Schitt Audio Still in business???


I have attempted to email repeatedly from different email accounts and my email is returned from google saying they cannot relay to the schitt email server.

The company also does not like to staff to answer the phone.  

With this type of customer service I can understand why they would go out of business.

It took a couple of days before google bounced back the delayed reply. I have set from other domains hosting mail MX records same delayed bounce.

Thanks for the update maxboy00, I do hope its a great addition to tour system.

What a strange day and time we live in when you have to beg a company to respond to you.  

I was in the tank to purchase one of their dacs, but this experience has changed my mind.
I went back and originally did send to [email protected]. Never got a reply. Then picked up sending to schitt.com..  Ill wait on the original email I sent.  Why can't they answer the phone.  Nevermind. 
As I said above 
"I went back and originally did send to [email protected]. Never got a reply. Then picked up sending repeatedly to @schitt.com. "   (Wrong email address)
I never did see a reply back from the first email. I resent a email to the correct address and this time Jason replied back in less than a few hours.  

I had read so many good write ups about their products I was very surprised to not see any response. The audio business is not what it was and I believe it is the buyer that has gotten the short end of the stick. How do you spend k's on equipment having never heard it.  

I am.going to put Schiit back on my list if you guys purchasing their stuff  find it sounds as wonderful as Shiit proclaims it be.  
Made in America!! Not just marketed and sold Is a very good thing. 
Yes they are in business.
I continue to read this and other forums about positive SQ of the Yggy.  I was on the path to purchase a Gumby.  But instead..

I sent an email order for a Yggy on Thursday and received an email the next day it had shipped. 

Yes they are in business.  Looking forward to see what this Schiit is all about. (Had to say).
Does break in mean just turn it on or does it need to have:
1). a source cd/streamer running attached yggy?
2) output of yggy attached to amp?
3). Amplifer on
4). Speakers attached to Amp

It is a strange requirement and I have not seen what is actually required for break in

Id prefer to not leave my tube amp running for no reason.
Official Answer from Shiit responding to my email

In our opinion, both inputs offer similar performance, and no input needs to be used for run-in—just turn it on and leave it on continuously.
Yggy arrived on Saturday.  Took it directly home plugged it into the Sonos connect using both toslink and digital coax.  Then into Prima Luna using some 25 year old :) 20ft monster rca cable.

first song I my play list was Allison Kraus. Wow, clarity and coming closer to open air.  A couple of weeks I borrowed a Ayre Codex from my local Hifi store Audio Advice.  Lucky to have them.  I purchase all my gear from them.  But I heard Zero differnce if the stock Sonos DAC and the Ayre codex.  I was relieved to hear such a grand improvement out of the box.  

It is now Monday night so it has been burning in for 48 hours. It's getting better.  It really is starting to sound like live music.  

I decided to throw the money into what everyone on this site was saying about yggy.  Just could not go back to records.  38 years ago the tick and pop of albums drove me through the roof.  CDs I had hoped were the answer. All these years later finally approaching the record and without the memorable ticks and pops.  Those records on my maranta and dual turntable did sound pretty good though. First money I earned went into drums(Ludwig and Zildjian) and stereo equipment.  We always return to our passion. 

Anyway,  loving what I am hearing after 48 hours. 

I think I'm going to hold off on Sonos mod.  Maybe look at roon in the future.
