Thats he problem  The Asgard 1 only have RCA in.  Otherwise that would be perfect.  Final solution is either the D1 or the Asgard 2.  Asgard is 50-60$ more. I'm guessing it would be better to upgrade my DAC (HRT Streamer ii) to the D1 then it would be to upgrade my Asgard to Asgard 2.

So if i connected my speakers via RCA to the tube pre-out of the D1, then connected the Analog out RCA's to my Asgard amp...when i plug my headphones into the asgard, will the speakers be muted?

Have you checked out the Schiit Asgard 2?  It has 2 pre-out rca plugs on the back that you could plug a 2.1 system into.  Also when you put headphones in the amp it will mute the speakers.  Only reason its not an auto buy for me is because i have the first Asgard without the preouts already.  I...

My goal is to have both my 2.1 speakers and my HD 650's running through my amp/dac combo, into my computer.  I currently own an Schiit Asgard amp and a HRT Music Stream ii.     I have been using the headphone jack on the asgard to switch off plugging my HD 650's and my 2.1 speakers into.  I...
