Soundmig, when did you get your Gumby?
Wow is right. IMHO, Gumby competes fully with the Bricasti M1, which costs 8X as much.
It is impressive, indeed. Schiit is all about the value proposition.
Value=Quality/Price
In my personal view, the current state of the high-end is that many high-end audio products, because of their stratospheric prices, have acquired, to some extent, the attribute of "vleben goods", where the value is tied to the price, i.e., the more expensive something is, the more it is valued.
The irony of this is that there are many audiophiles that would not consider Schiit's products quite simply because they do not cost enough.
Schiit just stays "on-mission": to provide exemplary performance for money to their customers. As a professional who teaches "Voice of the Customer" to companies in biotech, I really respect that.
