When I went to the checkout it was $60 for shipping to the UK. I’ll check again.
Nothing special about that output, has exactly the same functions as the others.
Does it means yes or no
It means if you buy the Forkbeard add-on then yes, but if you do not get the Forkbeard add-on then no.
And what about the volume slider on an IOS device? Is the slider locked at 100% or available to control the output volume of the Spdif output?
Thanks
The Fletcher-Munson style Loudness feature is a really nice function of that Forkbeard module for people using it for a speaker setup regularly at low volume (but other times at reference volume).

Yes, I will be testing three LC preamps
Eitr 2 is IMO most likely to have the best implementation

Ordering integrating OG Analog preamps with Wiim Ultra as hub
I am sure this is DUH! territory for them that-know-more-than-I but thought it might be helpful to log my thought process and maybe get some feedback if I am off track. I want to route all sources through a Wiim Ultra in order that (if I use DSP) its PEQs and Roomfit may help, and also the...

My Eitr 2 forkbeard is controlling volume from Eitr to Stello DAC via AES output from Eitr.
More than annoying if you own a old iPad or oppo phone or old iPhone SE ( won't download the app ) so i bought a SE gen 2 to use with the Eitr 2 ( works perfectly and you can name the forkbeard and having your name in schiits version of Norse rune on your app is pretty cool )
So had Eitr 2 for two days so far and I like it ( I like all Schiit stuff I have two sys pre amps and a Eitr 1 and a Rekkr ) the forkbeard works really well ( very impressed actually )
I read somewhere it replaces a streamer? Can't see how? I'm getting a cable for my Wiim to fit onto Eitr so I can use it ( using iPad at the moment via cable ) I bought mine as I suspect will be discontinued like my Eitr 1 ( can see why as the Eitr 2 does more and sounds better ) but why discontinue the Rekkr? There is no other amp like it as far as I am aware? ( Try buying a secondhand one? Hens teeth come to mind ) Anyway moan over...the Eitr 2 is brilliant and my name on the forkbeard in runic form is worth the cost of the module lol

It doesn’t replace a streamer per se, but lets you use your (old that’s sitting around unused) phone or tablet as a streamer by giving it an interface to a better external DAC than the phone in your phone or tablet.
Think I misread the review ( not here ) but I really like my Eitr 2 and my name in rune form on the forkbeard is a nice touch!
Currently using my Eitr 2 with my Quad 909 and leema Xero speakers ( not a set up I especially like but with the Eitr into Stello DAC via AES it sounds very good )
