You can say that again, Robert!

I have a Schiit Gungnir DAC in my main system, along with the Schiit Wyrd USB Decrapifier and of course, Loki, the trickster god of DSD, which sounds ridiculously good for a $149 product (for example, it sounds considerably better than an Audioquest Dragonfly v1.2, which is saying something).

Schiit is an incredibly innovative company that is like a breath of fresh air in an all too stuffy high-end industry. They remind me of Zu in that respect.

BTW, do a search for Schiit Happened and read the e-book about the founding of Schiit by co-founder Jason Stoddard. A very good, informative, and at times, very funny read. Also, lots of VERY good insights there about effectively running a technology-based business, especially a start-up.

These guys are no bullschiit! For example, they have a saying in their fulfillment/customer service center, "We will bend over backwards to help a customer, but we won't be bent forwards."
