Schitt is a fairly new company, I believe is part or wholly owned by Mike Moffat, one of the owner/designers from Mark Levinson.

So there's some good cred behind it, and from what I've seen and heard their products are top end without the high price tag and glitzy external appearance, that so many glitz queens get lured into paying fortunes for, that have similar design and technology inside but with a fancy eye candy chassis.

Mike Moffat was the designer of the initial Theta products. He then had a company named Angstrom and made a good surround sound processor.

Sorry, knew it was one of those esoteric ones.

Just as good in the digital domain of yesteryears DAC’s and CDP’s.

Yeah and what happened to Angstrom a few years back, big fanfare at the beginning, promised to revolutionize d to A conversion, then nil heard about it for stereo application. Or was that another dac chip starting with an "A" maybe Anagram Technologies?

PS: Just did a search, looks like Analog Devices bought them out.

Looking at this piece online,  It would lead me to believe that Jason did this piece rather than Mike.  At one time, Jason was head designer at Sumo.... They are calling this amp a cyclotron design which is terminology that Jim Bongiorno's amp designs were dubbed at Sumo decades ago.  Of course, they both could easily had their hands in it.
