Reply to review by 'Somek' on item 'Schiit Audio Midgard Desktop Headphone Ampliier'
@adydula I think that it is very set-dependent, but the bass on Midgard is speedy and precise, so what you give is what you get. I usually prefer a bit of oompf more, but I can see why people will be delighted with what Midgard does. It is a bit of my preference. Otherwise, the bass is terrific...- Somek

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
@Jason Stoddard correct me if I missed that, but I haven't seen you talking a bit more about inherently linear amplifiers. I think that many people still don't get what that means, and why is better than amps based on very high closed-loop gain. For those curious, the short answer is: "You...- Somek

Good for you man! It's not pins, but the whole socket. Guess I was unlucky and got a faulty socket. Either way, thanks for a good word on the review :)- Somek

Schiit Midgard - Impressions Thread
Rarely do I get this excited about a product. It's my first date with Schiit Audio and I hope they'll call me again. The Midgard is an extremely capable headphone amplifier, whose sound exceeds its price tag a couple of times. Also, note the interesting mixed feedback HALO output, which helps to...- Somek

Schiit Midgard - Impressions Thread
I spent most of my career reviewing with stereo ;) I've been doing headphones for 2 years, give or take. I'm still pretty fresh. There is only one recommendation from me. Find a headphone that you like and then build the system around it :) Also, go and listen to stuff!- Somek
