Geshelli Erish Balanced Amp puts 1W @32Ohm.......US$ 199
Schiit website apparently.Where are people seeing IMD measurements?
I think this is a legitimate criticism but there was a lot of thought that went into this. We only use one phase of the balanced output so there is no cancellation of distortion between phases. We could have made the SE measure the same but to be honest it adds parts which adds cost, we didn't like how it sounded when tested and frankly we have an awesome SE amp in Hersey. We made an extraordinary balanced amp at a very competitive price. If you want SE performance, save yourself a hundred bucks and buy Heresy.
If I use the RCA unbalanced inputs and the balanced outputs to drive a balanced power amplifier, will I have the same reduction of performance that using the unbalanced outputs does?
As Jim says, the output will be lower but the performance should be what you see in the review here from the balanced out.. which is excellent.If I use the RCA unbalanced inputs and the balanced outputs to drive a balanced power amplifier, will I have the same reduction of performance that using the unbalanced outputs does?
Ah, so the single ended output had "warmth and character" and the balanced output is "sterile and lifeless?"
Big caps are all balanced. But earbuds are not.Are all your headphones balanced..?
I would like to see repeat reviews of new Schiit stuff - this amp, Modius DAC, maybe another Freya S.
It just seems strange that they suddenly started making good products. These could be golden samples.
Then again, this one performs great only in 1 mode - balanced. Competitors perform well in all modes.

I could not think of a pragmatic way to respond. Thank you for being my avatar.Really?!?! They've started posting their own AP measurements on their site. Pretty ballsy move to do that, send Amir a golden sample that matches that and hope no one else on planet earth puts one through a half decent analyser.
Great question. I will have to ask our operation manager. Trying to get all of our worldwide distributors fed during Covid has been challenging.@T.M.Noble
Any idea if/when will this be available in Europe?
