    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...

    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.

    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...
