    Boy, I'm sure Jason is thrilled to read everybody's excitement about one of his DACs, so it can be paired with a non-Schiit amp.....:rolleyes:

    My guess is that he is thrilled at all the BW / Gungnir Multibit combo photos, because they aren't bw / anything else combos. Part of the benefit of making separate amps and dacs is that people can pick and choose pairings. If he is being "put on notice" and the complaint is case color and not sound, quality, customer service, etc; Schiit is doing pretty well.

    I want whatever color has the highest sq/$ ratio. Chartreuse? Hell yes! How about mauve? I feel stupid even having read this thread.

    Hmmmm,
    My comcast "inbox" now contains a "Thank you" / order confirmation from Schiit for , 1 each Black Yggdrasil :punk:
    They are also still currently showing "in stock" for those, shallow, like minded souls who might be in the market for one.
    I guess I'll soon be doing a Gen Va vs Yiggy comparison on my own terms. :)

    You guys really don't know how to use google do you?

    The more professional (and long lasting) approach would be to leave the outer case to an anodizing service. Might cost you $50-100 (they might have to sandblast it first) but it's probably no more than what schiit would be forced to charge if you could send your case to them.

    If you go the professional route there is also "wet paint" and "powder coat". Powder coat tends to look like plastidip but is harder and lasts better. Wet paint is car paint and good if you want a smooth glossy surface like on a custom car. Which is better is a matter of taste. In any case it's totally doable and a small piece of metal like this should be walk in the park for a pro.

    Do bear in mind that scratches will show up more easily, so if you paint or anodize it you're going to have to baby it. And yes - you will void you warranty. But it does look cool I suppose.

    Nope,
    I'm shallow, lazy, and illiterate.....:(
    Were I to look up something like anodize, I would continue reading to find "hard anodize" (very durable).
    But I prefer the 15 day trial + warranty (in the color I prefer) route. ;)

    If that was done by hand, I am deeply impressed.

    It looks great, though personally I could never own something like that because I would go nuts over fingerprints and dust.

    That is both crazy and impressive. I would have a hard time keeping it clean.

    Damn, that's sexy. I could easily pimp that. Would love a matching dac & amp with that look.

    I currently have 12 Schiit devices, and I would have preferred all of them to be black. All my other audio/video devices are black. Nonetheless, this hasn't stopped me from buying their Schiit. In my office, their equipment just sits on my desk, and I have some of their portable devices (fulla). Nonetheless, in my main listening area with speakers, I just hide their Schiit behind a door in my cabinet so it doesn't clash with everything else I have. Even my speakers are black... Nonetheless, I can appreciate their desire for production simplicity to deliver quality products at more than reasonable prices. I guess that's how I ended up with so many of their devices in the end, so I guess their process has worked on me regardless of color.
