    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

    Really? I had (just sold them) the HE400i & with my iphone voume cranked all the way up the Asgard2 I needed the gain switched up, the volume knob was turned all the way to 3 o'clock & it still seemed starved. I don't know I guess I just thought with a desktop amp like that you would just barely...

    Awesome review. I wish there was something simple like this where you could plug in an iPhone, which would then bypass the internal iphone DAC & also be a decent amp as well all in one clean package like this.

    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

    Sorry I didn't see your post earlier! I would say about 60% of my music library was burned from CD's, then from about 2007 on I've been buying my music at normal mp3 quality. I'm definitely going to hang on to the Asgard until I give it a fair once around with several different headphones. It...

    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

    From what I've read on multiple posts is that the iPhone's internal DAC is not that bad at all so I feel like what may be the deciding factor if I keep the Asgard 2 is trying out a few different headphones with it.    I think I'm going to pick up a pair of Fidelio X2, used pair of HD700's &...

    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

    Interesting, so I may have to bi-pass the iPhone's internal DAC & go with an external? After a solid 4-5 hours of listening I am starting to hear some differences. I noticed the vocals on several songs sound much more enveloping & spacious, although not with ALL songs. So I guess I may have to...

    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

    Just opened up my Christmas gift & YESSSSSS I finally got the Asgard 2. So pretty, so clean!!!   Now I want to just say I'm not technically sophisticated at all about my audio gear. I just love music & I want to enjoy it at it's most optimum.    But I do have a few questions for the seasoned...

    This part of the "science" kind of confuses me being a newbie. If I listen primarily through an iPad or iPhone they already have a built in DAC correct? So would having the JDS with it's own DAC not work? Or would it work & the DAC not be of any use or any sound difference? I presently use a...

    Hmmmm? I'm kind of torn. Shiit Asgard 2 or the new JDS?? But the JDS has a DAC which I don't think the Asgard 2 has right?

    Awesome review Matt! I was on the fence about these for a while now. Because like you & others I bought the original Mo's & my ears were SOOO uncomfortable I sold them about a month later. Luckily they still fetched a premium price even used! So I'm going to jump in & purchase the Mo2's.

    @koolpep, I bought it on Amazon & ended up returning & getting the Sennheiser Momentum IE's. That was a mistake! Although I liked the over ear Momentums (except for the ear cup size, returned them as well) I don't have a clue what they're ere attempting with the IE's so I may end up purchasing...

    Awesome review! I actually bought these. They're BEAUTIFUL LOOKING however the remote stopped working within 3 days! I've never had a product "conk" out on me in that short of time. Sooooo disappointed!
