I really dig the HE-4.  Part of me wants to get an HE-6 since I love the 4's so much, but another part of me thinks that it can't be THAT much better. :)  But who am I kidding.  The HE-6 is on the path, but I definitely won't part with my 4's.

Have had one of these for a few years now.  A great piece of equipment, I love the sound.     I have had a question now for awhile just never remembered to post it.  If I am using it for 3+ hours (for example) I will notice that it starts to get a bit static-y. I popped the top off and the...

I will second the DT990 600 ohm with the Valhalla/Bifrost combo.... a great match!

Apple couldn't let Schiit have all the glory that day.

I moved up the Schiit line (Asgard 1, Bifrost, Valhalla, Asgard 2) and now have both the Mjolnir and Gungnir.  I am pretty happy with this.   It was a pain to convert my headphones to balanced, but now that its done, I'm super happy with the sound I'm getting from these.  I will gladly upgrade...

I have an Audio-GD reference 1 DAC in my home system and its smooth like butter.  :)  Very laid back and relaxed.  I love it.

No experience with the Lyr, but I went from Asgard 1, to Valhalla, and now to Mjolnir.  I found by increasing the power it got more resolving, better atmosphere, soundstage, but I didn't get a thickening of the mid-bass region.  I find that I get that thickening with different headphones, at...

Interesting - thanks for the replies guys.  I probably won't upgrade for awhile, but I appreciate the advice, something to chew on.  Wow, I figured the Mjolnir had enough power for the HE-6.  Hmm, that would definitely put a damper on that upgrade... thanks again

Thought I would report in, keep this thread going...   I've lived with the HE-4 for a couple months now, as well as my Denon AH-D5000.  Both are stock except for new cables (balanced to attach to my Schiit Mjolnir/Gungnir combo).     I got the HE-4 and then added the Denon.  I thought...

Yeah I was very hesitant to sell my old DT990s when I upgraded my amp.     I am now running a Schiit Mjolnir (balanced only) and have Hifiman HE-4 and Denon AH-D5000, both balanced.  They sound great... but for the long work day, nothing beats the DT990s.  Last week I sent them off to BTG to...

Amp on top. Still runs a lot cooler than my Asgard did.

I have the HE-4 and really dig them.  They have a nice thick midrange and a little thump in the low end. Should make nice rock cans.  The only issue I have with them is that they are kind of heavy and you can't really do the whole head-bobbing thing without them moving or falling off due to...

The 'show your headphone rig' thread turned into a vinyl thread.  And the vinyl thread turned into a cassette tape thread! lol   Seriously cool looking room you have there Ray....

I agree, the Beyerdynamic DT770 is the one you want. Its $125 used on amazon right now, but the ear pads are the most comfortable I have experienced. I even moved those ear pads to other more expensive headphones, they are that good. The closed back is what will suit you too. They are built well...

I swapped my Hifiman velour pads (on my HF-4) for the Beyerdynamic velour pads - much more comfortable. Something else to think about.

I just posted about my Mjolnir upgrade over here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/603218/schiit-mjolnir-headphone-amplifier/2610#post_9309257   The day after my Mjolnir arrived, I received my Gungnir.  I previously was using the Mjolnir (unbalanced) with the Bifrost.  I immediately found the...

Just upgraded myself to the Mjolnir this week, so thought I would chime in my praise as well.  I am using the HifiMan HE-4.  I was previously on the Schiit Valhalla (which probably was more suited for my previous DT990 600 ohms anyway) but the different between the two (and upgrade to the...
