Please enter my name. Thanks.

When I received my invoice, I asked Laura at Schiit to ship to my office address if the Ragnarok FedEx shipment needed a signature. Was no problem for Laura to accomodate. Now that's customer service.

FedEx says my Ragnarok will arrive on Thursday the 13th!

Three days would be great. Looking forward to re-connecting with my music collection.

Sweet! My order #20678 was 4 behind yours. Just received my invoice yesterday. Should have the Ragnarok in my hands before next weekend.

I first corresponded with Jason in November 2013 about Ragnarok availability when he expected to ship by the end of the year or slightly later.   I sold my Woo WA22 in March as Rag availability appeared imminent.   My order # is 20678, so I must be close.....   My iMac/iTunes Ch.D Pure...

Ordered!

Goldendarko,   Great Review. Thanks for your efforts.   I missed out on the Beta program so I am just waiting on the production orders to open up.   You mentioned you could really hear the deficiencies in Spotify lossless tracks. My understanding is that Spotify does not yet offer true...

Anybody hear from Schiit yet?

I have been checking nearly every day since December on Head-Fi and Schiit.com for a Ragnarok availability announcement. Sure enough, I didn't check yesterday, and just saw it today.   I sold my WA22 earlier this year in anticipation of obtaining a Ragnarok so it is great that it is available...

Jason, Please release the Ragnarok so we can get back to discussing headphone amps....

  amham,   You're correct, and that is how you can benefit from balanced cable runs with a differential signal pair:   Line-level audio cables, especially long ones, can pick up a lot of noise induced from other electrical equipment. By using a pair of balanced signal conductors, the...

  In all fairness to Woo Audio, the WA22 outputs are, in fact, balanced. They simply don't carry a differential signal pair that most folks associate with a balanced audio circuit - and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong in assuming that in today's hyper buzz-word audio world.   As I mentioned...

Being the 1st of May, I was checking here and the site for availability of Ragnarok. Any updates forthcoming?

  Interesting. I found that with the Mytek set at default +4dBu out, the WA22 didn't really come alive until I pushed Pure Music at 0VU. I'm thinking it might be the difference in tubes that we were using.   IAC, since 0dBu out s/n is not a big issue with a desktop application, you're...

Dsg,    I left the output level at the default +4dBu pro level and bypass for volume. Seems to match well with the WA22.   Why did you drop the output level (I'm assuming to 0dBu)? Did you find that you were overdriving the WA22 inputs?   I found that driving the Mytek 192 from Pure Music...

Nu,   I also bypass the volume on the Mytek 192. Mytek recommends it for best quality when you have volume control on the amp like the WA22. I have the 1/4" TRS cable that came with my HD800. I also wanted a custom balanced cable for amps with a differential pair output. It's convenient that I...

The Woo Audio WA22 is a fully balanced amp with both balanced inputs and balanced outputs. The confusion regarding the WA22 stems from the confusion people have between the terms "balanced" and "differential".   For the purposes of this discussion:   A balanced circuit only means that you have...

If $1699 sounds expensive, try comparing a similar power-spec Cavalli Liquid Gold (no speaker outs) at $4K and that's the recently reduced price. A Woo WA5 only gives you 10 Watts per channel at the speaker outs for $3500. The Rag spec is pretty incredible for $1699. My $1699 is burning a hole...

Already have a Mazzer Mini and Expobar Brewtus - need a Ragnarok to complete the set!i

I have an iMac/CD transport in my study that feeds my Mytek/WA22/HD800. When I'm reviewing music on the Mac, I don't always want to have the headphones on so I also have a pair of Quad 21L speakers in the room. The ability of the Rag to handle both chores is why I will purchase ASAP.   I think...

Purrin,   Thanks for the EQ suggestions. What was the Q of the notch? Are you starting the -3dB HF shelf at the 6kHz point?     I originally did the 2.0 mod with the Creatology foam and rug liner. Are you saying to experiment with just the foam to start? Previously, I mentioned my experience...

+1 Did anybody get a listen at the OC meet? HD800s?

Thanks.   Agreed that audio gear price increases exponentially for linear increases in SQ (if you're lucky to get any SQ improvement).   I guess the better question is "Does anyone have any experience with the SQ of both the IE60 and IE80 to give an opinion as to whether the IE 80 is worth...

Is this an image from the OC meet Jason mentioned? Any more?
