Schiit Magni 3 VS Asgard 2
I think it does not matter to me, I mean their current production etc. What matters is the sound and the difference, I am sure for many years even from now people will be talking about them just like we talk about the 1960's and 70's vintage stereo amplifiers.- nofacemonster

Schiit Magni 3 VS Asgard 2
...(6XX). I also AB them using my Blon BL-03, VE Monk Plus. I still pick the ASGARD 2. it's unbelievable that both amps comes from the same manufacturer and they do sounds absolutely different. (I thought all amps should sound not the same but close *Transparent*) but this is like night and day.- nofacemonster

Schiit Magni 3 VS Asgard 2
Thank you for the input!!! I really appreciate it, so there is a difference. I think Asgard 2 has a difference in larger margin when compared to magni 3. Especially in the highs region when used as a preamp for a stereo amplifier.- nofacemonster

Review of the Little-Dot MKII Tube Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
I have the asgard 2. I used to own LD MK2, and asgard 2 is far better than LD MK2, as a headphone amp and as a preamp for big stereo power amp that drives speakers.- nofacemonster

Review by 'nofacemonster' on item 'Schiit Asgard 2'
I've had FX Audio DAC-X6, then moved on to Little Dot MKII and upgraded the tubes. I've used couple of more headphone amplifiers and finally I managed to get my hands on a ASGARD 2. I was simply blown away by the sound of it. my HD-6XX never sounded better than this. It simply put my previous LD...- nofacemonster

I had this hum problem because Asgard 2 I have is from USA with 115VAC power supply. Where I live has 230V power and the issue is in my home the power drops to 200V so typical 110~120V stepdown really didn't provide enough power to the asgard so it hums. Happens with Magni 3 too. I found a...- nofacemonster

Schiit Magni 3 VS Asgard 2
I've been using Asgard 2 for more than a year with my HD6XX and I absolutely adore it. I could listen to it for hours and no fatigue at all. About a week back i took to my friend who is a speaker user (not a headphone user) and let him hear it on his Tannoy 15 Inch gold monitors hooked to a...- nofacemonster

Schiit Asgard 2 and the heat related question!
I have a Schiit Asgard 2 and I love it. All my late evening and night listening sessions were done with it paired with a HD6XX. However I am little concerned over how hot it gets after 1 to 1 1/2 hours of usage. Will this effect the amp negatively in the long run...? it is operated in an air...- nofacemonster

Is what's in the image is correct? (TRN earphones)
I found it on the below URL. If what this image says is correct the cables polarity is wrong. L side is correct and the L emblem should face outward. R side it will be incorrect if the R emblem faces outwards. It is correct when the emblem faces inward but the plug that connect to socket goes in...- nofacemonster

Has anyone tried amping old KZ ZS5?
I know i am about to talk about pretty old stuff, probably nobody cares. I have a pair of KZ ZS5 which bought about 6 or 7 years back for my portable listening when I go around. They are still with me with upgraded cables and sounds pretty good, but i seldom used them after the covid crisis...- nofacemonster
