RMAF 2016 "No Schiit?"

Schiit Audio released 2 new pre-amps and a new amplifier today at RMAF 2016.  

The smaller pre-amp was $350 (ish?) and the larger was $699, I believe.  The amp is a class d design and can be ran in stereo or bridged.  Its chassis is half width so 2 of them side by side is the same width as the larger pre-amp.  The smaller preamp is the same width as a bifrost.  They use tubes in their linestage (i believe). The smaller preamp has 1 tube, the larger preamp has 4.  They both have remotes.  The smaller 1 has 1db volume adjustments, the larger has .5db volume adjustments.  The equipment looks really nice and is priced really reasonably.  On a side note, Schiit has a "Modi" multibit dac as well (dont know if thats new...)

Sorry for the lack of specs or knowledge; just wanted to share some schiit!

well Schitt, I am in the market right now for a new amp for my front L&R ATC SCM 19 v2's.  Not sure I want to wait until January...hmmm

$699 and non-class D?  Hope is sounds good as I think two of those would drive the 84 db-W-m (in)efficient ATCs pretty well.  Well within my price point too!
