Not sure if this is the correct part of the forum but interested if any members have had a play with a Schiit Loki equalizer. Currently seriously considering one as a possible work round for my speaker/room problems.
Cost is minimal in hifi terms and if it doesn't work with the speakers there's always the headphones, especially the Oppo PM1 and Audeze LCD3 which I feel could use a little tweaking with some recordings. I know equalizers and tone controls are a bit of a big no to many but I've long abandoned any ambitions of hearing the music as the artists intended, too many compromises in my setup.
The only equalizer I've played with is the digital one in my Fiio DAP and I fairly quickly abandoned that.
Lots of positive reviews and good feedback from owners in various forums.

Hi Cooksferry, I say go for it. I think tone controls should make a come back (ducking for cover now..) :-)

Hi Cooks, The schit control has had great reviews and I think its perfect for people that are having issues or for people that just want to add or subtract some bass, treble or adjust the balance Hopefully it will help with your situation and you will finally be able to relax and enjoy the music again Good luck 😁

Anything to avoid being dragged out to the man cave and forced to listen again to more of my depressing music to see if the latest micro tweak has worked.

Birthday in March.
So much for waiting for comments, just ordered the Loki. Will post some feedback once I have had time to have a play with the item.
Ordered direct from Schiit, quite a bit cheaper than out of Aus, couldn't find any Schiit dealers here in NZ.

Lol patience is not for you then hehe We did look at bringing Schit products into NZ but the cost of shipping and gst import cost would have put the prices through the roof Shame really, but sometime its just not a feasible idea

The RAGNAROK amp caught my eye as a functional dual purpose model for those that do both speakers and phones on a regular basis.

Mike Moffat knows how to make a good product. Look forward to hearing your comments.

Good move. We briefly discussed the SCHIIT LOKI back in Oct 2017. Mike Moffat (previously Theta Digital) & Jason Stoddard (previously at Sumo Electronics) are clever guys. I think they enjoy being 'outlaws'. RMAF interviewWith their bargain-priced entry-products & their direct-sell approach (which probably works best in USA).
