Schiit Audio Eitr 2
Convert any USB output to a high-quality AES or SPDIF source. Add Forkbeard and turn any old DAC into a full digital preamp and EQ. Yes. That’s Eitr 2!
Turn Any Old Computer, Phone, Or Tablet Into a Spectacular Digital Source
Forget overpriced streamers. Turn any old computer, tablet, or phone into an uber-quality digital source with Eitr 2. AES, SPDIF, and optical outputs are all provided, for ultimate compatibility.
Turn Any DAC Into a Full Digital Preamp and EQ
Order “Digital Preamp” to add a Forkbeard module and transform any old DAC into a full digital preamp. It doesn’t even have to be a Schiit DAC! Forkbeard gives you digital volume, parametric EQ, and Loudness via your iOS or Android device, for ultimate convenience.
USB-Powered or Linear Supply—Your Choice
Eitr 2 runs happily off from its USB input, no other power supply necessary. But if you’re using a battery-powered device, or want the security of an external low-noise linear supply, we’ve provided a wall-wart as well.
Super-High-Quality Parts and Design
Eitr 2 includes Unison USB™, our own dedicated USB interface we designed exclusively for audio. But that’s just the start. Proper transformer-coupled outputs for both the AES and coaxial outputs, and a high-speed optical output capable of 192kHz sample rates are also a key part of Eitr.
Designed and Built in the USA. For Real.
By “designed and built in the USA,” we mean it. Our PCBs are made on our own dedicated line in Corpus Christi. Our chassis are made in California. Everything we make is 100% tested with instruments and ears. No joking, no fooling, no games.
3-Year Warranty, 15-Day Easy Returns
Eitr 2 is covered by a 3-year limited warranty, and backed by a company that’s been making audio gear for more than 15 years. And if you don’t like your Eitr 2, you can send it back for a refund, minus 15% restocking fee, within 15 days of receiving it.
