Hey everyone. For the past year or so I have been listening to high quality music with my Sennheiser HD 650's. My setup is currently the HD 650's paired with the Schiit Bifrost DAC w/ usb and the Schiit Valhalla Tube Amp. I have my DAC plugged into my laptop with a usb cable where I play my...

Hi guys,   I recently got into the over-ear cans and bought myself a HD600 and HD650 for christmas. Since this was my first foray into higher end headphones, I got myself started with a Fiio E09K and Fiio E17 as a good starting point DAC/Amp. After listening to both of them I decided I liked...

Hi, I have finally gotten the funds to upgrade from my Denon D5000s. My budget is 2000 dollars for both amp/DAC and headphones. I would like a can that does the denons better. Better bass(quality not thump), better mid range and better imaging. I'm using a fiio e9+schiit modi combo.

Most of my listening is with speakers but I do listen quite a bit with my HD650 & Valhalla amp. Mostly jazz, classical, and classic rock. I am very happy with the 650/Valhalla combo. Looking for a similar set of cans with closed back for those times I need to block out noise around me (tv, wife...

Hi everyone,   I am new to this site and am looking into getting a decent pair of headphones.  I have a small DAC / AMP combo and I like the sound, however after using my DAC with my coworkers ~500$ headphone AMP, I realize I need a better amp.   I am probably going to get either the Schiit...

I've been listening to a lot of closed headphones lately and have recently picked up a set of the Pioneer SE-DJ5000 headphones. I picked these thinking they are DJ headphones so they probably have a lot of slam and bass for Rock music. After listening for a few days I think they are quite the...

I am fairly new to this site, and I just joined in mainly because I wanted to inform everyone here that a new amp from Schiit just came out. Well, not really new, but it is different in appearance. Its in gorgeous BLACK!!    http://schiit.com/products/valhalla   Check out the amp and the new...

At work I love my schiit vahalla/bifrost 650 setup.  I would like to set up something similar for music listening at home.  I have some Klipsch bookshelf speakers that I would like to use in addition to headphones.  I was excited by the McIntosh mha100 product until I saw the price of $4,500.  ...

I have just purchased a Schiit Valhalla 2 amp to power my Sennheiser HD 600 headphones. I am currently running the headphones through an iPhone 5. Yup, high end stuff! I have a good speaker based system and am just growing into headphones. If you are like me, and have read endlessly on these...

Just saw the description of the new Valhalla. The Valhalla 2.    Seems that you can now actually use it with low-impedance headphones... although only 180mW in 50Ω, what about 32Ω? You guys think it would still be powerful enough even if the output is somehow below standard (i find its usually...

G'day audiophiles! It's been a long time since I posted and I've been quite out of touch with the audio world (been happily using my gear the last 6 years). I recently purchased a Schiit Valhalla 2 to pair up with my NAD c542 source and my trusty Sennheiser HD650 (with original cable).   My...

The name says it all, I'm torn between the two amps for my first tube amp. I know Schiit is pretty reasonable in price and I hear a lot of good things about it but I also hear a lot of good things about the WA6SE. I've tried to find any kind of comparison between the two before I started this...

Hi buddy, I wonder to start this thread earlier when I received my amp and searched that there is no such tiltle so I start it. Please also state what headphone/s you're pairing with and how do you love the combo. My WA6SE arrived by mid-March this year. I ordered a Sophia Princess 274B and...

Recently bought the HiFi Man HE-500 and have been impressed with the sound running out of my 2 amps   amp 1) Schiit Valhalla   amp 2) Ampsandsound SE84   Both amps drive the phones to listening levels at 30% or less on the volume knob, and unbearable levels at 1/2 volume.   Schiit says...

Hi Everyone,   I have a Valhalla and BiFrost setup in my office paired with a HD650. Simply Audio Euphoria! =-)   However, I have a question, is it possible to setup bookshelf speakers with my current rig? I understand that I might have to include a preamp section somewhere in the chain...

i'm using my laptop sony vaio with 750GB hard  drive as my source, runs thru a Schiit Modi DAC, and a Valhalla amp, According to the hardrive properties i have about 120 gb of free space.   seems everytime i play music at some point on various songs i get a skip its completely random, I've...

Hi all,   I could really use some help here, I seem to change my mind at least 3 time a day at the minute! I have a set of HD650s and am looking for a tube based home amp, I think I've narrowed it down to either the crack, mkiii or valhalla but as I can't audition any of them am at a loss as...

Which would pair better with a set of Sennheiser HD 700's? Bifrost/Lyr     vs     Bifrost/Valhalla      vs      Bifrost/Asgrad 2     vs Woo Audio 7

Yep I said HE#$ with it and pulled the trigger on the Valhalla,  and as soon as the $$$$$$ loosens up a bit next will be the Bifrost.  Ive been reading the reviews and info here on the forums, and it seems like I can"t go wrong with Schiit.  This will be my first purchase of BRAND NEW gear in...

Hi All,   I am interested in purchasing one of the three above to be a dedicated desktop amp for my Westone 4R's.   I am a noob... so I do not know which one would be best or if these are even ideally suited for the 4R's...So which one should I choose?   Any suggestions would be greatly...

Hey guys,   I'm removing my PC from my setup. My Current setup was: PC>>Schiit Bifrost DAC>>Schiit Valhalla>>Headphoens. Now, I am looking for a method of playing my FLAC Files. I want it to have a true dedicated Line Out to either via Optical or Coaxial.   Thoughts?

I'm looking to get an amp really soon and I'm looking at these two. I can see these two amps are receiving pretty good reviews as of late, but I haven't read anyone comparing the two. Can anyone list some pros and con's for each with my particular setup? All I have as of now is the DT 990 and...

Hey all, I've had the opportunity to listen to the Schiit Asgard , the Valhalla, and own a Modi DAC. I like their stuff (not too surprising),  and I'd like to buy my first Tube amp. Right now, my sights are set on either the Little dot MK III, or the Valhalla. But I'm curious if Schiit plans on...

Looking to get a decently priced amp at the moment. It is going to be used solely at my computer and its not going to move anywhere. Will get a DAC later down the road, but first and foremost I need an amp. Price range is going to be in the ~$120 range. Can be a little flexible.

Well...the cat is out of the bag!!   Quote from Purrin:   The initial review is that it's "the best amp under $1650.00!!!" from another old member I really trust.  The best thing is...it's only $120.00!!!!   It's definitely nice to see a company push the envelope in terms of performance...
