Schitt Audio Still in business???

I, too, like herbbruce, got a rather uninformative response for them. I ended up putting up a post here on Agon and got my answer.
I can kind of understand their position as everyone 'hears' differently, but a manufacturer should be able to articulate differences between different models, in my opinion.
In any case, I have bought two DAC's from them and they are very natural sounding. They also shipped quickly.

I just ordered a Bitfrost and got it in a week. I accidentally overpaid. They caught it immediately.
Just  started listening but with crappy soon to be replaced speakers. Still sounds much better than the old Rotel. Piano especially. 
I don't blame them  for jumping off the audiophile vocab game,  they can leave that to reviewers and " us". Good engineering at a fair price and a wink at audiophilomania is fine with me. If I find any techno or CS problems I will repost but for now, fair play to them.

Made in America or assembled in america

While they didn't always answer my questions regarding sonic qualities of their products very well they did response promptly and I couldn't be happier with my Yggdrassil. The Yggy added detail, texture and airiness to both my Oppo 105d and McIntosh MCD 205 that didn't exist previously. I'd definitely buy from them again.

Cheeze Louise! Google it. As is close as possible given that most discrete electronic parts are made only overseas.
