Has anyone purchased through the Schiit audio website (schiit.com)? Both on my phone and my laptop, Google has labelled it unsafe and not private. I wanted to purchase a modi 2 and magni 2, but wanted to make sure it was safe. Thanks!

I think either TekSyndicate or LTT did a video on Schiit's stuff, so I'll assume they're safe. 

LTT did.

they seem to be a very reputable brand, but on the teksyndicate forum there was some shady stuff going on about schiit trying to silence someone who found a potential manufacturing flaw. nothing of this is actually confirmed, but there was a quite reputable person banned from a schiit-sponsored audio forum over this.

If they're working properly they'll sound like sound.

Instead of noise?

It was confirmed. There's a video on youtube of the amp deforming an AKG driver. The guy was Nwavguy and he was the creator of the o2 and odac. The forum that you're talking about is Head-Fi and half the stuff over there is BS anyway.
