This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!

Exactly!

I consider my Freya to be plenty glitzy, but I might have a low threshold of glitz. And to answer the question of what it costs to "beat it," it's exactly seven thousand three hundred six dollars and twelve cents. You're welcome. I have two Magni 3s (which equal one Magni 6 I suppose), one for the main system and one for my night stand listening needs (recently acquired Grado 325e phones...a seriously great sounding matchup), and a Loki I use sparingly as hey, I'm a purist. I haven't had time to calculate what it would cost to "beat" those items because I simply don't care....when's that turntable coming out?

Holy Schiit......I have read about their products but now I will take a listen to them.   

I have, do, own several pieces of Schiit. Some bought used, some new.  All well worth their asking price. I agree with the OP. 

Magni headphone amp, original (sold) and 3 (have),
Vahalla headphone amp, original (sold),
Loki parametric Eq (have),
Mani 2 DAC (have),
Bifrost/uber DAC (sold).

My turntable question is still on the table so to speak.
