"kindly sent to me by the company "
That always worries me, screams golden sample.
The penalty on the unbalanced section seems to work well enough as a tradeoff for the superb performance in balanced. Still, I'm always hesitant of company or fanboy samples.
Hopefully their QC is up to snuff, and a teardown can be performed to ensure other users are seeing the same board and component layout. </Hint>
Otherwise, kudos to Schiit for another sharp looking, and well performing product!
Just to comment really quick. Even if the device suffers something not intended, and something you discover that is wrong with it. Schiit has really nice customer service. My first desktop amp was a Schiit Magni 3, and it started getting MEGA scratchy. Told me no problem, swing it on over back to them, and they'll solve it.
So even if they want to risk the blowback from a potential golden sample scenario (which only lunatics would considering the pay-off would not be worth it, in my opinion), if you as a user have a problem I doubt they'd leave you dissatisfied with a purchase.
