Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
With so much power in the Asgard 3, how sensitive is the volume knob? I currently only have Grado 125i and At50s which are both easy to drive. I'm afraid the high power in this amp may be more than I ever need but I like the form factor better than the Magni 3 (along with the few reports that...- RB2021

Yes as much as optical would be nice, I wouldn't give up USB for it without the option to swap the cards easily myself. The modi 3 compliments the Asgard well in function but not in form. I'd like the second option with Unison usb and user swapable cards please . A cheaper DS DAC for those who...- RB2021

Thank you that is good to know. You are confirming what some other people have stated and I feel as if I have enough opinions on this now to trust it won't be an amp / grilled cheese maker. Schiit's own website claims if you are looking for a DAC that runs cool look elsewhere but I guess...- RB2021

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
Hello all. First post here! I'm struggling to decide between the Asgard 3 with 4490 dac and something like the Topping D50S + a JDS Labs Atom. These will be my first ever DAC/AMP purchases and I intend to drive my Grado 125i + AT50s. I understand that these are both easy to drive headphones...- RB2021
