Our Thoughts RADAR AI

The Skoll has earned a strong reputation as Schiit’s unusually flexible, low-noise phono stage, and US$329 is a strong used-market buy. With the current Skoll F selling around US$399–US$449 new, this price leaves sensible room for used ownership, particularly if the unit is clean and complete.

Its appeal is real: adjustable gain and cartridge loading, MM/MC support, balanced XLR and single-ended RCA connections, two inputs, and a useful remote make it far more adaptable than most rivals at this level. The discrete, passive-RIAA design is notably quiet, while the switchable low-frequency filter can help with record warp or subsonic energy. Confirm that the remote and power supply are included, but absent any undisclosed damage, this is an easy listing to consider rather than a price to haggle aggressively.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Schiit Audio

Schiit Audio: Brand Overview

Schiit Audio is an American audio company founded in June 2010 by Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat, two veteran engineers with deep roots in the high-fidelity industry. Based in California with manufacturing operations in Texas, the company emerged from a shared vision between its founders—who had reconnected after years in separate audio ventures—to democratize desktop hi-fi. The name itself, deliberately provocative, reflects Stoddard's irreverent approach to a traditionally buttoned-up market, born from his wife's exasperated suggestion during late-night garage sessions.

The company specializes in personal audio components, with a product portfolio spanning digital-to-analog converters (DACs), headphone amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated amplifier-DAC combinations. Schiit's first product, the Asgard headphone amplifier, launched in 2010, followed by the Bifrost DAC in 2011. The lineup ranges from entry-level pieces starting around $99 to premium offerings exceeding $2,000, with the company positioning itself as a leader in direct-to-consumer audio sales.

Schiit occupies a distinctive position as an accessible yet credible player in the audiophile market. Rather than pursuing ultra-premium positioning, the company has built its reputation on delivering genuine sonic performance at consumer-friendly prices—a philosophy its founders describe as trying to "out-cheap" each other. This strategy has resonated strongly; the company has grown substantially since inception, operating from a dedicated 15,000-square-foot facility and maintaining a reputation for transparency, quality engineering, and genuine engagement with the audio enthusiast community.
