I believe they recently updated their Heresy with DC protection, along with a price update.

Not sure if you got one of those, or how one would tell.

My Heresy blew up a pair of IEMs. It was just gone, probably because of how thin the voice coil wires are.

Yeah doesn’t really matter to me. This has been an issue for years, and Schiit clearly didn’t care enough to fix it until now. A company that doesn’t care about their customers is not a company I want to buy from

I was lured in by all the Schitt stack posts on this subreddit -_-

Yea, the new Heretic model has protection - I have the Heresy sadly (easiest way to tell is the Heretic has the gain switch on the front, Heresy in the back). I believe it! I plugged a pair of earbuds in while I was trying to figure out if it was the Heresy or not and it got insanely hot in a short order. Had it been plugged in much longer they would have melted!

Ah, they gave it a new name. That's helpful.

Replacing your Heresy with a Heresy, not so much.

I don't know about yours, but mine is triggered by electrostatic discharge.
