Schiit Audio is a pioneering American audio equipment manufacturer founded in June 2010 by industry veterans Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat in Valencia, California. Known for their intentionally provocative name and direct-sales approach, Schiit started in Stoddard's garage and has grown into a major force in affordable high-end audio, operating from a 15,000-square-foot facility in Valencia and a second production facility in Corpus Christi, Texas. The company specializes in headphone amplifiers, DACs, preamps, and power amplifiers, with products ranging from $49 to several thousand dollars, all designed and manufactured in the USA. Stoddard brings experience from Sumo and his marketing agency Centric, while Moffat founded Theta Digital and pioneered innovations like the first standalone DAC. Employing 40+ people across both facilities, Schiit has achieved remarkable success through direct sales, quality engineering, and their philosophy of making high-end audio highly affordable while maintaining American manufacturing, becoming a beloved brand among audiophiles worldwide.
