Valhalla 2 review coming soon!
I'd like to know at which volume levels do you guys listen to music with Valhalla 2 using HD-650. I've been told that 10 o'clock should be enough power to kill my ears, but mine doesn't do that even at 3 o'clock when on stock tubes and high gain. After plugging in the Lyr tubes things got a bit...- headvier

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Hi guys, Two months ago I got myself HD650s. I drive them through the Schiit Valhalla 2 amp, yet I don't have a dedicated DAC in my setup. Currently my only source is this ****ty Realtek integrated card (headphone out only) on my quite old and cheap notebook. I fixed the clamping force...- headvier
