    @schiit or @baldr might want to take a look. Seems odd their parts are being wholesaled on eBay.

    Is it true that the black Schiit is darker?

    For the record, the vertical panels are grey (not silver) - just like on brushed aluminum finish Schiit products.

    Focal Utopia for $2895 on Audiogon. The headline of the ad says barely used, but the body of the listing says they're NIB. It's not the best deal for a truly used pair, but if it's NIB, it's not bad.

    Not a bad deal, though his timing could have been better since factory sales of both is (supposedly) one day from liftoff after weeks and weeks of 'not available'.

    He's also selling tubes, though I'm guessing when he says "both pairs" he means 'both', or 'a pair'. Still and all, at the end of the day someone could have a very nice rig and a few hundred extra bucks.

    I wonder what happened there? It'll be a week tomorrow, and still no sign of Gumbies (and no Yggdrasil either).

    My Gungnir MB arrived yesterday, so they've definitely started shipping them out:

    Ah, good, maybe they just need to update the website then. Thanks for the data point.

    you're a bad man @Torq. i just gave up my full size office rig. i thought if i ever went back to one, it would be a Modi Multibit and vali 2 with some headphone. although i probably won't do a turntable, you did plant the seed of a ragnarok, some nice planars (CodeX?), and some monitors. dammit torq.

    anyway won't be for a while :)

    I'm guessing they're catching up on previous orders before opening up to new customers. Nice pic BTW!

    Yeah, screw that guy :)

    It does show the benefits of Schiit's very consistent industrial design, looks sweet on top of the Gungnir Multibit..
