Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit?


Most of us I think when buying something where workmanship and materials are less critical than price will go to a discount store like Walmart of Target (I think we've all heard they about calling it Tar-zhay because it's classier than Walmart) or Costco - the sort of stores where what you buy is not the best but it's always good for what you pay for it. I'm wondering, is Schiit the audio equivalent of Target? That is, does anyone buy it because the Schiit gear is particularly good, or merely that it's good for the price? The only Schiit product that I've ever bought is the Asgard as a headphone amp, since I don't use headphones that often, and I wasn't going to put a lot of money into it. Actually, I tried the Vali 2+ at first, and that seemed rather inadequate, so I sent it back and got the Asgard instead. It seems good enough, though I don't have much to compare it to, but it seems to struggle a bit in getting to higher volume levels.

I have owned the Schiit Modi and Magni for headphones.  I listened to the work computer CDs and Spotify.  It was much better than the add-on computer audio card and quite listenable.  Was it audiophile quality?  No.  But who has the time or need for audiophile presentation while working?  However, it was better than anything I had ever listened to before, on those computers, and it was reasonably priced. 

I think that the company is the best USA company for audio quality in their products price range.
