Schiit Amps

I'm poking around for a new headphone amp. I've had a great experience with my Bifrost DAC, so I'm looking at the Schiit amps, particularly the Lyr.

And what do I see? The on-off switch is on the back of the unit. So I'm supposed to reach around hot tubes and feel for the switch every time I want to turn the thing off? Seriously?

Has anyone lived with one of these units? Is this as big an ergonomic disaster as I think?

And if anyone can fill me in as to why Schiit put the switch where they did, that would be interesting to know as well.

Happy listening,

Jim
