They are very censorship happy over there. Jason posted a chapter and in it he mentioned a 25 watt class A amp. I mentioned that I liked it and that I had an XPA-1 gen 2 which did 60 watts in class A. It was immediately deleted. And the response was something along the lines of just one spec doesn't tell the whole story. Which I found unusual. So I said, the reason I mentioned it was the only thing we know about this class A amp is that it does x number of watts in class A. Then I was asked why I was talking about an amp that may be vaporware anyway. Very confusing. That was what the chapter was about! So I bowed out.
I think they or at least Jason take their online presence seriously and don't want any kind of competition mentioned.
I completely understand why
@amirm won't pursue the conversation. They don't really want to talk to him. But if you did, Schiit has an official email that they are "supposed" to respond to very fast. And I mention that because they don't have a phone line. Everything is done through that email.
Though they have mentioned they won't respond to things that aren't worth their time. So they may not respond either.
they won't respond to emails, I have emailed them about the issues with my USB interface with the Fulla2 before and they full on blamed it on my PC despite whatever emails I sent them.
This is after they replaced my "defective" unit with a "new" unit and the "new" unit had exactly the same problems.
My posting abilities at headfi were revoked after I found the SMSL xUSB and posted about it around the forum. Especially to people asking for a USB->SPDIF converter... because I wasn't recommending the Schiit product my posts kept getting deleted. When people would reply with the Eitr and I told them that the xUSB could do the same thing... my posts were edited or deleted again with warnings from mods that my information cannot be backed up and that I haven't purchased both units to test side by side. Because apparently if you recommend something that isn't a schiit product there needs to be proof that it works with measurements that say that it does the same thing??????? Honestly it made no sense to me and within a few days of recommending it in 5 different threads or so my posting abilities in every thread I had mentioned it in were removed.
There was a guy from ARK Audio who posted in the Magni 3 thread and asked Jason (or whoever was manning that thread) about the voltage numbers in Magni 3 and said that the voltage of their wall wart didn't allow for the voltage they were claiming in output unless they had multiplied the voltage several times over which could cause instability or something along those lines.
They were quick to erase his posts and say that he shouldn't be posting technical information in the thread.
So if you post technical information about schiit products = you are banned from the thread
If you post recommendations to non-schiit products = your posts are deleted and you are later banned from the thread for not providing measurements
They even deleted posts of mine recommending the D30 or M8 in several threads when people were asking about DACs at $250 or less because I said they were better than mimby in my experiences.
My posts were removed for "no conclusive evidence to prove that these DAC's are better than Modi Multibit"... so once again recommending a non-schiit product requires evidence. Recommending a schiit product based on nothing at all but subjectivity = Expected behavior.
As I developed a following on the forum and became more well known they were curating my posts every single day based on me making recommendations for anything people asked me about. In the mrspeakers Aeon thread some people were writing about how the Fulla 2 doesn't work well with the Aeon and the soundstage sounds compressed (I also tested this and found it to sound very poor and sometimes experience a buzzing noise). When I referenced these posts to someone who had an Aeon and was looking at a Fulla 2... my post was deleted and the posts I referenced were also deleted. Someone else responded telling him the Fulla 2 is great... which then sparked a discussion because many people in the thread said specifically not to get it for the Aeon... now I understand that the thread got a bit off topic but within hours they deleted all the posts again except the post telling the guy that the Fulla 2 was great for the reason of "offtopic posts".
So with all that being said... I wouldn't expect anyone from Schiit to ever try to talk to someone with measurements because they themselves know that their business is a scam. They are intentionally ripping people off with the idea that they can just force their products to have good reviews by removing all objectivity and poor reviews from all threads. Another tactic they use is when a poor review is posted or someone is dissatisfied there will randomly be a few "regular posters" who will start talking about random songs they like to listen to in the thread and fill up 2 pages of offtopic nonsense (which ofcourse won't be cleaned up by the mods even if reported) so that anyone checking the thread will have to scroll back a few pages to see someones dissatisfaction.
