May 15, 2026, Corpus Christi, TX. Today, Schiit Audio debuted Vestri at CanJam Singapore, and opened pre-orders for shipments beginning on May 28. Vestri provides balanced and single-ended headphone outputs, touch controls, and conveniences like our exclusive Loudness contour. Featuring Schiit’s exclusive Unison USB™ receiver and unique Mesh™ D/A conversion with time- and frequency-domain optimized digital filter, Vestri offers sonic performance far above its peers.

“I joke when I say ‘Vestri is the only dongle that matters,’” said Jason Stoddard, Schiit’s Co-Founder. “Which is beyond cheeky, but in a field of 10,000 lookalike products all using the same off-the-shelf technology, it has a grain of truth.”

In addition to Schiit’s exclusive Mesh and Unison USB digital technology, Vestri also includes a unique balanced- or single-ended output stage, with 4.4mm balanced and 1/8” single-ended headphone jack. With up to 400mW available through the balanced output, Vestri drives virtually all headphones to their peak of performance.

Vestri is a fully modern design, with a seamless milled aluminum chassis and glass front, with touch controls and no moving parts. However, unlike other portables, Vestri doesn’t use an OLED screen.

“No screens,” Jason said. “Screens burn in and are a wear item. We want to design for the next generation, not the next sale.”

Instead, Vestri uses individual lighting LEDs embedded below the glass, run so conservatively that they will almost literally last forever.

“It’s the ‘eternal screen’,” Jason joked. “If you don’t drop it in the sand or in your coffee, Vestri should last far past its warranty.”

Vestri offers an industry-leading 2-year warranty.

Unison USB ensures that Vestri simply plugs in and works seamlessly with modern phones, tablets, and even computers and streamers. Controls include volume, Loudness, invert, and NOS modes, all accessible via touch.

Also unlike most portables, Vestri is made in the USA on Schiit Audio’s own SMD assembly line in Corpus Christi.

“We’ve been making products in the USA since we started in a garage 16 years ago,” said Jason Stoddard. “No need to change anything for Vestri.”

Vestri is available now at schiit.com for $99.
