not agree, but to think something else is just ignorance IMO. Honestly, do you think people sat around a table and said "hey let's build bad equipment and sell it"?
Don't at any point in time think that Schiit wasn't built with this systematic idea in mind. Or products like the Eitr and Wyrd wouldn't ever exist, since they both fix problems which only appear in Schiit gear in the first place.
if the company cared about making actual good products, they would have just fixed their hardware issues even in new revisions... but instead spreading lies about bad USB power and other nonsense to get people to purchase more products to fix the bugs they almost certainly put into their products intentionally? Where do you see the light in all of this? They are literally a company built around the intention of controlling the market through deception and control of informational mediums (HeadFi, SBAF, Reddits Mods, etc).
Excellent for their wallets.Over indulged engineer free from peer scrutiny and and very good marketing strategy.. im sure they believe what they are doing is excellent .
