I am interested in the Audio-gd NFB-10.32 and the Schiit Asgard 2 for a set of LCD-2s. Can you guys provide some guidance? I'm leaning towards the NFB-10.32 since it has tons of power and looks like it'll be more future-proof in the long run and it includes a good DAC as well.   Also, how do...

Review of Schiit Asgard 2: preliminary thoughts after one weekend of beta testing   I was recently sent a new production, slightly modified Schiit Asgard 2 for beta testing.  I’ve been an owner of the Asgard 1 for some time, and I went through two earlier Asgard 2s.  The two Asgard 2s...

Hello all. I'm looking to buy a mid budget amp ($150-250) for my AKG K702. The source is a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium (non-HD version), and later a Creative Sound Blaster ZxR. I'm currently quite satisfied with my setup on its own, but would like something to extend the bass a bit...

So at last my first post.   Here I come:   I got a pair of Grado 225i and now I want a desktop amp/dac combo for them. I have "reduced" my list to this:   JDL O2/ODAC Schiit M+M Schiit Asgard 2 + Modi  HRT Headsreamer     I am looking for:   Something to match my...

Hi ! i have found a guy selling it I read great opinions but also that it runs really hot. Even the pot gets hot I wonder if in the long term the heat could wear out some parts ...  pcb, components ... don't know Most important,  how would you rate this headphone amp compared to a Fiio...

Well, Hi. So im still a newbie when it comes to audio, for the past 4 months i have been on a journey of music production, I currently own the Focusrite Forte, the new Adam F7 Monitors, Sennheiser HD595, Some synths and other music production gear.   Anyway... I invested in the Sennheiser...

Hey fellas. Okay so I've been searching all over this forum and I've come to the conclusion of either getting the HD650s or the HE-400. Yes I know they've been compared again and again but every thread just gets contradicted by another thread. One will say the HD650 has better refined sound with...

I'm torn between Audio GD C-2 amp and Schiit Lyre  Asgard. I have Grado RS1, AKG K702 and Denon AH-D7000. Which is better amp and synergy with headphones I have?        

So, I think it's about time I split up my DAC and Amp.   I'm looking for a DAC to pair with (possibly) a Schiit Asgard. I've heard good things about Schiit, and I love the over all look of the amp itself.   I've been doing some looking but haven't found anything particular that has...

I had trouble finding comments on the matchup between W5000 and Schiit Asgard. I really enjoy the sound of W5000 with even with iphone. As a first step to upgrade, I'm considering Asgard or possibly Valhalla. For DAC, I'm considering audinst. If you have had any experience, I want to know how it...

I bought it off someone from here if that matters for anything, so it isn't new. The previous owner said he owned it for about a year, not sure on the playtime though. My set-up is far from extraordinary, but I can't really blame it on that quite yet. Running some Sennheiser HD 280 Pros and a...

I was originally just going to get some HD598s (and still might depending on how this thread turns out), but I wanted to see what a slight raise in budget could get me. I have no idea what sort of sound I want as I only own a pair of HD280 Pros, so my experience is limited. Something fun, but...

I've been looking for a headphone amp to pair with my Audinst HUD-MX1 DAC and Senn HD600s. From what I've read the m-stage and Asgard both have great reviews and are both at the same price point. Which one should I go for?

Hi,   I been looking for a DAC & AMP to replace my old ibasso D2 Viper.  I really liked the sound of it with my Denon's but I broke it.  I've been interested in the Asgard as an amp for the Denon D7000's but my total budget is about $500 for both amp+DAC, and the BiFrost with USB is $450...

Hello.. Well, i recently just got the HD650, and currently am driving them with my udac-2. I know they need more power and was wondering what would be better with the HD650: to get the e7/e9 combo or to get the Schiit asgard and use it with my udac-2

Hey, I'm looking to buy a headphone, an amp and maybe a new DAC over the next year with a budget of $720 (I can stretch this a little to $800).   After quite a long research period, I've gone from considering just a WA6+Sofia 274B to buying a D2000+DT990 and now a HD650+Schiit Asgard+HRT...

'Ello, I'm aware that questions like these get asked very often, and I have searched before asking.   My main source is my computers integrated sound, so would it be wiser for me to get E9 + E7, and not use the integrated sound, or use the integrated sound chip and buy just the Schiit amp...

TL/DR Thinking about ordering the Schiit Asgard, what are your thoughts on this vs. other similarly priced amps? How much of an upgrade (in SQ) would I get when coupling it to an E10? How much of an upgrade (in SQ) would I get by upgrading from an E10 to a Bifrost?   Intro. First post...

I just recently purchased Sennheiser HD650s on Head-Fi along with the equinox cables for them. I'm currently using the Xonar Essence ST sound card for them, and would like to purchase an amp. My budget is around $250 + tax/shipping and I'm currently eyeing the Mavs A1 w/ Raytheons, or the Schiit...

Just looking at some cables and wondering what the best way would be to connect an iPod to a headphone amp like the Schiit Asgard for better sound quality. Would it be the top plug (1/8"?) or the bottom 30 pin dock connector, or does it even matter?

(Amp section only)   Before voting! There is a requirement. Please have at least Two of the above Amps. So the results are somewhat accurate and based on a comparison, instead being which amp is most popular.     PS. I'm new to Head-fi. Just want know which Amp is best for noobs...

Well im looking into buying an Asgard and was wanting to know what is the best bang for my buck for a dac for this amp?

So it's been a while since I had a headphone (Pro 900) and since i have enough money saved up I want to get a system for in-home listening to use with my iBasso D6.   I want to get headphones in the price range of about $200-300 (HD650, K702, DT880).  Would JDSlabs o2 or Asgard be ideal to...

I was thinking of purchasing the hd-500 as an upgrade from my grado sr-225's, I currently use a Schiit Asgard amp, and was wondering if it puts out enough power for the he-500;s and if anyone has paired these 2 together? Any impressions? Also what other headphones pair well with the Schiit amp.

Hey all,   I know there are a million threads covering this sort of thing, but I've read so many now that my head's starting to swim a little.   I currently have the DT880 250ohm and am listening straight through the realtek soundcard off my laptop.  The Asgard is decided on already, so...
