It is impressive, indeed. Schiit is all about the value proposition.
Value=Quality/Price
In my personal view, the current state of the high-end is that many high-end audio products, because of their stratospheric prices, have acquired, to some extent, the attribute of "vleben goods", where the value is tied to the price, i.e., the more expensive something is, the more it is valued.
The irony of this is that there are many audiophiles that would not consider Schiit's products quite simply because they do not cost enough.
Schiit just stays "on-mission": to provide exemplary performance for money to their customers. As a professional who teaches "Voice of the Customer" to companies in biotech, I really respect that.

My Gumby arrived last Thursday afternoon and has been turned on continuously since. I've only played music through it, however, for about 8 - 10 hours of that time. Its gone through some character changes. I listened some last evening and it seems to be settling in as the soundstage has become even larger and the "see-through" transparency is getting "smoother" sounding. Obtuse prose I know, but since you own one, you know what I mean. :-)
